Troubles End Brewing

It's been nearly 200 moons since our brewer Zach's life changed forever upon meeting his platonic life partner Chris, a haphazard relationship that has crossed political, geographic, and sometimes spiritual boundaries. Together they inspire one another to delve deeper in their respective crafts and stimulate curiosities in all realms of the beverage and culinary arts. As the manager of Le Virtu, Chris has supported our humble little brewery since the beginning, offering our beers to the folks of south Philly while they feast on the best Abruzzese cuisine outside of Italy. It just makes sense we collaborated on an Italian Pilsner, an incredibly floral lager perfectly paired with Le Virtu's classic single-strand pasta, Maccheroni alla Mugnaia. With a single decoction of all Pilsner malt to highlight the sweet grain flavors and dry hopped with German Saphir this beer is what Zach and Chris have always dreamed of. As the path turns it's clear honeysuckle are blooming but they remain unseen hidden in the dense forest of tall slender Cypress trees, one of which casts a long matchstick-thin shadow over a copper sundial with a fine patina. "Don't slip on the skins," a warning from the person carving tropical fruits into ornate and distinct shapes to adorn a tray of canele as a nearby machine slowly churns ephemeral gelato sweetened with apples from a far away land.
