Ok so, a few words about this style. You’ve probably noticed we’ve never really brewed one before, save for Timbo and collabs at friend’s spots. It’s not because we don’t like them – we really do! – it’s because it’s too close to (& often confused with) the beer we brew all the time – Happy Little Clouds, our Contemporary American Pilsner. So, we wanted to use this space (& beer) to explain the differences. HLC is an 8 week beer, brewed like a traditional German Pilsner, but with a little more hops in the WP and a light Dry Hop. This WC Pils is a 5 week beer, and while the malt bill is similar and the yeast is the same as HLC, the hop load in the WP is 50% more than and the DH rate is TRIPLED (we used Nectaron, Mosaic & Citra). To us, this beer is closer to a West Coast Pale Ale than a Pilsner. Nomenclature be damned, it’s a bright, tropical, hop saturated crusher you’ll be yearning for, just like long time sunshine.
