Karlovačko is a popular beer in Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina.
 It is the signature product of brewer Karlovačka Pivovara, located in the city of Karlovac.
 It has an alcohol content of about 5.4 percent by volume.
 Its makers describe it as "golden-yellow" in color and "refreshingly" bitter in taste.

Experimental beer is beer that is produced in or as a new style, using a new recipe, or as a type of beer that does not fit within present beer style criteria or definitions.
 The term also encompasses minor beer styles that are not covered under any of the Beer Judge Certification Program (BJCP) categories, with the exception of Belgian beers.
 Such minor beer styles may serve "as an incubator" for new potential categories, and may attain an official category if the style becomes of interest to the general public at a sufficient level.
 The Great American Beer Festival has an experimental beer category as a part of its competition, for which awards are given, as does the World Beer Cup, which also provides awards for beers in this category.
 The Oregon State Fair has a home brew competition that includes a category for specialty and experimental beers.
Leonardus (Leo) Petrus Beukeboom (1943) is a signpainter and lettering artist from De Pijp, Amsterdam perhaps best known for his krulletters ("curly letters") that adorn the city's bruin cafes ("brown cafes") throughout the central neighborhoods of the Jordaan, de Pijp, and Nieuwe Zijde.
 Beukeboom was originally trained as a typographic compositor, holding both a diploma and certificate in layout from the Amsterdamse Grafische School.
 After completing his courses in 1962, Beukeboom worked trivial jobs until 1967 when he began working as a freelance signpainter, almost exclusively for the Amsterdam-based Heineken brewery which commissioned him to decorate cafes as a general advertising strategy, a collaboration that lasted until 1989.
 Beukeboom devoted over thirty years decorating cafes in the krulletters tradition, until 2001 when forced to retire due to health reasons.
Christian Moerlein Brewing Co. is a private beer company that began production in 1853 in Cincinnati, Ohio by German immigrant Christian Moerlein.
 Before closing its doors in 1919 as result of prohibition, Christian Moerlein was among the ten largest American breweries by volume.
 In 1981, the brand was revived by the Hudepohl Brewing Company as a "better beer" a precursor to the current craft beer category and is considered a pioneer craft beer of today's craft beer movement.
 In 1999, Hudepohl-Schoenling Brewing Co. sold out to a group of out-of-town owners, a sale that included the famed Christian Moerlein craft beer brand.
 In 2004, Greg Hardman a Cincinnati resident purchased Christian Moerlein, as well as 65 other historic Cincinnati brands, returning local ownership to Cincinnati in a move that included a plan to return Cincinnati's grand brewing traditions.
 The four phase plan was, 1) return the local ownership of Cincinnati's great beer brands to Cincinnati; 2) build their base of sales to; 3) open local brewing operations in the heart of Cincinnati's historic Brewery District and; 4) open a World-class Moerlein Lager House on the banks of the Ohio River to act as a signal that beer is back in Cincinnati.

American lager or North American lager is pale lager that is produced in North America.
 Pale lager originated in Europe in the mid-19th century, and moved to America with German immigrants.
 As a general trend outside of Bavaria and the Czech Republic where the beers may be firmly hopped, pale lager developed as a modestly hopped beer, and sometimes used adjuncts such as rice or maize – and this was also true in America.
