Breakside Pilsner
Our beloved Pilsner, now available in 12 oz cans for the first time!
When we opened our production brewery in 2013, we made a commitment to making a year-round German-style pilsner.
Why? Despite the fact that these beers are time-consuming and technically challenging, we make this style of beer because we love Pilsner.
We import Pilsner malt from Germany and manually add 3,000 pounds to each batch one bag at a time because we believe that to make a great German pilsner, you need great German malt. We source hops from the Hallertau, the famed hop-growing region, which we prize for their mix of floral, herbal, and grassy notes.
And then we wait. This beer is unfiltered, so we rely on natural lagering — long times and cold temperatures — to get this beer bright as sunshine.
