Had the kids up to make hot wings the other day. Pretty interesting mix of beers chosen. In the mix: Funkwerks Apricot Provincial, Crazy Mountain Snowcat Coffee Stout, Upsloap Craft Lager, Fort Collins Brewing Major Tom (the last ever), Anderson Valley Holy Gose Ale, Great Divide Yeti Imperial Stout, and SKA Brewing Mexican Logger.
Had another East vs West showdown from the Central City Red Racer Across The Nation Collaboration mixed pack last night, pitting the two lagers in the set – Wide Open Spaces Kellerbier (collab with Black Bridge) and Bouclier Canadien Pilsner (collab with Trou du Diable) – against each other. Both have a similar bready malt character, and a snappy body and finish suggesting that they were well lagered. The main differences lie with the aromas and flavours provided by the hops, with Wide Open Spaces having notes of orange blossom and lemon peel, while Bouclier Canadien had nice touches of lime leaf and mandarin peel. The former also appeared to be at least partly unfiltered, based on its slightly turbid appearance and yeasty tang to the finish. Both very fine lagers. . . . . . . #beer #craftbeer #beerphoto #craftbeerphoto #beerreview #craftbeerreview #hoppybeer #kellerbier #pilsner #lager #craftlager #collaborationbeer #centralcitybrewing #redracerbeer #blackbridgebrewery #troududiable #canada150
Lager Quest
So here’s the thing: alI I want to drink lately is malty lagers. So that’s what I am going to do. Because I am a grown up, I get to make my own damn decisions.
I started off my quest for lager perfection with Buoy’s Czech-style Pilsner. As we all know, Pilsen in Czechia is the birthplace of Pilsner. The golden colored lagers born in Bohemia went on to inform the world’s most popular brands. Hell, Budweiser stole its whole steez from a tiny brewery in Budvar – even the stupid “king of beers” thing.
Czech pilsner is distinguished from German pilsner – and American, I guess – in a few small ways. Czech pilsner is hoppier and the flavor comes from native Saaz hops. German pilsner tastes cleaner, more refined. Czech pilsners are boiled longer for a more caramelized fullness.
The brewers at Buoy got the hops right for sure. Saaz adds a spiciness, but also a subtle floral scent. The body is a perfect balance of fullness and balance. Buoy’s Pilsner isn’t as rustic as a Pilsner Urquell with it’s noticeable buttery flavor, but it’s definitely edgier than the perfectly coiffed northern versions.

Session
It seemed like two years ago, every brewery was suddenly falling over themselves trying to make a session IPA. Something both extremely hoppy and extremely light -- it turned out harder than it sounded. And somehow, consumers didn’t seem to jump on six-packs of light beer that still cost more than ten bucks. So session IPAs are fading. They still exist, but aren’t really the gamechanger they were billed as.
The new new thing is a very old thing: lager. It seems the issue with ISA wasn’t the lightness. Around town, more and more beer bars are devoting tap handles to new pilsners. Between the sour goses and the bruising barleywines you’ll find simple light lagers. It’s seems the people have spoken, and the people like beer that tastes like beer.
Deschutes finally jumped aboard the bandwagon last year with Pacific Wonderland a new pilsner-ish brew. It’s dry hopped with newer German variety, Tettnang Mandarina for a citrusy twist. It’s a really crisp refreshing brew. A little floral character on the nose, maybe a pinch of orange zest. Wonderland tastes hoppier than it’s German counterparts, but it’s a noble German flavor, grassy and fresh.
Pacific Wonderland is a tasty beer, and I can see myself drinking three of them in a way I could never imagine having three of the same IPA, even if it was under five percent alcohol.
The Simple Things
pFriem is dominating the shelves at our local New Seasons Market. Every week I see a new beer on display. Their simple label design makes it easy to swap out a few things and print a new batch without too much hassle. And they name every beer as simply as possible. No puns here. The IPA is an IPA and the Vienna Lager is a Vienna Lager. It’s a simple system.
Speaking of Vienna Lager, here’s a bottle of pFriem’s latest cold fermented brew. Vienna Lager is a close relative of Bavarian Helles. Both were invented within years of each other using newer malting techniques to make lighter colored beers. Vienna malt, the key ingredient in the lager, imparts a dry toasty flavor. A dash of hops for freshness and a clean fermentation make for a crisp beer style, which oddly found more traction in Mexico than it’s native Austria – see Dos Equis and Modelo Negra.
Oh, Tumblr...how I’ve neglected thee...but you are annoying with your bots. So I had a couple beers earlier. Some nice crisp lagers. I drank the Bungalow first. Its was crisp and had more bitterness than I expected, yet it was smooth. A touch rustic perhaps. Very good malt character. The Czechvar is a beer I used to crave about 12-15 years ago. Good beach beer if you’re beach is at 42 degrees latitude. The Czechvar was just fine, but didn’t come across as tasty as the Bungalow. I’m digging craft lager lately and will try and post more of it here. A little disappointed with the Czechvar I guess, Just not as bright as the local lager.
