Hear the song that inspired the beer.

When King’s Road Brewing Company teams up with Craig Whitaker of Blue Claw County, you know it’s going to taste — and sound — like summer at the Shore. Inspired by Craig’s song “Better Than I Remember,” our new Blue Claw Lemon Lager captures that same easygoing nostalgia: sunshine on your face, salt in the air, and nights that somehow turn out even better than you expected.

Bright, crisp, and finished with a splash of refreshing lemon, Blue Claw Lemon Lager is brewed for long weekends, live music, and raising a can with friends while the band plays on. Just like the song, it’s smooth, memorable, and made for moments you’ll want to relive — because sometimes the second sip really is better than you remember.

Craig Whitaker Better Than I Remember

A Collaboration Born for the Shore

When Craig Whitaker sat down with the team at King’s Road Brewing Company, the conversation started with one simple question: What does the perfect Shore summer taste like in a can? The answer became Blue Claw Lemon Lager — bright, crisp, and finished with a splash of refreshing lemon. Inspired by the song “Better Than I Remember.” Brewed for long weekends, live music, and raising a can with friends while the band plays on.
