New Glarus Home Town Blonde

On Dan's recommendation, picked up a six-pack. Not a fan of Pilsners, but this one is the best I've ever had.

 

Been loving pilsners lately. Glad to see this... I might have drank stag horn exclusively and overlooked this while it was available.

 

Just had my first tonight - loved it. I am on my 3rd now - it is sliding so nicely that I just might finish off the 6-er.

 

Hmmm... Just finished all of my Capital pilsners, may have to buy a couple of these.

 

I really like home town blonde. Need to clear out some room in the fridge, but once I do, I'll be buying some more.

 

I had a sample of it at the great taste. One of my favorite styles well done by my favorite brewery. I'll be drinking it by the bucket this fall.

 

I've really been enjoying this beer. Its not quite on the same level as the glorious Bohemian Pilsner that was done as an unplugged back in 08/09, but its getting there.

Great toasted / grainy pilsner malt character, a nice balanced bitterness, big herbal / earthy hop character, super clear fermentation, just about the perfect warm weather American pilsner.

Dan is convinced it won't sell that well, but as it is his favorite beer at the moment I've got a feeling we will be seeing it around in the future.

Cheers!

 

Drinking one now... Glorious. Thanks for being vocal about this one dudes!

 

Hometown Blonde is a fantastic German Pilsner! Honestly one of the first Pilsners that I have ever enjoyed drinking.

 

Its not an american pilsner...Its a german Pilsner

 

its also listed as a german pilsner on this site. And dan learned how to brew in germany, so alot of his beer have that german influence to them.

 

Yeah I agree.

 

Just got around to trying one tonight. Great German Pils. I will be picking up more of this.

 

I liked it, but I didn't think it was near as good as the Bohemian Lager was from a few years back. Honestly, I like 2 Women Lager better as well, and Yokel too, but it is a very good beer. Seemed to get better the more I drank, the first few drinks I was kinda "meh", but by the end I had liked it.

 

Bohemian Lager was a phenomenal beer, sorely wish they would revisit that one.

Two Women when it was a 500ml was fantastic, in the 6 packs not so much.

I really like Hometown Blonde, next time I'm up in WI (or I have friends / family headed up that way), I'll be picking up more for sure.

Cheers!

 

I just compared them all because they are all New Glarus lagers and it was all my opinion on how much I liked them. No devious plot behind it or mal-wishes intended, just a statement of my opinions (still OK on the forum right?).

Yes, it's great to have choices and it's great to have New Glarus, a brewery of which I am a huge fan of their beers.

And I have had many a lager that blew me away the first few drinks, but this one had to kind of grow on me.
