Pickup No. 26 Pilsner is a tribute to our farming heritage. In the country, the pickup has always ruled. Our Craft Cider and Brew House is located just off Highway No. 26 as you enter Thornbury Village. Enjoy the taste of our traditionally-made beers, handcrafted in no particular hurry.

An authentic Czech-style pilsner brewed with Bohemian malts, Saaz hops and genuine Czech yeast. These traditional ingredients are handcrafted by our Brewmaster in small batches creating a bright, golden-coloured, refreshing beer. Pleasing malty flavours and a soft floral and spicy hop character make this a complex and well-balanced Bohemian Pilsner.

Pours with a quickly descending head and a orange/gold body. Aroma not too great some malts and grassy hops. Taste is pretty mediocre. Has some of the offensive tastes of a crappy pale lager. Otherwise there are grainy tastes.... a modicum of hops... and slight bitterness.

On tap at victory in Toronto. Big cereal malt aroma with background hops. Malty, buttery flavor, slightly fruity. Well-done Bohemian pilsner. Good balance, big malt, surprisingly hoppy finish.

Bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival 2007. A lightly hazy golden beer iwth a thin lazing beige head. The aroma is sweet with notes of straw and malt. The flavor is sweet mlaty with notes of straw, leading to a dry bitter finish with notes of hay lingering.

Deep blond color, small head. Mild aroma of malt and cereals. The same goes for the flavor, quite good, and with correct (and maybe more) bitterness. Pleasant.

Hazy deep blond color. Light aroma of bread cereals and honey. Dry mouthfeel, with flavor of hay and light honey; correct bitterness. Better than a mass produced lager, but still simple.

Hazy light blond color. Light malt and hop aroma. Dry mouthfeel, well hopped. Not amazing but a notch above the average. Strong bitterness.

(Bottle, Oliver Twist, Stockholm) Yellow colour with big, frothy, white head. Malty, clean nose with fresh notes of hay, grassy hops and fruity hints of citrus. Clean, malty taste with grass, hay and fresh notes of hops in the finish. Fairly dry. Exciting is not really the word, but really well made and true to the style. Definitely a nice surprise.

Golden color, off-white head, lace. Sticky hayish-fresh hoppy aroma. Grass hoppy flavor, some buttery notes. Grassy aftertaste. Decent imitation of Czech pils.

Bottled@SBWF2007. Yellowish golden colour with small white head. A very cleanly made pils both to the aroma and flavour. Refreshing and easy to drink.

Bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival. Pale golden, brief head. Papery malt aroma. Dry and medium bodied with rounded mouthfeel. Lightly grassy. Finishes with medium bitterness. Not at all all a bad effort, but I’d like my pilseners more crisp and with less cardboard.

Golden-yellow beer; fast disappearing white head. Vanilla, freshly ground coffeebeans, going over in fresh, warm pilsnermalt, tad cookies. No hops discernible? At least, in the taste there are (quite) some hops overlying the straw-y, haylike malts. Actually, pretty bitter with some metallic tang. Pleasing, if somewhat aggressive flavours. I would’ve classified it under Classic German pilsner, rather than Bohemian, (despite the Saaz), but the difference is meagre. Again hay retronasal. Medium bodied, grist slickness. Nowhere bad, this "Ultra Premium" Pilsner. Txs, Stephen!

Blonde lager with a thin white head. Light herbal malt aroma. In mouth, a classy czech hop, with crisp malt, very classy. Hops do linger in mouth. Light grafruit notes develop later. Medium bodied.
