Tasting Notes
BalancedPeppersnappy
2 Crows Brewing Co. was formed by husband and wife duo Mark and Kelly Huizink and brewmaster Jeremy Taylor. With an aim to get people thinking about craftsmanship, where their beer is coming from and the various characteristics that make beer memorable. 2 Crows has become a staple in the Nova Scotian craft beer scene, making one of the most wide arrays of beer styes in the province. From simple everyday lagers, to lush hop-bomb IPA’s, smoothie fruit sours, and an impressive range of barrel aged and mixed fermentation beer. 2 Crows literally has something for everyone.
Tasting Notes
Sal is one of the most refined and balanced Pilsners we sell, it’s got an incredible aroma of fresh grass, white pepper, and alpine herbs that lead into a snappy and refreshing palate. Italian Pilsners have this almost fluffy mouthfeel that’s different from Czech and German style Pilsners but all 3 styles share an effortless drinkability and great food-pairing attributes.
Method
Italian Pilsner, when talking in the context of craft beer, refers to a sub-style of Pilsner that was developed in the mid-90’s by Birrificio Italiano. The style takes a German style Pilsner, already known for its light body and drier more hop-forward character, and dials up the dry-hopping of noble hops even more. The resulting beer is very aromatic and has an almost fluffy texture.
Brewed with local Pilsner malt, hopped moderately in boil with local Tettnanger and Styrian Golding hops, fermented cool with a lovely German lager strain and judiciously dry hopped with more Styrian Golding hops, krausened and lagered forever.
