Beer-a-Day #318 I approach this beer with no small amount of trepidation. It is a “light” beer. It is a lager from Europe. It is in a clear bottle. If you’ve been following this project you know that any of those three things does not generally bode well for my enjoyment of a beer. It’s

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

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

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 #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,

Beer-a-Day #136 Pale, pale yellow. White head. Aroma is very light, as is the flavor. I’d have it again.

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.

Beer-a-Day #108 This is the third Smoky Mountain Brewery beer brought to me by my good friend Ellen. The label proclaims it a “Classic Bohemian Pilsner”. Straw-colored; a finger’s worth of white head. A little sulfur in the aroma, but malty. A bit of bite in the taste, but refreshing. submit_url = ‘http://hop-talk.com/2009/04/18/smoky-mountain-thunder-road-pilsner/’; Related Posts:Smoky

Sometimes I just have to try a beer based on the packaging. Morimoto Imperial Pilsner from Rogue is onesuch. It comes in a lovely, resealable ceramic bottle. Add to that my eldest daughter is really getting into all things Japanese and urged me to buy it. It also turns out to have been on Ron’s

#320! It’s getting close. I realize 365 is still a ways off, but have you put any thought into what might be that special final brew?
