Leinenkugel Light Beer is one of the first light lagers brewed with pale malt and a touch of caramel and red wheat malts at 4.2% ABV. This recipe has been in the Leinenkugel family for generations. Our classic light lager beer is crisp, clean and refreshing and has a lightly toasted and crackery malt character. Whether you're planning a large gathering or you're looking for a classic pale lager to enjoy at home, the crisp, consistent taste of Leinenkugel Light Beer is perfect for any time of year. Jacob Leinenkugel founded the Leinenkugel family brewery in 1867 with the hope of infusing his German family heritage into delicious, enjoyable beers. Today, the sixth generation of Leinenkugels continues to brew the same German-inspired recipes in a variety of tastes and flavors.
