America’s Best Light Beer is Born in Memphis

WISEACRE’s Sky Dog takes home national gold 🏅

A can of Sky Dog Lager, heralded as America's Best light beer, sits outdoors beside a gold medal, with the vibrant cityscape of Memphis looming in the background.

The beer experts have spoken—and the best light beer in the country is brewed right here in the 901. Sky Dog Premium Lager from Memphis’ own WISEACRE Brewing Company was recently awarded the Gold Medal for American Light Lager at the Great American Beer Festival.

🏆 What Makes Sky Dog So Good?

Memphis Tried It. Memphis Chose Right.

We took to the streets to let Memphians try this award-winning beer for themselves—no stage, no script. Just good beer and real reactions.
