Once upon a time, Colin & Sean were discussing the joys of a good pint at Main Street Brewery, when we asked, “Would you like to see how the magic happens?” Before they knew it they were concocting their very own beer, under the guidance of Jack “The Brewer”. Asked to name their beer they paused a moment, mused about this adventure, then it hit them – By Hook or by Crook.

What the boys have created is a classic, golden coloured bohemian pilsner, brewed with European malts & hopped with Czech saaz hops for a floral, spicy hop aroma. Pour youself a glass & enjoy!

Draft - Light citrus and a touch of grain, clear gold with a nice white head. Light citrus, cracker and a pleasant grainy finish. Nothing special, but not bad.

Draught and bottle, at/from the brewery
Golden color, hazy. Nice combination of biscuity and crackery malts with grassy and herbaceous hops, dry but with a good body structure. Clean, solid. Very good Pilsner. So much that I bought a bottle too; when I had the bottle I wished it had a bit more bitterness.

On tap at Main Street, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out notes of grass and crisp crackery malt. Flavour is very crisp and refreshing, with lots of biting grassy hops and crisp crackery malt. Very nicely constructed authentic Czech pils. Highly drinkable and refreshing.
