The folks at Urban Chestnut Brewing Co., no longer content with making relatively fancy beers, have entered the market with a plain, old-fashioned American lager. Urban Underdog (of course it has a dog-related name) is a fine example of what is still this country's favorite type of beer; it is heartier and more flavorful than most (the malted corn particularly stands out), with a crisp finish.
