Sunday Night Suds - Baderbrau Chicago Pilsner

This week's Sunday Night Suds looks at Baderbrau's Chicago Pilsner.

This past weekend I had the privilege to be in Chicago for my nephew Asher's Bar Mitzva celebration. Even though we flew, Mrs KB agreed to find a way to pack up some of the Midwest only available beers in our checked bags, so I went to visit the new Binny's on Touhy in Lincolnwood. And boy was I not disappointed!

I have written on more than one occasion that Chicago is one of the best beer towns in America, both for price and selection. I recently had read that the CRC (Chicago Rabbinical Council) had certified Baderbrau as kosher, so I was hoping to find some in this new Binny's. However, I found three different kinds in the mix your six section (along with some other new beers!) and a six pack of the Oktoberfest which I also needed to try.

The Chicago Pilsner poured a golden yellow, almost orange with decent foam which quickly receded. I poured the decently chilled can into a glass Banks Beer mug and watched the foam rise and settle. There was moderate to low carbonation but it did not dissipate that quickly. I found that the malt backbone was more than generous and there was the slightest bit of hops, but I was not really expecting much from a Pilsner.

As discussed above, Baderbrau Chicago Pilsner is certified kosher by the CRC and there is a CRC logo on the label. To see what the experts on Beer Advocate think about this brew, please follow this link beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/29318/82618.
