The Pilsner (Boonville, CA) – Anderson Valley Brewing Company (AVBC), a Northern California brewery renowned for its standout ales has announced the first nationwide release of a lager. Lagered for an almost unheard-of sixty days, Anderson Valley’s modestly named The Pilsner is a flavorful and complex 5.2% ABV German-Style Pilsner with a soft, crisp and clean character.
“The Pilsner pilot batch was one of the most beautiful, delicious beers I have tasted in a long time,” said AVBC President Kevin McGee. “When the brewing team came up with the idea to brew a German Pilsner, my initial reaction was why do we want to do a Pilsner? They’re temperamental and difficult to brew really well, take a lot of time, and tie up a lot of equipment. But then I tasted the first batch the team made and the ‘why’ became really clear.”
