Mama’s Little Yella Pils....coming soon!
Our upcoming new canned good is a small-batch
version of the beer that made Pilsen, Czechoslovakia famous. Mama’s is
made with hearty amounts of pale malt, German specialty malts, and a
blend of traditional (Saaz) and 21st century Bavarian hops. Our first
canned lager, it’s also fermented at cool temperatures with a German
yeast. This tasteful reality Czech is the perfect antidote for the
watered-down versions of pilsner clogging America’s shelves. And Mama’s
gentle hopping (about 35 IBUs) and low ABV (just 5.3%) mean we’re
finally honoring consumer requests for a delicious but less-challenging
beer. (Hey, we like a good low-dose session beer, too.) Look for our
Gold Metal Winner on US shelves in March. Sadly, the Feds rejected our
“Take Two and Call Us in the Morning” line on the can.
