Tasting Notes
CitrusCrispherbal
Starting as a home brewing passion project for owner Patrice Daigle back in the 2010’s, and after years of perfecting his craft and generating interest around New Brunswick, Patrice decided to open O’Creek brewing in Dieppe in 2021.
Since then O’Creek has become one of the most talked about and sought after craft breweries to open in New Brunswick. Patrice focuses on richly aromatic and vibrant hoppy beers, but is also recently diving into the world of Czech lager after a trip to Czechia.
Method
Hop-forward lagers are nothing new, but a new thread is emerging that more intentionally marries the great drinkability of a pilsner with the expressive hopping of a West Coast IPA. More often than not, West Coast Pilsners are a carbon copy of the classic Czech or German style pilsner, only instead of using noble Czech or German style hops, these use American hop varieties such as Cascade, Citra, or Simcoe to provide cut, bitterness, and herbal citrus that the American hops are known for.
