Brewed to celebrate the 150th anniversary of our family farm, 1874 Pils was brewed with 100% Riggs grown grain and 100% Illinois grown hops. It’s a bold American Pilsner. A robust grain body carries this pilsner’s formidable hop charge. Our use of locally grown Mackinac and Crystal hops does something special in this beer. The hop character is almost noble and Germanic, with a pleasant hint of melon.

A: Pours a brilliantly clear golden/yellow color. A dense white head forms with good retention and lace left behind.
S: Light grains, toasted malts, grassy hops and a light fruity hops mingle. Which is all enjoyable.
T: Follows the nose with a nice toasted bread, malty, and light grainy character. That leads to a grassy, lemon hop, fruity hop character. With a substantial lingering bitterness.
M/O: A light to medium body. Super crisp and clean, that finishes dry. Really easy to drink. This is very nice.
Riggs is flexing their local muscles here. They either grow or source everything locally. Which makes for an overall really well done American lager. That I hope to see more often.
