Since we emptied the beer cooler for Lunar Rendezbrew 29, we have a nice opportunity to knock out some lagered beers. So we jumped into this German Pilsner. We are hoping for nice clean golden German flavor.
(5 gallon batch)
Update: This brew took first place out of 19 entries in the Alamo City Cerveza Fest competition. It scored a 41. It also took second at O’Zapft German Festival with a score of 40.
