TBR - Tim's Blue Ribbon (Premium American Lager)

**TimBrewz** · 04-13-2008, 02:45 PM

So I brewed this New Year's Day for a fishing trip that never happened-but it won a "Blue Ribbon" at Slurp and Burp here in the Portland OR area. Thought I'd share it. It tastes most like a Harp lager or a more refined and heavier Pabst Blue Ribbon. It's basically Jamil Zainasheff's Blonde Ale recipe from BYO Jan/Feb 08 brewed with lager yeast.

Tim, that looks great! If you could post it in the recipe database, here: http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f57/

it'll make it appear in a drop down under your name.

Thanks for sharing your recipe!
