On countryside walks in England we would often come upon kissing gates. These charmingly named gates had a panel that would swing inside a “V” shaped fence and one person could slip through at a time (and livestock were secure on their side). Being Americans in England we took the name literally, making sure to kiss on each pass — treating kissing gates like mistletoe.

This crisp, hoppy lager is full of floral and bright citrus notes and is perfect for raising to your lips on the paths between kissing gates.
