Is that the RPM 69 they had pouring at various events over the past year (most recently I tried it at Brewpub Shootout) or a totally different Pils?

Not sure, I think it's different. I know they had a beer they specifically called Rev Pils out in Sept/Oct '15.

Funny this comes up now; I've been trying to grab singles of pilsners lately whenever I see them to find a good one. I just keep going back to Pivo.

I have gotten major pilsner erections over the past year with my tops being from The Commons, Pfriem, and Occidental.
HOWEVER. I had a 2nd Shift Technical Ecstasy at a bottle share that almost made me cry. Does anyone know more about this beer? Is it bottled regularly? Do the brew it often?

I need to check this one out.

I just hope it wasn't a one time thing, because I will spend all the monies acquiring it. A top 3 pilsner in my life.

Will vouch for this, that was a standout in a stellar line up! Pretty amazing with it being a Czech Pils, normally they are middle of the pack with so many other bold beers!

Wasn't it some crazy low bottle count, like x/54? And who knows how good it is now

Had this last night for the first time, a very nice American/sorta-hoppy pils. Could easily drink a lot of it.

That beer was fantastic. I'm pretty sure they will be brewing it again, but last year was the first time they did. I think it will be a seasonal going forward. I just wish it was in 6 packs.
Also their website is awesomely weird http://www.2ndshiftbrewing.com/

Piling on...Yes, Technical Ecstasy was fantastic. Can't wait to get it again.
No one trade for 2nd Shift though, k?

After some research Technical Ecstasy is coming back "Late Spring" so maybe the middle of April. If anyone wants some I should be able to grab you a couple bottles.

Heater Allen Pils is now in 4 packs! They're 12oz bottles, not cans, but still... exciting!!! $8, which is cheaper per oz than their bombers.

Finally having my first STS Pils, compliments of coldstorage
Damn, this beer is stellar. Amazing how many styles RR just nails.
One of my top 3 new Pils this year for sure. Ever since I had STiVO Pils at FWIBF, I knew I needed to try this one.
For maximum triggering here is that list:
- Rothaus
- STS
- Satan is Real

^Yeah that was a ripper that leftoverburrito sent me and I look forward to nabbing some bottles of in a few weeks when im out that way.
I said new Pilsners I've tried this year and since I've never tried Reality Czeck, it can't make the list coldpilsner^NO REALITY CZECK?!
Pilsner Urquell from the wooden barrels was pretty interesting.
Also a big fan of Freistädter Junghopfenpils. Krautheimer, Augustiner, and Fürstlich Fürstenbergische are good too. The bigger German brands (Warsteiner, Jever, König, Oettinger, even Becks) are all solid if you can get them fresh. Most people look down on Oettinger for being mass-produced but it got second place after Jever in a blind tasting we did of the big brands. Can't stand Löwenbräu though, always has a metallic taste to me.

If you're trading with somebody from Texas and like hops, ask for Real Ale Hans Pils. It's soooo good. I like it more than Live Oak Pilz and that's saying a lot.
Also, apparently it pairs well with Reubens according to the brewery itself.

Also, it's canned. Available in 12-packs. And pretty dirt cheap (it's about $14/12-pack).

Had Slow Pour Pils from Bierstadt Lagerhaus last night and it was fantastic.
Enjoying one of my favorites thanks to lambandtunaphish this evening: Von Trapp Bohemian Pils.

Hans tastes like a hoppier version of Pivo to me (without being some IPL nonsense). Great stuff!

Pilsners? Seriously? Can you even add adjuncts to those? Enjoy your Bud Light!

And Rothaus???
Favorite German pilsners are: Rothaus, Gänstaller, Neumarkter Lammsbrau, these are the 3 I regularly buy. Couple other great ones I have had, but can't think of them right now.
US pilsners: Upright, Heater Allen, pFreim
Rothaus is good but not my favorite. It has a sweeter and fruitier profile than most pils. For a similar beer at 1/2 the price I prefer Tegernsee Hell.

Great beer, but not a pilsner
I know but it tastes similar! I think they both have a sorta strawberry-ish sweetness to them.Great beer, but not a pilsner

The Neumarkter and Pinkus, both organic pilsners and found at every organic supermarket (Bioladen), are both excellent!

When I order a regular pilsner at a bar , it's mostly this one.
