Springfield's most patriotic drinks

Springfield Brewing Company

Golden Draft Lager

Ingredients: Uh, beer

Price: $3.50

Walking into Brew Co., I didn't expect a colorful mixed drink. I got exactly what I thought I would: a well-crafted American beer pulled by Alex the bartender. "What's more American than a good beer?" he quipped. I happen to agree. This slightly bitter, clean, crisp, golden lager is a smooth drink and a great way to enjoy America's favorite pastime, baseball.  Plus, there's nothing more American than supporting our local economy, right? Sometimes, you just can't beat a beer; it's simple and to the point, with an acerbic twist. Much like a "Golden Girls" plot.
