Chestnut Pilsner
Brewed with chestnuts grown in the hills above the brewery and hopped with Galaxy from a hop garden in the neighbouring valley, this is a local experiment rather than a German copy. Each batch is lagered around three months. It pours very pale and drinks crisp and clean, with a distinct nutty character from the nuts in the mash sitting under a light floral hop note. The close is dry and short.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Chestnut Pilsner
Serve well-chilled at 4–6°C for maximum crispness. A pilsner served too warm loses its defining snap.
The tall, narrow pilsner glass preserves carbonation and showcases the golden clarity that defines the style.
Drink fresh and cold. Pilsners do not improve with age — within 3 months of packaging is ideal.
