Our brewery has always been inspired by the German brewing process. We imported real copper German kettles to brew our beer.

Like the legendary European pilsners that inspired us, PILS is brewed with precision and balance. Its brilliant clarity and tight, white foam reveal our commitment to quality, from selecting the purest ingredients to our brewing process.

Amber with a large creamy white head that left great lacing. Tangy and citric. Medium finish and body.

Canned 8/18/25, drunk 10/7/25.
Clear with a large, white head falling steadily to ring. Bright golden.
Floral, zesty, spicy, herbal hops are front-and-center, but the honey-like pils malt rests right beside it, balancing gently. Clean and fairly aromatic for a macro lager. There's a big, fresh apple character I get, as well. Maybe a product of the yeast?
Juicy, round, sweet apple and honey with big, zesty, fresh herbal hops. Good bitterness, though not too much, with ample malt depth and attenuation. Clean and drinkable, though a bit flabby at points. Lots of fresh herb kind of at odds with the sweet apple. Kind of a weird, heavy pepperiness lingering.

On tap at The Beer Junction, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out light grassy hops, crackery malt, and straw. Flavour is grassy, with mild bitterness, straw, and biscuity malt. Timid and lacking pizzazz, but it’s alright.

On tap at Beer Junction. Pours clear blonde with a white head. Dry grass and cracker malts on the nose. Flavour is crisp with notes of dry grass and cracker malts. Medium carbonation. It's okay, could be more aggressive, especially on the carbonation front.

Pours clear yellow into a willi. White head with good retention turns soapy as it recedes to skim surface. Grass, biscuit and pine aromas. Crisp with sweet caramel, hay and biscuit upfront turning to lemon joy before dry earth in the medium length finish.

Pour out of the cute little 8.4oz can is a bright but very light gold with a large white head. Aroma is a very herbal and spicy hop. The flavor is about the same. A very upfront herbal spicy hop with some non-descript generic malt. This was a pretty good hop forward pils.

Super nice crisp and clean pilsner. Really good. Bright golden and clear. Nose is fresh grassy new mown hay type hop, a little spiciness, crackery malt profile with a nice medium bitter finish. Light to medium bodied, semi-dry. Truly a great one. I like these little 8.8oz cans they sell it in but they're kinda pointless because you need to drink 2 of em, but thats OK, drinking 2 is easy!

Aroma is floral, bready, peppery. Taste has a mild to moderate herbal bitterness backed by light bready malt sweetness.
