Schell's Pils Retired?

You know what they say about assuming things...

 

Looks like Fort Road Helles aint going anywhere.

 

You're burying the lead... IPA??? IPA??? Lordy, lordy... is nothing sacred anymore?

Besides, being included in a sample pack is no guarantee of anything:

 

That Landbier was great! Hope they bring it back once in a while.

FWIW, the last batch of Pils hit the shelves a while ago, and there’s a good few months left to enjoy it (or maybe even hoard it):

 

Looks like Schell's Keller Pils has hit stores! I'll be picking up some and doing a side by side with Summit Keller Pils for, like, science. And my belly.

 

I had a couple Schell's Keller Pils over the weekend. Excellent beer.

 

Agreed. I definitely like this more than their old Pils. It will be a regular in my fridge. I guess sometimes change is good.

 

I seen this in the store and can't wait to try one.

I picked the wrong Lent to quit drinking.

 

Yes this new Keller Pils is pretty good. It does have a little more fruit flavor than the previous version for sure.

 

I quite enjoy the new Keller Pils. More so than the Summit for me.. But I enjoyed the last batch more than Summit's as well. Glad to see it back, like T&A, can't go wrong with either.

 

It's a great KP, and different enough from the Summit KP. It's fantastic that they are both available year round now.

 

Very good beer. I would still put Fair State Keller Kazbek and Summit's over this personally. Utepils has a good version too.

I wouldn't complain about having any these beers though.

 

Totally agree - FS Keller Kazbek is fantastic, as is the Keller Pils from Utepils. I had the Saphir dry hopped Pils from Venn yesterday and, although it's a different style, found it very enjoyable. I think Venn has quietly become one of the best Minnesota breweries situated along a light rail line with a patio on the east side of the building that also allows dogs.

 

Schell vs Summit KP? barely comparable there so different. I think Summit is better especially in cooler weather but Schell might be better when it's hot and humid.

 

Not sure if it has been mentioned in this thread - but the hop presence is definitely there, I am getting a little floral. Do we know what hops they are using?

 

Somebody mentioned quite sometime ago the quality of lagers we have here...? Not sure who it was. Might be @ZAP?

 

Their site mentions Callista hops. Not sure what else though....?

 

I finally got around to trying the Keller Pils.

Here is my NBS post.

I didn't do a side by side (maybe later...), but my impression is the Schell's is a more "Americanized" kellerbier than is the Summit. Anyway, I liked it.
