    Chuckanut Pilsner not on list, but is arguably the best American brewed Pils.

    I am guessing you voted "other"?:astonished:

    That was the 'lever' that I pulled.

    Cheers!

    Actually, I voted "other" because it was the majority. I hate being different than everybody else. I clearly seek approval from the herd.:wink:

    My understanding is that it is a new year-round beer.

    Cheers!

    Been awhile since I've had a great pils but gonna keep a lookout for some fresh Sunshine. So glad it's starting to become pilsner weather again!

    Cheers!

    The troegs was mentioned when some was responding to me. Thats why i wrote i havent had a SINGLE beer (a single beer means all there beers i have tried to date) that i really liked at all except ( meaning im leaving this beer out from the rest) was ok Perpectual. I dont like Treogs Sunshine Pils. This the great thing about beer everyone has different perosnally opinions on beer that very from each person. Im not goingot beat soem one up that doesnt like a sour or DIPA.

    As i stated above i do Like Two Roads Ol' Factory Pils. Im gonna try Prima Pils, since that victory and you never could go wrong with them just a matter of finding it in my area.

    It's not a sexy style right now that's for sure, and even the best and the best here is completely subjective might break 90 in the ratings. So is that 90 being compared to the style or is it being compared to how well the reviewer likes Zombie Dust or Heady Topper? Surely within a style there are some thst stand apart and could / should push that 100 mark, but they don't. Even some of the higher rated German efforts are in the high 80s, so there's a bias here. Sunshine is around in places try it on tap, just fairly rate them within their style limits, if you pass that's fine, there's popular beers and styles I don't like too.

    My favorite and go to pilsner is Rothaus. When I go to a bar that has it, it's hard for me to order something else, regardless of what's on draft. It is just a joyful beer.

    I would argue that craft pilsners are a hot style right now. You see lots of breweries recently adding one to their portfolio as either a seasonal or year-round. That's because both BMC drinkers, new craft drinkers, and beer geeks all can enjoy them. They're nuanced and refreshing if made well, and also sessionable around 5%.
