This week on The Best Beer I Drank This Week, host Brian Campbell from the Buffalo Beer League celebrates a standout local lager that’s perfect for summer: Simon Pure Light from Buffalo Brewing Company. At just 3.5% ABV, this ultra-light American lager is crisp, clean, and incredibly drinkable—making it one of the lightest local lagers available and an absolute crusher for hot days, lawn mowing, or poolside sipping.

Brian shares his personal experiences with the beer—from drinking it during yardwork to crushing it at parties—and explains why Simon Light has earned a top spot among Buffalo Brewing’s already excellent lineup of lagers.

🍺 Featured Beer:

Simon Pure Light – Buffalo Brewing Company

• American Lager | 3.5% ABV
• Crisp, clean, and refreshing
• Notes of bread crust and biscuity malt
• Light-bodied but still holds a firm malt presence
• Available in 12oz cans at the brewery (Myrtle Ave. Taproom)

Why It Stands Out:

• One of the lightest lagers being brewed locally—not macro light, but real craft character
• Retains the malt body of regular Simon Pure (4.5% ABV)
• Perfect for:
• Lawn care and yard work
• Poolside lounging
• Beer pong and yard games
• Sessioning without feeling weighed down
• Brian's favorite quote: “It looks like a beer, it smells like a beer, and it tastes like a beer.”

Shoutouts:

• Cheers to John Domres and the team at Buffalo Brewing for nailing this ultra-light lager
• Congrats to the brewery for reaching their crowdfunding goal for a new chiller—more lagers coming soon!
• Look for Simon Pure Light in cans (and possibly on side-pull draft!) at the Myrtle Ave taproom
