Pilsners!

either you are seeing things or they brought like a case back to sell.

 

My favorites:

Noble Pils (if you can find it)
Sierra Nevada Summerfest
Six Point The Crisp
Victory Prima Pils
Laguinitas Czech Pils

 

The Crisp is not a pilsener.

 

It has been said before but another vote for Sly Fox...That is my favorite. Also really like Oskar Blues Mama's Little Yella Pils

 

Start campaigning for a re-brew, it was dead-on for an old-fashioned, barrel lagered Czech Pils.

 

What about Scrimshaw? I found that one rather lovely.

 

There's still alot in the 'burbs...
A Northeast hidden gem is Berkshire's Czech Pilsner...sublime on draft

 

kenzinger is not a pilsner.

And if you are going to go local and drink a Kolsch, Stoudt's makes a much better one.

The one thing Kenzinger does have going for it is it's cheap (under $30 a case) and widely available. Most Philly bars with a little craft in them has this on tap. It's a great beer for what it is, and the price, but certainly not the "best".

 

The ones I picked up this weekend were already 5 weeks old... but tasting fresh for sure...

 

Kinda sad that a summer seasonal is 5 weeks old in April...

 

I have yet to see noble pils make its comeback at the stores I have looked at...

And I believe Berkshire pilsner is a seasonal - which comes out late spring/early summer? Maibock is their seasonal right now - which is usually pretty good too despite being on the sweet side.

 

“It has been said before but another vote for Sly Fox...” I will ‘vote’ for Sly Fox Pikeland Pils too. It is great in the cans but even ‘better’ fresh on draft.

If you can get to the Sly Fox Brewpub in Phoenixville, PA they have the Pilsner available on draft in unfiltered form. They call it Keller Pils.

Pikeland Pils is brewed with imported malt and imported hops:

“Gold Medal GABF 2007, 2000 | Bronze Medal, GABF 2003

A Northern German style Pilsner brewed with imported German Pils malt and hopped with German and Czech hops. Light in body, light straw in color and dry.”

A description of the Keller Pils:

“Keller Pils

By public demand, an unfiltered version of our award-winning Pikeland Pils straight out of the beer cellar occasionally appears on tap. A Northern German style Pilsner brewed with imported German Pils malt and hopped with German and Czech hops. Light in body, light straw in color, dry and UNFILTERED.

11.7 OG | 44 IBUs | 4.9% ABV

On tap @: Phoenixville”

I had a Sly Fox Pikeland Pils and a Victory Braumeister Pils at XFINTY Live after yesterday’s Phillies games. They were both excellent Pilsners; enjoyable on a warm spring afternoon at the Victory Beer Hall.

Cheers!

 

Still? Get the word out, Noble Pils is year-round now (OTOH, Alpine Spring is seasonal).

 

It's taking its time here in the Midwest too, but I'm starting to see it with more regularity.

 

Oh, that's news to me. What is it?

 

Awesome point. I totally missed BBC's Czech Pils. I love that one.

 

Meaning, many places have been sold out but you can still find some of the "old" batch around...

 

Just a sort of frankenstein-like pale lager.

 

Interesting. Well then I love Frankenstein-like pale lagers!

 

You are correct sir - BBC website says the Czech Pils comes out in July/Aug...I pray to the Gods every night for this to be a year-round offering.
I also agree with your opinion of the maibock (I have similar criticism of the O-Fest).
