BC: Who came up with this beer’s recipe?
All of our beers have team influence and are in a constant stage of progression, but I am the one that originally came up with this beer.

BC: What’s your favorite aspect of this beer (flavor, aroma, etc.)?
Huge tropical hop aroma, balanced with bright maltiness.

BC: Where does this beer’s name come from?
With all our beers we just name them what they are. In this case its a “American IPA" so the beer is simply named IPA.

BC: Is this your “desert island beer?”
This beer could be a close contender for my desert island beer, but I would want something that is less strong and one that you could drink lots of.

BC: Can you describe this beer in 10 words or less?
Tropical, mango, grapefruit, blueberry, dank, fresh, light candy malt, and hoppy!

BC: Do you know a story – or have a personal story – that revolves around this beer?
I grew up in the Pacific Northwest, so I have been drinking IPAs since their early rise. I remember being in college and hunting for the freshest and best IPAs made by small breweries in Northern Washington. We couldn’t get enough of those fresh hoppy beers. Even with all the beers and styles we brew at pFriem I am still a sucker for a bright hoppy fresh IPA.

All of our beers have team influence and are in a constant stage of progression, but I am the one that originally came up with this beer.

BC: What’s your favorite aspect of this beer (flavor, aroma, etc.)?
Its drinkability and subtle complexity. This beer drinks so well, it's an everyday drinker and also a year-round drinker for me and my crew.

BC: Where does this beer’s name come from?
With all our beers we just name them what they are. In this case its a historical style “Pilsner,” so the beers simply named Pilsner.

BC: Is this your “desert island beer?”
Yes! If I had to only have one beer on a desert island it would be this beer!

BC: Can you describe this beer in 10 words or less?
Brilliantly gold, spring flowers, zesty, crisp, snappy, floral, and refreshing.

BC: Do you know a story – or have a personal story – that revolves around this beer?
I love Pilsner. I have been brewing Pilsner my entire professional brewing career, never have I come across a style of beer that is thirst-quenching, dynamic, flavorful, and just so damn good. When we opened pFriem I was very excited to brew Pilsner, but at the time lagers were not all the rage like they are currently. My mind would have been blown if I new that pFriem Pilsner would become our flagship beer.
