Pilsner pursuit

Half Acre Fader and Dovetail Pils FTW

This might be a silly question, but I'll ask anyway: what's the "shelf life" of a can/bottle of Pilsner? I'm under the impression that Pilsner is more like a saison, and less like an IPA with regard to how quickly it should be consumed. That said, I've had saisons with 3+ years on them. I know there's no right answer here, but any thoughts?

I've heard within four to six months, ideally. Oxidative character doesn't do any favors to pilsner/lagers. I'm sure there are exceptions, but especially if it's a hoppy pils, the fresher the better.

Was gonna say the same. Some labels say 9-12 months but one of the Budweiser* guys told me he likes to drink it between 2-5 months.

edit: *Czech Budweiser

That sounds ******* magical.

Went to Chuckanut after a hike up to Oyster Dome whilst honeymooning in the PNW a couple weeks ago. One of the best decisions we made during our time up there. The Pils and Helles were perfect with the BBQ chicken pizza. Chuckanut is officially a perma-want.

I can send you a growler from moonlight that will probably have a better fill than I could do at an undisclosed park in Novato. Hit me with them deets and ill fire off next monday?

My pal from Henhouse grabbed a few sixtels from there and is bringing his jockey box too. Gonna be living that ultra luxurious co2 lifestyle tomorrow. I wonder what Sunday brunch is like in jail?

Hyper crisp, cans will pair excellently with yard work

Just a fantastic Pilsner.

Brew Gentlemen's first foray into lagering... What a time to be alive. Going back tonight to fill a 2L.

so much cool old industrial equipment.....


love the 'beer processing' setup they have.

 

[rrrjjj]

Daydreaming about this beer. Really realllly should've picked up more.

Brewer's Art is hit or (mostly) miss, but I'm digging this. Has a touch of their "house" character, but a solid Czech-style Pils.

Or maybe I just like it because I'm telling myself they brewed it to commemorate the back-to-back Stanley Cup Champion Pittsburgh Penguins.

Just dropped my fiance off at the airport. She's out of the country for 13 days.

Tomorrow I plan on watching football, wearing my robe and slippers, whilst killing these.
