This week's Sunday Night Suds looks at Brooklyn Brewery's Pilsner.
Picked this up at Trader Joe's on Court Street where they let you mix a six pack of singles and don't upcharge you for making the mix pack. In some beer stores, they will not allow you to buy singles or mix a six pack. These are usually stores with lower sales volumes where the proprietor is concerned that if he allows people to buy singles, he may get stuck with a bunch of six packs which are going bad (more than six months old) with two - three bottles in each six pack.
Other stores will allow you to mix a six pack, but they upcharge the bottles. By way of example, taking one bottle out of a six pack should result in being charged 1/6th of the six pack price. When a store upcharges, they charge you 1/5 (or even 1/4) of the six pack price. At Trader Joe's they allow you to buy as many singles as you want (whether or not you actually buy a six pack is irrelvant to them). So I filled a six pack holder with some beers that I wanted to try, along with some of the better TJ beers like the Stockyard Oatmeal Stout and Black Frog Dark Ale.
The Brooklyn Pilsner is a beer that I had tried many years ago when I first found out that Brooklyn was making kosher certified brews. It has been quite a few years since I had a Brooklyn Pilsner and I had forgotten how crisp it was, with a little bit of hops and some bitterness at the end. This is the kind of beer that you can enjoy in all seasons - at the end of a long hot summer day or with a sefer on a long winter Friday night.
Brooklyn Pilsner is under the kosher supervision of the Va'ad of Detroit as are all 12 oz Brooklyn beers which are brewed in the Utica plant.
