From the label

“Label explicitly states 'Drinking Buddies - Imperial Pale Lager'. 'Imperial Pale Lager' does not map cleanly to any specific lager substyle node (pilsner, helles, american_lager, etc.) — the 'Imperial' modifier and 'Pale Lager' designation together are best captured as lager_other. ABV of 5.6% is notably low for a typical 'imperial' designation, suggesting 'Imperial' may be a brand/name choice rather than a strength descriptor. Brewed and packaged by Swan Brewing, Lakeland, FL 33815.”
