For years, lager has been labelled the ‘simple’ option. The safe choice, the fridge filler, the thing you order when you’re not sure what to get. But at Renegade, we know lager has far more character than it’s ever given credit for. It’s crisp, clean, refreshing… and genuinely one of the most technically demanding beer styles top brew well.
That’s exactly why we brew Renegade Master premium lager. Our no-nonsense, perfectly balanced proof that lager deserves a lot more respect.
Why Lager Deserves a Comeback
Lager’s reputation for being ‘basic’ comes from big-brand mass production, not the style itself. When you strip things back to proper brewing with quality malt, clean fermentation, cold conditioning and the right hops; lager becomes a thing of beauty.
A great lager is crisp, refreshing, light, flavourful, smooth and balanced. A genuine showcase of skilled brewing.
It’s also one of the hardest styles to hide flaws in. There’s nowhere tpo hide and that’s what makes a well-brewed lager sop special.

- Bock – rich, warming and bold
And sitting proudly in the modern UK craft scene is the kind of lager we love brewing at Renegade: clean, refreshing, flavour-packed, and built for proper drinking. Which brings us to…
