1840 Original Lager takes inspiration from the early days of American lager brewing while putting a distinctly Aldus spin on the style. Malt-forward, crisp, and easy-drinking, it delivers fresh-baked bread, toasted crust, and light caramel notes without the heaviness, sweetness, or bitterness you might expect from a more robust beer.

We talked with Brandon, one of the bartenders at the Dolphin & Anchor Pub in Hanover, PA about the art of blending beers.

Aldus Brewing Company, a Hanover, PA favorite, has been named Small Business of the Year by the Hanover Area Chamber of Commerce. Since 2014, Aldus has been brewing smooth, approachable, and locally made craft beer, combining classic Kölsch inspiration with innovative techniques. We’re proud to serve our community and celebrate this honor with our team and neighbors.
