We spoke with Jersey Girl Brewing Co. Head Brewer Vince DesRosiers about MO PILS.

BC: Who came up with this beer’s recipe?
Answer Vince Desrosiers Head Brewer:
The King Gambrinus recipe is a variation of a Tripel that Bob Barrar from 2SP Brewing Co. taught me how to brew about 13 years ago
The Owner of Jersey Girl Brewing, Charles Aaron had a vision for drinkable yet unique German Pilsner. We came up with the recipe for MO PILS after talking about our personal favorite pilsners.
 
BC: What’s your favorite aspect of this beer (flavor, aroma, etc.)?
My favorite aspects of MO PILS is the very slight lemon finish I get after each sip. I think that lemon flavor is unique and adds to the beer's drinkability.
 
BC: Where does this beer’s name come from?
MO PILS's name is a nod to our brewery's hometown of Mount Olive (MO), New Jersey. 
 
BC: Can you describe this beer in 10 words or less?
Crisp, clean, refreshing, spicy, lager. Very slight hints of lemon.
 
BC: What's a good food pairing for this beer?
Pan fried Rainbow trout. The crisp Pilsner helps cut through the oil of the trout and the hints of lemon in the MO PILS complement it beautifully.
