Beginning its life as Sun Medallion, a collaboration with Bearded Tang’s Jon Chiusano, Stereo Pils is a Czech-Style Pilsner that has evolved to be individual and distinct from its first incarnation. This wonderful lager was gained popularity as a draught-only refreshing beer and quickly a crowd and staff favorite at Placentia’s Stereo Brewing. To our delight, Stereo Pils is available in 16oz canned 4-packs to-go for the first time!
The Czech or Bohemian Pilsner style is the lager that influenced (but is not the same as) other pale lagers including German Pils and the American Light Lager. More on the history of Pilsner here. Stereo Pils shows off the marvelous uplifting quality of the style.
Golden in color and brilliantly clear with no chill-haze at all. Zippy, snappy, crisp, purfumy, and rejuvenating. Brewed using 100% floor malted Bohemian Pilsner malt, only Saaz hops, and a clean lager profile to allow the ingredients to shine. A dried cereal malt backbone with lemony, spicy hop aromas laying atop a pillowy cap of foam. Flavors of hay, cut grass, lemon zest, and a round bitter bite on the finish.
