Sunnyside Dweller is the closest thing we have to a core beer. Introduced in the fall of 2015, it was our inaugural lager. All these years later, it remains our go-to — a crisp, clean, 5.1% pilsner with a citrusy noble hop character and an assertive bitterness that mellows over time.
Brewed with unadulterated Loudoun County water and a simple grist — Pilsen malt with just a touch of Vienna and Carapils — Sunnyside Dweller is constructed to exhibit one of our favorite hops: Spalter Select. We add this newish-school German varietal in the boil and then again after fermentation, imbuing our unfiltered pilsner with a bursting bouquet of lemon and classic herbal notes.

I nb think I had this at streets in Alexandria. It was a pretty unremarkable pils on a summer day but not bad

Can Jam 2019, Deciduous Brewing Co. Ample carbonation in this Pilsner. Bready nose with hint of lemon, grass. Palate is focused with nice doughy backbone, touch of honey, lemon and ends clean. Nice for the style.

Bottle from the brewery, bottled 10/19/16, consumed 11/27/16. Pours white gold, clear, with a fizzy, bubbly froth of bright white head and some streaky lacing. Herbal, grainy malt, and grass. Finishes with a strong bitterness. Very clean mouthfeel with a dry close. Not quite the crispness I generally look for in the style, but a very drinkable, clean, hoppy Pils that I'd happily drink again.
