The Take
No, lager is not healthy. Slop Score 52.
Bottom-fermenting yeast gives a clean profile, but big brands cut it with rice or corn, turning a crisp tradition into watered-down alcohol delivery with no nutritional upside. Mass-market versions taste like empty regret.
The Verdict
Skip generic lager. Buy a proper Pilsner Urquell or local unfiltered version with listed ingredients instead.
Slop Score 52.
