OK folks today's words of beer guidance will probably be short and sweet because today's brew is a true classic and it would be a travesty to over complicate a classic.

Brew: Scrimshaw Pilsner Style Beer
Origin: North Coast Brewing Company Fort Bragg, CA
Style: German Pilsner
ABV: 4.4%
A smooth and clear pour with a perfectly golden color and foamy but subtle head. This beer has a unique aeration pattern as I observed beyond the initial bubbles there were two spots which continued with a steady stream of bubbles after the pour settled. This beer has a clean and hoppy aroma that brings to mind a caucus of friends and family gathered around a table at a Hofbrauhaus with great big steins of beer like this in front of all. The first taste lives up to the aroma as it's clean refreshing taste goes down smooth. This beer's low ABV percentage lends itself to allowance of several of these fine brews one after another in true social Hofbrauhaus fashion. This beer with it's refreshing body and taste can be enjoyed on it's own but will also couple well with anything from classic NY style pizza to hot dogs to even a nice NY strip or T-Bone steak.
So in conclusion this is an aptly named beer as I can envision a crew of sailors coming into port after a long arduous whaling voyage and piling into the nearest tavern to enjoy many many rounds of this fine brew to celebrate a successful hunt or to soothe the wounds of failure and mourn and commemorate those lost during the hunt. So seek shelter find a haven which carries this simple and classic pilsner beer. This brew was obtained by me at Bellport Beverage during my excursion for LI Craft Beer week. So find a beer distributor and if they carry it buy it, chill it, drink it, experience it.
Cheers!
