Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. is elevating the pilsner experience with a dual-format expansion of its premium PILS beer. Alongside the debut of its European-inspired 8.4-ounce cans, the brewery has rolled out nationwide draft distribution, bringing its crisp, citrusy lager to taps across the country. This launch reflects Sierra Nevada’s dedication to craftsmanship and intentionality, offering beer lovers a refined way to enjoy PILS—whether at home or on draft.
According to a press release from Sierra Nevada Brewing Co., the new 8.4-ounce cans have recently been launched in select markets with plans for a nationwide ‘proper pilsner can’ roll-out in early 2026. Additionally, distribution of draft PILS has expanded nationally as of August.
Printed on each can is a quote from Brian Grossman, Chief Brewer and second-generation brewery owner at Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. that further explains the intentionality and inspiration behind the can size:
“I’ve enjoyed beers all over the world, but there’s something special about a proper pilsner at a European pub. Crisp, refreshing, and served in a smaller glass to keep it at the ideal temperature and flavor— it’s how PILS is meant to be enjoyed.”
PILS launched successfully in draft-only format in select markets in April. The premium pilsner has nuanced refinement and is well balanced with bright citrusy, floral flavors and aromas and a touch of sweet malt character to round out each sip. It is 4.7% ABV, 25 IBU and pours a crystal clear golden straw color in the glass. The beer is approachable and versatile, an ideal option for premium food pairing, and the 8-pack is prime for sharing at dinner parties and gatherings.
“We are dedicated and meticulous brewers that are committed to producing top-tier beers that stand on their own,” said Grossman. “At Sierra Nevada, we believe the details matter and that’s why we’ve worked so hard to deliver an optimal drinking experience in each can of PILS.”
With its refined flavor profile and thoughtfully designed packaging, Sierra Nevada’s PILS is poised to become a staple for beer connoisseurs and casual drinkers alike. Whether poured fresh from the tap or enjoyed from the new 8.4-ounce proper pilsner cans, this premium lager delivers a crisp, balanced experience rooted in tradition.
