Chuckanut Brewery is proud to celebrate an international collaboration, with a Gold Medal Czech-style pilsner crafted in partnership with Japan’s Yokohama Bay Brewery. The beer is born from a friendship that spans years and a shared admiration of traditional lagers and is now gaining world recognition. Its release is a significant event for both breweries to celebrate and an opportunity for beer lovers in Japan and the U.S. to taste the collaboration.
Ina press release, Chuckanut Brewery revealed that Gold Medal Czech Pilsner was chosen as an official lager for the Japan Brewers Cup in Yokohama February 6-8th. Chuckanut’s brewery friends in Japan will be offering the Gold Medal Pilsner before, during and after the festival around Tokyo, Yokohama and further abroad.
And Gold Medal is also available on tap and in cans around WA, OR and CA. This premium Czech-Style Pilsner balances rich, bready malts with spicy Saaz hops. It delivers a crisp and refreshing finish with a distinctive floral bitterness. More body and malty flavors then either Chuckanut’s or Yokohama’s World Beer Cup Gold Medal winning Bohemian Pilsners.
Yokohama Bay and Chuckanut have been friends for many years. Owner and beermaster for Yokohama Bay, Shinya Suzuki believes Will Kemper, owner and brewmaster of Chuckanut, to be an important influence and mentor in his growth as a brewer of lagers and specifically pilsner beers. They’ve remained friends over the years by sharing their love of great lager beers. The main ingredients in Gold Label Czech Pilsner includes Pilsner and Carafoam malts with Saaz and Tettnanger hops. Gold Label pairs excellently with Fish and Chips or grilled lemon-herb chicken. Refreshingly thirst quenching on its own, try it while still on tap and in cans and enjoy a well crafted pilsner beer!
