Winter 2021 Edition – Bohemian Pilsner Style Lager Beer
Nick Gislason and Jennifer Angelosante
The Grains:
We used a classic variety of barley called Bojos (pronounced boh-yos) sourced from Pivovar Ferdinand, an old-fashioned combined brewery and malthouse near Prague, which is a rarity these days! Historically, brewers sourced their own grains directly from farmers, sprouted (malted) them in-house, and then brewed with them, whereas today the tasks of brewing and malting are often segregated into specialized companies. Thanks to this integrated approach, Pivovar Ferdinand is producing some of the most delicious malted barley that we’ve worked with.
The Beer:
Our Winter 2021 offering is a classic example of the pleasures that the Pilsner style can afford: an inviting richness and palate weight that is balanced by a vibrant freshness and long, lifted finish. Bright cereal grains dominate the aromas, with an herbal mintiness from the hops, and a wet stones minerality that brings focus.
