Seasonal Beer Release: Pilsner
Today, Riggs Beer Company is releasing our Bavarian Style Pilsner.
There are lots of Pilsner Style Beers on the market. So what makes this one special?
For starters, we use 100% imported Bavarian hops and barley malt. And for the first time, all of the hops in our Pilsner were sourced directly from a single family farm located in the heart of Germany’s largest hop growing region, the Hallertau.

Here at Riggs, we take a very traditional approach to brewing. We don’t chase many trends and we re-brew most of our seasonal beers each year. Some people might call that boring. We prefer a different term: focused.
We don’t brew Pilsner because it’s the hot new trend in beer. We brew it because, when well made, it’s worthy of all our focus and effort. And we think that once you’ve tried it, you’ll agree.
Herbal and floral aromas meld into a clean malt sweetness that is followed by a robust and palate cleansing bitterness. Bavarian Style Pilsners tend to be a bit sweeter and have more hop flavor and less hop bitterness than their North German cousins.
