Rahr & Sons’ Ugly Pug is a schwarzbier, or black lager. Regarding its interesting name, the beer was titled after brewer Fritz Rahr, Jr. saw his mother-in-law’s dog (a pug named Oscar) lounging in a chair. Fritz exclaimed “What an ugly pug!” At the time of the outburst, Fritz and family were drinking a test batch of the black lager, and that became the beer’s name.
