Widmer Brothers Brewing Celebrates 40 Years of Cheers with Northwest Pilsner
Released in time for the start of the Portland Timbers 2025 campaign, Widmer Brothers Brewing has brewed up a new German-inspired, all-Pacific Northwest pale lager aptly named Northwest Pilsner. This new Pilsner arrives at the brewery’s next chapter of its 40+ year brewing legacy to satisfy the tastebuds or PNW beer fans!
We first had this easy drinking Northwest Pilsner while attending the Portland Timbers season opener at Providence Park. This one can be found on draft all across the park and in better beer bars and pubs across the Portland metro area.
Northwest Pilsner is brewed for Portlanders, Northwest Pilsner delivers a crispy, floral all-day-sipping experience, tailor-made for your next “Prost!” and the spring sunshine alike. It’s brewed with Magnum, Crystal and Saaz hops, Northwest Pilsner offers a spectrum of floral and herbal notes balanced by a light, crackery malt profile. At an approachable 5.1% ABV with just 32 IBU, Northwest Pilsner delivers on Rob and Kurt Widmer’s original promise—deliver a damn good beer perfect for backyard barbecues, Timbers games and that post-work medicinal coldie.
Look for Northwest Pilsner exclusively on draft at Portland-area pubs, bars and eateries. There’s plenty more new beers in the hopper for 2025, make sure to follow @widmerbrothers to join the party.
