A little more high-brow than the standard, Pimp My Trailer also packs a little more ammo for an American lager style at a 5.6% ABV. Just like a BBQ pit master, low and slow is the brewer's mantra that values the best from its beer. After awakening from a decent lager phase, this superb beer is bound to evoke your best Billy Ray hairstyle and mend that Achy Breaky Heart.
