Pilsner pursuit

[JCastle1]

Some semi-ignorant questions incoming from a pilsner fan that doesn't actually know much about brewing. I am wondering what is up with really short period lagering? What exactly is being achieved? My understanding is a lot of lagers take a long time to finish given the cold fermentation process. What is allowing for some breweries to finish a beer very quickly? For example, this mumford pilsner that was lagered for three days. Are they just covering up a poorly executed base beer with a bunch of non-traditional hopping?

Says "pilsner by name", I'm guessing they used a German ale yeast fermented at cold temperatures. You can get away with the short lagering with those.

Gor the record. Some people are still abusing the style and producing absolutley **** versions.

This sucked

 

[rrrjjj]

That looks like it sucked

I have been drinking more pilsners lately. I really like Prima Pils and Pivo Pils. Any others out there that are easy to get (shelf)?

Ayinger Bavarian Pilsner and Pilsner Urquel are two that I grab frequently from the shelves.

And if your able to trade or seek out any Suarez Family beers.... Palatine and Qualify Pils are absolutely phenomenal.

Still haven't been able to track down any Ayinger Bavarian Pils. So bummed about this.

I haven't had it in a while but it was one of my go-tos when I lived in Germany. Pilsner selection is seriously lame here.

Really good stuff. Carbonation is less prominent than most American pils. Wonderful malt complexity and a hint of balancing hops. One of the better domestic pilsners I've had.

This did not suck. Damn good.

Holy **** that glass is spectacular

Great article but "pudding smooth" is a strange way to describe a liquid.

Damn, it was a good run while it lasted, guys. Cue my parents asking me about unfiltered lagers next time I am home.

I'll try to send you some zwickel pils once I get this operation off the ground. Pilot batches so far have tasted pretty good.

Is pudding lager the new pastry stout?

 

[BadJustin]

Anyone have the Founders Solid Gold yet?

 

[BadJustin]

Well that was good timing. LBS just posted 15 packs of Solid Gold, will report back.

 

[BadJustin]

Didn’t make it to the store but this is the bet beer i had in 2017. Srs.


Yes that’s a frosted Chicago Bears mug. Go **** yourself.

Best Brewery in NY by a mile, although I prefer Qualify Pils to Palatine.

Skipping over the other parts (to avoid suarez jealousy). Had solid gold a couple times this weekend. It's totally solid but a) nothing outstanding, and b) probably not a pilsner. Tastes like a slightly cleaner Schlitz to me, with the touch of honey maltiness. Very well worth the buy though, especially if it's priced as well as it is here

Def not a pils. Just some boring ass light lager with a little corn flavor. Would not bang again.

Sounds delicious. Are they doing decoction mashing?

Dovetail Pilsner is the best locally, imho. Half Acre Southern Range was great, more of a new-school hoppy lager though.
New Glarus does some great ones now and then. Unplugged Bohemian Lager killed, but that was 10 years ago now.
Got to try Palatine Pils and Rothaus Pils recently, both were very solid.

I have been craving a Pilsner for my kegerator and I’m so close to brewing one again for summer. Sooooo close. Haven’t brewed in years I’m that desperate.

 

[MooltiPass]

Looks like Threes is going to start contract brewing their very good pilsner Vliet at Industrial Arts due to demand being so high. A pilsner being the crowd favorite is something that makes me happy. Especially if it makes it easier for me to snag a few cans whenever I visit friends in Brooklyn.

I haven't in quite some time either. Going to use my kegerator to lager a kolsh or something soooooon.
