Description
Occidental Brewing Co. was founded in 2011 by Ben and Dan Engler with the goal of making well-balanced continental-style beers in the land of IPAs: Portland, Oregon. Finding a niche with beer drinkers who had grown tired of the hops arms race, we quickly grew (but not too much) with our lineup of approachable, sessionable, and award-winning ales and lagers. We began canning our core beers in 2013 and now bottle multiple seasonal offerings as well. Over the years we expanded our distribution from our Portland brewery to much of Oregon, Western Washington, Nevada, Idaho, and the occasional shipment to Japan. Look for Occidental beer in your local supermarket, bottle shop, bar or restaurant. Prost!

Clear yellow body with white head. Light hop aroma. Orange in taste all of it rather light. Thin finish. Their regular pilsner is better. Brewed with Baerlic Brewing.

Quite decent job of a maibock. Mercury and tempered caramel. A little too much of the latter if anything. Golden pour with good head and lacing. Crisp, light sweet end. Decent job. Tap at brewery.

16 oz can from Homebrewstuff. Clear, bright golden. Small fizzy head. Grassy, zesty light hop aroma. Taste also features a nice crisp hop edge, with a light sweet malt bill underneath. Pils with a bit of zing.
