Hey there and welcome back to the latest episode of whatever this train wreck happens to be! This week on Epic Beer Time (which is 100% a name steal from Epic Meal Time and nowhere close to being as good as that epic show)...
I slug down a Pilsner from Redhook. This bad boy used to be the seasonal formerly known as Rope Swing, but it was so popular they made it a full time brew. And I give the BBbarfly bottle opener a try. Are you ready for some beer-fu? If not... grab one today!
The Beer: Pilsner from Redhook Ale Brewery in Woodinville, Washington.
From the Brewer: Pilsner is brewed in a traditional Czech style and is the first pilsner Redhook Ale Brewery has ever released. It offers a very soft palate and malt flavors that are offset by a medium dose of destinct Czech hops to bring out its authentic flavors. The refreshing beer finishes with a clean, bright, thirst-quenching quality. Pilsner pairs nicely with barbecued chicken, bratwurst, spicy food, fresh fish, and green salad.
