Description
Penn Brewery began brewing craft beer back in 1986, making us one of the earliest pioneers in the American craft movement. We started out brewing classic lagers and German beer styles, adhering to the strict quality standards of the 16th-century Bavarian Reinheitsgebot purity laws. As we’ve expanded our lineup in recent years to include IPAs and other contemporary styles like chocolate and pumpkin beers, we’ve stayed true to our quality craftsmanship, brewing all of our beers by hand with top-tier barley and hops. We’re proud to say that Penn beers have won a total of twenty Great American Beer Festival® and World Beer Cup® medals.

Sampled on draft at Hough’s this beer poured a red-brown color with a huge fluffy red-white head that lingered and left incredible lacing. The aroma was sweet, tangy, a bit tart and had a touch of sugar. The flavor was tart, sour, bitter, a bit chalky and had a vague fruity notes. Long finish. Medium body. Meh.

Guess where I had this beer? Pale yellow with nice lacing. A simple just plain old good pittsburgh beer aroma annat. Slightly more hoppy than the allegheny brew fer sure. It’s not in yer face at all, more well behaved, I like this one. Just enough hops to let you know its beer. Well behaved overall and almost civilized, heheh. Hop bitterness builds near the end, quite good co2.

So, everybody knows I believe in the rodent. What he says, goes. Tap @ Bocktown, lovely place with lovely people. Clear and pale. Smells beery fresh and that carries over to the taste, yummy. Easy and nice, clean and fresh, never bitter, with many friendly pilsner attitudes as compared to the bitter euro varieties. Good job Pen and a good job on this pilsner that the majority of beer drinkers in Pgh can enjoy and this includes those counties north of Pgh as well, heheh!

Sample at Ericka’s and Nihar’s Holiday Gathering on 12/18/2015. The beer is a dark mahogany color with a medium light beige head that diminishes steadily to a film. Strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of malt, dark fruit and caramel. Medium to full body with flavors of caramel malt, ripe fruit, mild hops and a bit of tobacco. The finish is sweet with a malty aftertaste. Decent overall.
