StormBreaker Brewing, an award-winning brewery based in Portland, Oregon, launched a delicious Italian-style pilsner that is clearly designed to offer a drinking experience that is refreshing and accessible to beer lovers of all stripes.
The 'Fragile' Italian-style pilsner has an ABV of 5.2 percent, which makes it an unabashedly lightweight beer that is well and truly positioned to be a more easygoing alternative to the bevy of stouts, dark beers, barrel-aged beverages and other robust beers that typically take over during the cold winter months.
This refreshing pilsner offers just a subtle note of fruity character topped with herbal hints.
Rob Lutz, brewmaster at StormBreaker Brewing, stated that this Italian-style pilsner pays tribute to beloved holiday movie 'A Christmas Story.' “We love finding new ways to honor our favorite holiday traditions while also creating new ones, which is why we decided to brew a light Italian-style pilsner that is perfect for all types of beer drinkers," said Lutz.
