Tasting Notes
BitterCrisprefreshing
From the folks behind arguably one of the city’s best beer bars, brewing and packaging at their new facility on Kempt Rd., Stillwell Brewing made its name fermenting and blending traditional oak-aged farmhouse ales but recently has focused its efforts on crafting staple styles for the home market, beers like Pils, Bitter and Kölsch. Top notch lagers and ales to enjoy with friends, or hog to yourself.
Tasting Notes
Stilly Pils is a 5% abv German-style pale lager that strives to be a balanced representation of it top-notch ingredients: German pils malt, water and noble hops. The beer is lively in the glass with a thick, dense foam delivering bright and fresh aromas to the nose. On the palate the beer is crisp and refreshing with a finish that can only be described as moreish.
Method
Stilly Pils is made in the traditional method using decoction mashing on Stillwell’s continental-style brewhouse. The beer is fermented under pressure, capturing the natural carbonation released in the cellar before being packaged carefully in cans and kegs. The brewery packages to order, so expect cans and kegs to always be fresh.
Our Thoughts
Crisp, clean, and crushable. With German pils you tend to get a softer, less “spicy” drinking experience than its Czech counterpart. Stillwell consistently make some of the best true to style beers around; when you can’t make it down to the HQ to have with a plate of Tokyo fries, I find the Stilly Pils goes best with a night on the couch with a big helping of nachos.
