Timbo Pils from Alvarado Street Brewery in Salinas, California is a sharp, sun-drenched West Coast Pilsner that brings California's craft sensibility to a classic European form. It pours a brilliant straw gold with a crisp, white head that lingers with fine lacing. The aroma is bright and inviting, offering fresh floral and spicy hop notes alongside clean, bready malt sweetness. On the palate, it is refreshingly light-bodied yet structured, with a well-balanced interplay of soft grain character and assertive hop bitterness. Citrus and herbal nuances emerge mid-sip, keeping things lively and dynamic. The finish is clean, dry, and satisfyingly crisp — a hallmark of the West Coast approach to this Central European style.

What is a West Coast Pilsner?

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Timbo Pils

Serve at 4–7°C
Refrigerate, then rest 2 min

Serve well-chilled at 4–6°C for maximum crispness. A pilsner served too warm loses its defining snap.

Pilsner glass
Recommended for this style

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.
