Chuckanut Brewery Releases Chuckanut Italian Pilsner
A new hop forward Pilsner is now available from Chuckanut Brewery with its Birrificio Italiano inspired Chuckanut Italian Pilsner from its involvement with the Italian brewers Pils & Love Festival. Originally brewed in 2019 for Seattle’s Chuck’s Hop Shop, Chuckanut Italian Style Pilsner returns in 500mL bottles across the Pacific Northwest.
In brewing Chuckanut Italian Style Pilsner, the brew team at Chuckanut used pilsner malt to lay down a backbone that delivers graininess and a light malt sweetness. However, the bright spot of this pilsner it the use of the Noble hops that provide for a clean bitterness and those dry-hopped for flavor and aroma. This is a German style pilsner on steroids! A highly drinkable lager with huge notes of spicy and herbal hops. Chuckanut Italian Style Pilsner goes great with oysters, seafood and really anything. It’s best just by itself, cheers!
