PNW Lagers

Silver City Ziggy Zoggy is a take on zwickelbier, found in nearly any supermarket this time of year, and damn tasty. Another blue-canned lager in supermarket sixers is Crux' Pils.

Though it's been while, I enjoy Orlison's Havanüther, which is lighter pils, but has a nice, breadth middle to it.

 

Thanks for starting this thread @itracy63! Block 15 Gloria is my favorite locally available pilsner. HM's three fates is also worth checking out but it's a little pricey for He style and brewery only.

 

r & R, was not good. The only "r" I got out of it was the 'rRhea. Probably, thanks in part to rainier.

 

Havanüther has pretty much gone bye-bye, though it could pop up again as a limited summer seasonal. Only regular Orlison lagers these days are Clem's Gold and IPL (both in 12-ounce cans).

 

Yeah I've learned to appreciate light lagers and pils in the last few years as well. I especially enjoy how well these beers pair with food and warm weather.

 

Depends on the style
Light Lager..Hop Valley Light Me UP
Pale lager Full Sail Sesion Cerveza
Pils. Heater Allen and Deschutes Pine Mountain
Marzen Ninkasi Oktoberfest
Vienna pFriem Vienna
Hellerbock Heater Allen Lenzbock
Dortmunder.. Full Sail Session Export


and i could go on and omn

 

Serious? That's too bad. Oh well. Those tallboys were my local lager go-to a few years back, but at least now we have more options available.

 

I can't speak to their canned beers, because I haven't had any in much too long, but Occidental makes some terrific lagers, including a wonderful draft Edel-Hell.

I am also a big fan of Upright Engelberg Pilsner, which got me drinking pilseners again after I shunned the style for years.

Buoy makes a good pilsner too, and it's available in bottles.

The adventurous among you should try the excellent rauchbiers from Heater Allen, The Commons, and pFriem. They will make you a believer.

 

Chuckanut and Heater Allen are the PNW gold standards. Upright, Pfriem, Crux and Holy Mountain (current batch of cans finally sold out at the brewery) are all solid, and that Reubens/Rainier collab should not be ignored.

 

I always enjoy Lucky Envelope's Helles Lager.

 

Gold Beach Lager from Arch Rock. Fantastic Helles

 

Another vote for Arch Rock Gold Beach Lager & pFriem Pils.

 

I agree with pretty much everything that's already been said here which I've had the chance to try and also wanted to throw in Deluxe Brewing. I've only had a handful of their offerings but have enjoyed them thoroughly - Sintillator Doppelbock, Pure Sin Schwarz, Resurrection Pilsner, & Wild Beaver Amber Lager.

Cheers!

 

Have to say that the Full Sail Session Lager cans are very attractive..simple color scheme but good

 

I'm not hitting like for this because Havanüther was one of my favorite beers from them.

 

If you get over to Spokane and enjoy an IPL, try the one from Perry Street. Used to be a seasonal, but after winning gold for it at GABF, it's pretty much available year round now.
