PICK UP TRUCK PILSNER 

(formerly King Pilsner)

~ THORNBURY BEVERAGE COMPANY~

Pickup truck Pilsner is the re branded King Pilsner.  It is billed as ‘an authentic Czech-style Pils Lager brewed with only 100% imported Bohemian malts, Saaz hops and a true strain of Czech yeast.’

The beer pours a clear golden colour with a frothy white foam.  The nose contains bready sweetness, grass, hops and a little malt.  The beer is clean and crisp.  Malts begin with a sweet graininess, and the Saaz hops finish with a pleasant bitterness.   A good simple Czech-style pilsner - easy drinking, great Bar-b-q beverage on a hot summer day.

CHAMPION PILSNER ~ BIG RIG

Champion Big Rig Pilsner won the Gold at the 2013 Ontario Brewing Awards in the European Style Lager category (King Pilsner came second and Steam Whistle third.)

It pours golden coppery colour with a thin white head.  It has a light beginning with biscuit and grassy notes but an assertive bitterness at the end and a slight funky aftertaste.  Resiny hops stand out. A palatable brew but nothing to write home about.
