The blistering heat of summer amplifies the crucial role that beer plays as both a recreational and practical beverage, as the 19th century Bohemian brewers who developed the pilsner knew well. This light lager style of beer was ideally suited to sustain farm workers during the punishing summer climate of what is today the Czech Republic, by combining light malts, subtle Noble hops, and a high ratio of life giving water-to-alcohol. Similarly, pilsner beer fuels many a lawnmower and gardener all over the world today, and just as many keg parties.
Troegs Sunshine Pils is a hand-crafted take on a style that has become the basis of the macro beer industry.This effervescent potion is light and subtle, with a slight hop finish of freshly cut grass. Best enjoyed in large libations, what this pilsner lacks in intensity of flavor, it makes up for in intense drinkability. Perfect suited to quench the thirst after athletic feats or outdoor labor, the moderate session will hydrate, while the heavy binge will mildly intoxicate. If you haven't already made the leap from the beers with the huge advertising budgets, this is a great stepping stone to the world of craft.
