    One of my faves but I didn't mention it because I didn't "discover" it this year.

    That would be my surprise of the year as well.

    Yeah- I got their Sunshine Sampler mostly for the 1872 Lager (another winner, btw), and figured the other beers would be 'nice' and just keep things interesting. I still remember when I had that Pilsner for the first time, and it was way better than what I expected- it kind of felt like hitting the jackpot. I guess that's why we do what we do, trying new breweries and all that (well, old ones in this case :wink:), those kinds of moments make it all worth while.

    I hope they do the same thing next year- I'm definitely down for another case if they do.

    I think you'll see it again. (There's been some new things going on there the last couple of years.)

    I enjoyed them all but my fav was the Hefeweizen.

    This post makes me feel really lucky with the Pilsners I can get. I don't drink a ton of Pils but everyone of the beers you listed that I have tried is great and I would not pass up!

    Sixpoint The Crisp has become my favorite pilsner and the one I return to the most. I recenlty had a SA Noble Pils after a long stretch without. Still dig it.

    Mine was SN Summerfest by a long shot, though I'm not a huge Pils drinker and haven't diversified my Pils portfolio a great deal.

    Honorable mention goes to Full Sail's LTD Series #3: Bohemian Pilsner. A really enjoyable Pils that's also priced right (often found for $6.50 a sixer). Full Sail is generally overlooked, but produces some solid lagers.

    And now for an off-topic, opinionated rant: I think OB Mamas Lil Yella really stinks, and OB could do much better.

    The Beer Camp FW Torpedo Pils really changed my mind about this style!

    Same as last year, Urquell in a bottle and Paulaner on tap.

    I will second the SN Beer Camp Torpedo Pils love. It is the reason I am currently exploring the style again. So far after that one the Victory Prima Pils has been my favorite.

    Wouldn't you call the current version a schwarzbier?
