| Jon Chiusano and Jerrod Larsen looking like rock stars! |
Are you flippen kidding me? A German Pilsner brought to you by some award-winning brewers in one of OC’s newest breweries. Bearded Tang’s Ausflippen is the first lager of what will become many testaments on the brewing talents of Jon Chiusano and Jerrod Larsen. Combined, they both have earned well over a dozen medals from the Great American Beer Festival and World Beer Cup.
A German Pilsner (Pils) was Germany’s answer to the growing popularity of the Czech Pilsner. A bit of history on the styles (written for Orange Coast Magazine, March of 2020) can be found here. While the two are very similar, German Pils tend to be drier and have a sharper bitterness to them. Ausflippen is a wonderful example of the style.
The beer pours out golden in color with a thick cap of white foam. The nose is fantastic with aromas of mint, peppery lemon zest, and water crackers. On the palate, Ausflippen is crisp and wonderful. Notes of hay, spicy citrus, with a snappy yet refreshing bitterness. It drinks way too easy.
These guys are going to crush it in Stanton and will be a stand-out at the Rodeo 39 Public Market. This isn’t their first rodeo and Bearded Tang will be the talk of the “Rodeo” once the officially open for onsite consumption, slated for some time next week. Business partner Brandon Smith is hard at work making sure the operations run smoothly for everyone.
Order a crowler on-line or swing by once the official announcement of onsite is made. Check up on their social media for updates and for into on how to order.
