Cin cin! Italian Pilsner has been added!

Well, if Slovenian Pilsner is next to be added to the list, why not American Pilsner!?!

Cheers!

 

Why not both: American Pilsner and West Coast Pilsner. And then later East Coast Pilsner. And then…

Cheers!

 

I think we have to include West Coast Pilsner and just in case we see some stylistic deviation between San Diego and Seattle, maybe South, Central, and Northern variants. Vancouver probably needs a separate style notation since it's in Canada, but we have to make sure to differentiate it from the less aggressive Canadian pilsners native to Nova Scotia, too.

 

Would this be an opportunity to revisit some of these beers?

 

Yes and no. I might be interested in trying Pivo again, but I'm really not a fan of APAs masquerading as Pilsners.

 

Did you forget an emoji for this post?

Well if SNPA won as English Special Bitter this year...

 

Well how about the 'Canadian Pilsners' brewed by an American brewery? https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/37717/703785/

This is just one of 5 variants of this brewery's Big Yellow Truck Pilsner. Each uses some hop or grain from a country other than the US to help in the geographic portion of each beer's name, i.e. Big Yellow Zamboni, ...Bobsled, ...Surfboard, ...Vespa and ...Bullet Train. Categorized as German, Italian (just changed it), and American Lager.

 

There was an old image I remember posting when Itialian Pils first became a thing. It was from FW and it specifically stated the dry hop addition as “west coast” inspired contribution; not sure where that puts us…

Regardless of where one stands, it is hard to ignore that the term is still hanging on and quite prevalent, which I’m guessing contributed to its addition in the DB.

I would say to thank all the craft breweries around that started selling, and still sell, Italian Pilsners.

 

Very cool!

Hard job keeping up with all of this much appreciated to the BA team!

 

Gasping it's last breaths as far as I can tell. And we really don't need another niche IPA variant. I think we all learned our lesson with Brut IPA.

 

I was JUST about to mention Brut ipas.....the less 'sed the better.

So I retract that comment.

 

Is the category pronounced I-talian Pilsner or It-alian Pilsner?

 

Yes.

Cheers!

 

Just throwing in that both Tipopils and Via Emilia are delicious pils beers when consumed fresh, and I think the flavor profile of this type of beer is distinct enough from most German pils to warrant a separate classification. I'm all for this!

 

Sorry if this was addressed (but I’m not going back through 59 replies)
Recently found out FW Pivo Pils was an Italian Pilsner technically. Also that is uses Sapphire hops, which I don’t hear about often.
Generally not a big fan of the Italian pils style, but…
Pivo is one of my all-time favs that I grab whenever I see available.
