    As of April, the best distributor in the area couldn't get it in cans.

    Edited to add: Not trying to prove you wrong, just showing what we see locally. Would enjoy getting my hands on some Lazy River cans.

    LOL! :grin:

    Beers that are actually Pilsners have plenty of flavor.

    I do not begrudge New Trail for producing this sort of beer. Really no need to categorize it as a Pilsner though, since it isn't.

    Cheers!

    Wacker Brewing (Lancaster) makes a nice Pilsner.

    Cheers!

    I don’t know if you guys get double nickel but their pils is top notch and it’s very affordable. I’ve been buying almost nonstop since Covid. Actually doing curbside to pick up more since I ran out last week.

    I've been a big fan of Camp Pils since day one. If the worst I do at EG is drink that and Hell Yes, I'm doing okay.

    I like Fluffhead too, but my wife and I are Hefe fans. And Sorbetto was fantastic and greatly exceeded my expectations.

    I just checked and I have and gave it a good score, maybe I’ll revisit that one.

    From one Ultraman to another... are they packaging that one for retail? I recall liking it when visiting the brewery a few years back.

    Like he often does, the old man got distracted :wink: and forgot to answer the question. Yes they are canning Camp Pils in 16oz cans.

    Yep, bought the entire season on DVD for $9 a few years back.

    Keeping on topic, I'm adding the word "pilsner"...

    There are plenty of great ones, but Troegs Sunshine pils and Wacker bohemian pils jump to mind

    Well I ran into these beauties today. Might have bought them too soon to take tubing on the 4th. We will see how my patience is the next three weeks.

    Good luck, but I think you're going to be making another beer run :wink:.

    I got a sixer of the Kolsch last weekend and it didn't last the week :slight_smile:.

    Haha probably true. Especially with the 90+ degree weather hitting here this weekend.

    Well that looks awesome. I can't think of one brewery here in southeast PA that sells an all-lager variety pack, which is a pity considering the history of this area.

    Does anyone know if COVID has caused root down to distribute around philly at all? I’ve always wanted to try their pils but going to Phoenixville to get beer isn’t realistic for me too far of a drive.
