This week's Sunday Night Suds looks at New Belgium The Purist Clean Lager.
This is another of the beers that I picked up on my first post-Pesach trip to Total Wine in Westbury. While not every brewery is pumping out new beers, New Belgium has continued to do so and two of the three beers that I bought last week were from New Belgium.
Much like last week's Blue Moon Blue Sky (reviewed here http://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2020/05/sunday-night-suds-blue-moon-light-sky.html) this is a light beer - 95 calories and 3g carbs. And much like the Blue Sky, it is a bit light on taste, although since this is a lager its not so far off. The beer did pour the same pale gold color as a pilsner and the breadiness was there, albeit somewhat lighter. This was not as solid as a Stella Artois, but it was stronger and tastier than a Heineken. The 3.8% abv did seem accurate as there was little to no alcohol taste.
The New Belgium The Purist Lager is under kosher supervision by the Scroll-K/Va'ad of Denver, and their symbol is on the bottom of the six pack can box. However, not every brew produced by New Belgium is under kosher supervision, so look for the Scroll K on the six pack holder or box when considering purchasing any NBB product. Many of the "sours" such as the Peach Kick which was released over the summer cannot be certified kosher.
