Lowercase Brewing New England Style West Coast Pilsner (Collab W/Black Raven)

5.8%

I’m sorry, what’s that now? What did you just say? This tasty abomination is part of a double release with our buds at Black Raven. We brewed a more “traditional” West Coast Pilsner at Black Raven and then they came to our little South Park brewery to brew a version that incorporated heaping amounts of oats and wheat in the grain bill. To clarify, the foundation of a west coast pilsner seems to be European hops on the hot side with American hops in the dry hop. We used Czech Saaz and Hallertau Mittelfruh on the hot side and then dry hopped with the Simcoe version of YCH 301, which is complete fucking wizardry out of Yakima. It’s unkilned fresh hops that have undergone the cryogenic pelletizing process in order to give us that fresh hop flavor year round (as long as the pellets are kept in a deeply frozen state until use). These are best enjoyed side by side.
