SheBrew French Pils

This beer was brewed for the “SHEBREW” event held each year in Portland, OR that celebrates women in the industry. SheBrew is not just a beer fest, it is an event honoring equality and supports women and the LGBTQ community with all proceeds going to the Human Rights Campaign.

This hoppy lager begins with the foundation of a classic German Pilsner, then takes a vibrant turn thanks to some aromatic French hop varieties—Barbe Rouge and Mistral. Brewed on a high-quality Pilsner malt base and crafted through a traditional decoction mash, it’s fermented low and slow. Rather than leaning on herbaceous noble German hops, we highlight the delicate yet expressive fruit character of Barbe Rouge and Mistral. To elevate the aroma and flavor even further, we add a touch of the experimental hop variety HBC 630, adding bright citrus and subtle tropical notes.

The end result is a lively, crisp lager with a refreshing floral and red berry profile. The fruity hop expression integrates seamlessly with the clean malt base, allowing every subtle nuance of this carefully crafted lager to shine.

Cheers to all the hardworking and creative women in the industry!
