Craft Beer vs Lager: What’s Better for a Wedding?

When planning your wedding bar, one of the most common questions is: Should we serve craft beer or lager? Both have their fans, and both can make your big day extra special but the right choice depends on your venue, guest list, and personal taste.

Why Lager Works for Most Weddings

Lager is clean, crisp, and easy to drink making it a safe, crowd pleasing choice. It’s perfect for:

• Summer weddings and outdoor receptions
• Guests who prefer familiar, refreshing options
• Pairing with lighter food menus (e.g. canapés, BBQ, or buffets)

Popular Wedding Lagers:

• Peroni Keg Hire
• Birra Moretti Keg Hire
• Madri Lager Keg Hire

Why Choose Craft Beer?

Craft beer adds character to your bar. With bold flavours, hop-forward profiles, and unique styles, it’s a great fit for:

• Couples who love beer and want something different
• Evening receptions or autumn/winter weddings
• Pairing with richer or more adventurous food

Great Craft Picks:

• Beavertown Neck Oil Keg Hire
• Camden Pale Ale Keg Hire

Our Take: Offer Both

The best wedding bars offer variety. One lager, one IPA or pale ale, and a cider is often the perfect trio keeping guests of all tastes happy.
