Brewery: Garage Beer Co. | Location: Columbus, OH
Style: American Light Lager | ABV: 4.2% | Rating: ⭐⭐⭐½
NFL brothers Jason and Travis Kelce joined Garage Beer as majority owners and active partners, and the brand exploded in 2025 — debuting at #12 on the Brewers Association’s Top 50 list. But celebrity hype aside, this is actually a solid, well-made light lager.
Appearance
Crystal clear pale gold with a thin white head. Classic, no-nonsense lager looks.
Aroma
Clean and light — faint grain, a whisper of hops, and nothing else fighting for attention. Simple and honest.
Taste
Refreshingly straightforward. Light grain sweetness, gentle hop crispness, and a clean, dry finish. It’s not trying to be anything other than a crushable, every-occasion lager — and it succeeds.
Mouthfeel
Light-bodied, highly carbonated, and supremely drinkable.
Bottom Line
Garage Beer is a genuinely well-made light lager that earns its place at the game-day cooler, the backyard BBQ, or anywhere you want something cold and easy. The Kelces brought the buzz, but the beer holds its own.
