![]() It’s lemony, a little tangerine, a little floral, and has your best interests in mind. ![]() Batch #1036 "Better Call Bob" Brewer Notes: This batch features Citra in WP and Cascade Cryo in DH - on top of our standard GR Magnum, CZ Saaz, GR Mandarina varieties.Weyermann Pilsner Malt & an ever changing blend of hops. A little touch of pilsner malt here, a little push of German and American hops there, caressed very gently layer after layer after layer. Oh also - the beer! It was hopped with a bright, refreshing, citrus forward hop bill of Citra, Comet, & Motueka laid over a lighter grist of 2 row, Pils, & Spelt.Ĭontemporary American-Style Pilsner | 5.3% | GABF Silver & 2022 World Beer Cup Bronze We believe everyday is a good day when you brew. And after some brainstorming, and a little break (Joey was in the midst of putting the finishing touches on his current exhibit at the Bellevue Art Museum), a beautiful quilt and beer label was created! As for the charity of choice, we will be donating the profit from this beer to the Lavender Rights Project - a Seattle based organization that offers financial, legal and social services to the black and indigenous intersex and gender diverse community. And so, we reached out to Joey to see if he’d be down for a project - to design a beer can label, and to choose a local charity that we could donate the profits of this beer to. His work is inviting, impressive, and downright joy-inducing - and the humble vehicle of the quilt really resonated with us. We were doom scrolling early in 2022 and came across Joey Veltkamp’s work - a Bremerton based artist whose medium is quilts, often with bright colors and scenic and/or cheeky vibes. Wanna hear a fun story? Ok, here it goes. If that’s not okay, we don’t wanna be right. We decided to not use any added clarifying agents other than time and temp for this batch of “Keller” Pils, allowing Weyermann’s Floor Malted Bohemian Pilsner Malt and Czech Saaz hops to exist in their purest form, perhaps with the slightest sheen of haze, much to the chagrin of traditionalists. That said, you know what else clears up the appearance of beer quite well? Time! Also, temperature! And that brings us to…this beer. These things (irish moss, whirlfloc, gelatin, biofine, etc) occasionally work well, though their effectiveness isn’t wholly predictable, and while making the beer appear clear is “traditional”, they tend to weaken the head retention and lessen the mid-palate texture. While we’ve never filtered any of our beers (because we don’t own a filter) we do occasionally add wort clarifiers to our kettle and during conditioning to brighten the appearance of our beer. BUT recently we’ve really enjoyed not clarifying them. As most of you know, we’ve been lowkey brewing traditional-style lagers since our conception. Umm, so we’d like to have a word with you.
