Brewer’s Alley Pilsner
Beer-a-Day #307
A very pale beer brewed as a lager and which has a crisp, assertive Czechoslovakian Saaz hop character. This beer took 6 weeks to produce because the strain of yeast we used has a slow and cold fermentation, which results in a very smooth beer. 4.3% alcohol by volume.
This was the first Brewer’s Alley beer I ever saw in a bottle. (They’ve recently changed the label to match their other bottles so I don’t have a picture.)
Pale straw with a white, fizzy head. A slight nuttiness and fruitiness in the aroma. Pleasant malty sweetness with nice bitterness. One of my favorite beers to have after a rough day of yardwork.

Beer-a-Day #294 Our new canned good is a delicious, small-batch version of the beer that made Pilsen, Czechoslovakia famous. Mama’s is made with hearty amounts of pale malt, German specialty malts, and traditional (Saaz) and 21st century Bavarian hops. It’s the perfect antidote for the watered-down, cornfed versions of pilsner clogging America’s shelves. Our first
Beck’s Pilsner

Beer-a-Day #228 Made from the original 1873 recipe, our signature brew has a full-bodied taste, hoppy bouquet, golden color and rich full head. Your tasting notes might say something like “a slightly fruity but crisp firmness – ends with a clean dry finish,” but most people simply say, “Now that’s a Beck’s.” I am a

Beer-a-Day #182 Halfway through the year, and I’ve just about exhausted the selection at my favorite retailer. I’ve taken to shopping with a list of things I shouldn’t get. Named for the delicate engravings popularized by 19th century seafarers, Scrimshaw is a fresh tasting Pilsner brewed in the finest European tradition using Munich malt and,

Beer-a-Day #178 My wife’s dear friend Ellen took our kids to see a movie, leaving us with an hour and forty-five minutes to kill. So, of course we went to a brewpub. On tap was the new “1634 Ale”, brewed to celebrate the founding of the Maryland colony. From the press release: “1634 Ale” was

Beer-a-Day #157 My wife and I had some friends over this evening. With our two kinds of salsa we had salmon cooked on the grill with lemon, vinegar, and cilantro. A light, Mexican beer seemed an appropriate accompaniment. Pacifico fit the bill nicely. Pale straw with one finger of white head. Little aroma and very,

Brooklyn Pilsner

Beer-a-Day #131 Another “rule breaker” but what the hell. Pale straw; white head. Slightly floral aroma. Light and refreshing, with a slightly fruity essence. As I’ve said before, this is the beer those not-really-American beer giants wish they brewed.
