Beer Overview
Centennial offers 350 brands from around the world - and the selection continues to grow. Global brands share shelf space with the U.S. ’s best-selling labels and craft brewers alike.

LAGERS
Lager is brewed with bottom fermenting yeast at cooler temperatures for a smooth flavour. Pale golden colour, carbonated and lightly hopped, lager is a crowd-pleaser that tastes crisp and refreshing. Best suited to lighter-tasting foods; grilled chicken, seafood or spicy Thai.

ALES
Brewed with top fermenting yeast at cellar temperature, ales are fuller-bodied, with nuances of fruit or spice and a pleasantly hoppy finish. Ales are often darker than lagers, ranging from rich gold to reddish amber. Serve with stronger-flavoured foods; red meat, sausage, fish & chips.

LIGHT BEERS
Extremely light in colour and body, and mild in flavour. Light beers are highly carbonated with low bitterness and no aftertaste. Light beers have fewer calories and/or lower alcohol content. Light beers compliment spicy Mexican or Italian foods, and combine nicely with appetizers.

DRAUGHT
Light or dark, in any style, draught beer is simply any beer served from a keg or cask. Fresh tasting and easy to drink, draught beer in bottles or kegs has slightly lower carbonation levels so is less filling than other bottles or cans. A natural with pub food & all types of snacks

ICE BEERS
Ice beer owes its concentrated flavour and smooth finish to its unique brewing process. The beer is cooled until ice crystals form, then filtered, resulting in a higher alcohol content. Serve ice beers well chilled, with seafood or poultry dishes.

STOUT BEERS
Deep, dark and flavourful, stout earns its character from brewing with highly roasted malts. Stout features intense malt and caramel flavours, and depending on the variety, ranges from sweet to dry and distinctively bitter. Serve as a unique compliment to shellfish, hearty stews and wild game.
