F<\/span>ew immigrant beers have had a more lasting impact than Vienna lager, Austria\u2019s grandest contribution to the brewing canon. In 1841, renowned Austrian brewer Anton Dreher developed a malty amber brew that stood at the crossroads of sweetness, bitterness, and refreshment. It became one of continental Europe\u2019s favored styles in the second half of the 19th century before falling from popularity, pushed aside by paler beers such as pilsner. Vienna lager may have faded away if not for Austrian brewers who immigrated to Mexico, their homegrown lager finding new fans in North America.<\/p>\n

The import\u2019s legacy still endures south of the border, notably in the DNA of Negra Modelo and Dos Equis. Modern American brewers have seized upon the copper lager\u2019s combination of flavor, moderate alcohol, and food-friendliness, its soft and bready malt character making it an ideal ally for grilled vegetables, sausages, and chicken wings alike. With cheese, there\u2019s no shortage of pairing avenues to take. Malty sweetness makes Vienna lagers a fine foil for spicy cheeses such as pepper Jack, while the style\u2019s caramel complexity and palate-cleansing ability nicely complements a nutty aged Gruy\u00e8re or cheddar.<\/p>\n
