This Czech style Pilsner and camper vans both represent our spirit of adventure – an old-school pairing that never goes out of style. However, our founders’ 1979 VW may have received a few cosmetic upgrades in this label.

16 ounce can from the brewery (after having on tap there) - packaged December 16, 2025, so about 3 months old.
Pours a bright clear golden colour with two fingers of frothy dense white head with some fine lacing in dimpled mug.
Bready slightly grainy malt, hints of honey and honeysuckle on the nose.
Sweet doughy, bready malt on the palate, again notes of honey, some floral character leading to a slightly spicy herbal bitterness.
Solid medium mouthfeel with bright carbonation and a firm satisfying lingering bitterness. Very much enjoyed on tap and certainly not worse if not better from the can.
