Located on the international border between Nepal and Tibet, Mount Everest is Earth's highest mountain above sea level. Its summit sits at an elevation of 29,032 ft (8,849m). On May 29, 1953, Sir Edmund Hillary of New Zealand and Tenzing Norgay, a sherpa of Nepal became the first to summit Mount Everest. On May 26, 2003, Lhakpa Gelu Sherpa accomplished a record-setting ascent of Everest with a time of 10 hours, 56 minutes, and 46 seconds. This record remains the fastest ascent of the south side of Mount Everest.
In recognition of Everest Day, Zoiglhaus is proud to brew this Himalayan Pilsner with our dear friend Mingma Sherpa. A touch of Himalayan Pink Salt and an addition of Himalayan Basmati rice gives this lager what every climber wants after a long day on the mountain. The spicy and herbal hop aromatics beg for another sip. Crisp like the high mountain air, noble like the Sherpas who make it all possible! Prost!
