pFriem Pilsner – pFriem Family Brewers – 95 Rating

BC: Who came up with this beer’s recipe?
All of our beers have team influence and are in a constant stage of progression, but I am the one that originally came up with this beer.

BC: What’s your favorite aspect of this beer (flavor, aroma, etc.)?
Its drinkability and subtle complexity. This beer drinks so well, it's an everyday drinker and also a year-round drinker for me and my crew.

BC: Where does this beer’s name come from?
With all our beers we just name them what they are. In this case its a historical style “Pilsner,” so the beers simply named Pilsner.

BC: Is this your “desert island beer?”
Yes! If I had to only have one beer on a desert island it would be this beer!

BC: Can you describe this beer in 10 words or less?
Brilliantly gold, spring flowers, zesty, crisp, snappy, floral, and refreshing.

BC: Do you know a story – or have a personal story – that revolves around this beer?
I love Pilsner. I have been brewing Pilsner my entire professional brewing career, never have I come across a style of beer that is thirst-quenching, dynamic, flavorful, and just so damn good. When we opened pFriem I was very excited to brew Pilsner, but at the time lagers were not all the rage like they are currently. My mind would have been blown if I new that pFriem Pilsner would become our flagship beer.

BC: What's a good food pairing for this beer?
Bratwurst, potato salad, grilled leeks, bacon, and Worcestershire vinaigrette.
