Export Lager

For at least a thousand years, the ability for brewers to brew more beer than needed locally and ship it off to distant drinkers around the world has been a valued as a source of prestige.

The qualities needed for exportation are one of the many factors that shape certain styles. Because of the expenses of packaging and shipping, it generally made sense for brewers to ship off their best beer. For this reason, export products have had a long reputation as being a superior product.

pFriem Export Lager is a testament to balance in brewing art; not a single attribute bullies the others for control of the palate. Instead, they happily mingle in a demonstration of restraint and cooperation. There is something comforting and familiar about an export beer. The flavor profile is somewhere between a Munich Helles and a Pilsner. It’s drier, stronger and hoppier than Helles but more full-bodied and less hoppy than a Pilsner.
