The Pils
Brues Alehouse Brewing Co
Our Impression: We are always excited to brew a Pilsner. Specifically Bavarian and Bohemian style Pilsners. These beers exhibit a very strong hop attitude which is quite rare throughout the lager brewing nations of Europe. The potency of European Noble hops is on a lower level than nearly all American Hops. Noble hops are delicate, spicy, earthy and very pleasant, which makes it difficult to make a hop forward beer. In our experience, it takes a very large amount to make them shine in a beer. Our beer straddles the line between Bavarian, and Bohemian Pilsners. The use of German malts and Czech hops brings the best of both worlds.
