    That being said, there are lots of pilsners out there that have a more balanced profile that you might enjoy. Loma Prieta by Beachwood Brewing (Long Beach) is a tasty German Pilsner; Port Town Pilsner by Port Town Brewing Company is outstanding. Smog City's Little Bo Pils is another good one.

    Lagers are tougher because they are more difficult to produce do not a lot of craft brewers do them, but I liked Bottle Logic's Hanamachi (Japanese Rice Lager).

    Ballast Point has a Helles Lager, Longfin Lager, that is pretty good and relatively easy to find. Anchor Steam's Anchor California Lager is pretty good too. Be advised, lagers are not my favorite style and because very few craft brewers can do them, I have limited experience with them. That being said, if I rate a lager highly it must be pretty damned good. A lager can be true to style but won't rank well with me just because I am not a lager guy.

    Hope it helps a little.
    cool, certainly helps, I'll look for those. Is a lager lighter than a pilsner? should I be looking in that direction? I'ave had the anchor steam and it's tasty but still heavier than I think I can go.

        i am sure there are more good ones but for someone that likes the original Pilsner taste, i can recommend at least that
        A Czech Pilsner by New Belgium, will keep an eye out for it. Noble Ale Works' Pistol Whip'd is a pretty nice Czech pils

        I would say as far as flavor goes, most lagers are lighter than most pilsners, but that is a tough one. Yeasts and malt varieties account for a lot. Anchor makes a lot of different styles, I would not judge them all by one.

          will look out for that - the Blue Paddle they have on tap at Hard Rock Las Vegas...

          Would this be a bike for you?



          besides the modern brewery they also keep brewing with the old equipment in the old cellars to be able to compare taste - this beer is non filtered and non pasteurized and only sold in 2 local restaurants

                I'ma keep an eye out for the ones you mentioned. But I wonder why no one has made a craft miller light kinda beer? that sounds pretty fucking tasty to me!

                but I don't know anything about making beer!

                    I may not care for the make, but the style works for me; looks comfy.

                    I did some research, seems they got bought out by Miller/Coors or something. Some people see that as a bad thing but I lean towards it meaning better distribution for them. As long as they stay true to their style.

                    I read some reviews on the New Belgium one and they weren't stellar, but New Belgium is kind of hit or miss anyway.

                    No one makes a light lagers the same reason few make lagers, they are hard to do because you have to cold ferment them. There are lots of craft breweries doing session ales now, like around 3.5 ABV. Some are very good, but most I've had have been session IPAs which I presume you do not care for.

                        and they actually invented Pilsener beer (german brewmaster that came to Pilsen cause in Bavaria they found his beer too bitter)

                            Adult was a complete failure for me, but the money I lost with my solo site and affiliate program was peanuts for the lessons I learned at such a young age and with my first real attempt at starting a business...


                            Now I do better than all the people I had problems with combined, and have a great feeling of satisfaction seeing all of them struggle and still put up this front like they're doing good

                              Like I said, while others may see it as a bad thing my personal experience is that the craft guy getting bought out by the corporate brewers is able to expand his market.

                              Great example around here is Goose Island out of Chicago. Anheuser-Busch InBev bought them in 2010(?) and they now brew the standard stuff I never drink anyway, with a much larger distribution area. The best part is that now Goose Island can concentrate on their good stuff like their Bourbon County Brand Stouts which are now available in 8 or 9 markets in the country; including LA.

                              There are beer snobs that may not agree but that is what separates the geeks from the snobs, I guess.
