Summer’s coming and American craft brewers are addressing the warming weather with an intriguing roster of refreshing lagers you’re gonna want to have around as things heat up.
German-Inspired & Colorado Crafted (Denver, CO) – Prost Brewing is an award-winning craft brewery renowned for honoring German brewing traditions, from sourcing high quality ingredients to brewing authentic, classic styles. Even their name has German influences with “prost” being German for “Cheers!” And their approach to one historical style in particular, is genius.
Crafted to combine the wisdom of traditional brewing practices with modern ingredients and brewing principles, Prost Pilsner is a 4.9% ABV year-round release with an approachable opulence that showcases a stunning balance of the finest German malts and noble hops.

Pilsner-Perfect (Boonville, CA) – Anderson Valley Brewing, a Northern California brewery renowned for its standout ales, introduced a lager last year that’s become an ACB fav. 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, clean, and delicious 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.”
A Chil Pils Without The Calories (Toronta, Ca) – With more craft breweries than ever before, brewing serious non-alcoholic beer, ACB is expanding our coverage to include new NA beers that matter. And Partake Brewing has a new small-batch seasonal that totally matters. Brewed with all natural ingredients to delivers layers of flavors but not the calories that sometimes comes with them. Partake Pils is an intensely aromatic 25-calorie refresher bursting with crispy hop tang.
“Pils stands out as a highly sought-after style, and we strive to satisfy,” said Evan Cohen, CCO and President of Partake Brewing, “Leveraging our expertise, we’ve crafted a low-calorie, non-alcoholic rendition of this style that remains true to the classic Pilsner style. Partake remains committed to crafting distinctive beer styles using a proprietary non-alcoholic method, striving for the lowest calorie count possible.”
