Mills Brewing Pils - The Beerhive

... More

around ten days open fermentation in our coolship, the young beer is transfered to large oak casks for a secondary fermentation and lagering period with our indigenous wild yeast and bacteria, until warmer months. The long winter lagering naturally clarifies the beer as it matures.

Finally, the beer is dry-hopped with whole-leaf hops and bottle conditioned for several months before release. The beer is packaged in heavyweight 330 ml amber bottles.

This first batch of Pils underwent primary fermentation in December 2023 and was bottled in July of this year. Ten months from brew to release. The finished beer is exceedingly light, fresh, effervescent and hoppy, with aromas of cut-grass, flowers, and subtle funk. The palate is dry, medium bodied, and cleans off with an assertive bitter snap. Cheers,
