Why is it so hard to find a good pilsner beer? I'm not talking Budweiser either. I am talking the Bitburger, Pils Urquell's , etc. Every where I go shelves are loaded with ciders, IPA's, double IPA's, hef's and the sort but finding a good pilsner is like finding a needle in a haystack. List your favorite pilsners. I can find Bitburger at my Co-op, but it's the international edition and not the actual thing the you can get in germany. |

I've been a Stella Artois drinker for almost a decade...long before it started showing up here in the States. It is a spectacular beer.
I remember finding it in Canada in like...2006 maybe? Had a few too many, in my enthusiasm. 
Then it just started showing up in the States more and more, and now you can get it all over. I love it! Clean, crisp without being bitter, refreshing. |

Funny thing is beers like Budweiser are the same deal. The beer is so expensive to make that most craft brewers can't do it if they wanted to. Breweries like Bud, Miller, and Coors are incredibly efficient at what they do. I know a brewer at AB in Fort Collins. He says that it takes 21 days grain to packaging which is much longer than an ale. They brew a higher gravity beer and then dilute down to around 4.2% ABV (or 3.2% for gas stations & groceries in CO) for packaging. This allows their yield per time and space to be as high as possible. They also have incredible purchasing power for raw materials. So it's not really expensive for them to make it...Quite the contrary. From a raw material and labor perspective, ounce for ounce their finished, diluted beer is some of the cheapest to manufacture in the world. It's expensive when scaled down to a small brewery scale. |

When I say pilsner I mean Bavarian/Chech style. Pilsner Uriquios, Stella, HoffBrau, etc.
I'm going to skull fuck the next waiter that brings me "Belgian pilsner" made in Oregon. Tastes like a tea of oatmeal, lawnmower clipping and copper pennies. Always served too warm just to reinforce the piss quality. Stella! From the country in Europe. Ice cold in a chilled glass. Not from Oregon you fucktard! |

Classic German Pilsners are very light straw to golden in color. Head should be dense and rich. They are also well-hopped, brewed using Noble hops such has Saaz, Hallertauer, Hallertauer Mittelfrüh, Tettnanger, Styrian Goldings, Spalt, Perle, and Hersbrucker. These varieties exhibit a spicy herbal or floral aroma and flavor, often times a bit coarse on the palate, and distribute a flash of citrus-like zest--hop bitterness can be high.

They said it wasn't the temp requirements, it was the amount of time that it would occupy a fermentation tank and that it would cost to much to sell to make a ROI. It's about 80% duration (4 weeks is a short lager), 20% temperature. In my experience with making lager beers (which do include pilsners), I have to hog up my fermentation fridge for 4-6 weeks. If I have room in the beer fridge (bar equipment, 7' wide), I can finish off the last few weeks in there. Compare that to the blonde ale that I make at roughly the same ABV which takes five days to complete... Temperature only equates to cost. You can make an ale with little or no temperature control for several months out of the year because ales have a slightly wider range of temperatures to be fermented at, plus 65°-70° F is a pretty normal temperature to keep your facility at for comfort, which happens to be the temperature most ale yeasts operate at optimal efficiency. Lager yeasts typically require 45°-55° temperatures for a duration, plus two temperature changes for rests and flocculation. This requires the beer fermentation chamber to be chilled. When doing thousands of gallons at a time, this gets expensive, especially during the summer. This is partially where seasonal brews come about. In older times when magic temperature control wasn't so available, lagers were created in colder months, often served in the spring and early summer. Ales were brewed while it was warm, served in later summer, fall and early winter. Edit; Forgot to recommend a beer. If you can find Base Camp stuff, it's all lagers. They do make a pilsner too. I was pretty happy with Firestone Walker Hoppy PIls too. I gotta call the distributors in the morning to see what they have in kegs for me. It's time to swap out a few of my empties. |
