Wizards of the Fuzz – West Coast-Style Pilsner Monnik Collab

Wizards of the Fuzz
West Coast-Style Pilsner – 5.7%
4PK – 16oz Cans

We riffed on a stylistic ditty of West Coast Pils a few years back (has it been that long?!), and we’ve been steadily itching to make a few very small tweaks and bring the style back! So we teamed up with our sweetest of buds @monnikbeer and whipped one up!

Collaboratively, we humbly present to you, “Wizards of the Fuzz”!

Mashed with @riverbendmalt Chesapeake Pils and a dash of their Chit Malt. Hopped very heavily with Cascade throughout the boil, and then hit with some Michigan Centennial in the Whirlpool. Fermented low and slow with our House Lager yeast, spunded for 100% natty carb-o, and dry-hopped with a heavy-handed addition of Citra Cryo and a new experimental hop from Hopsteiner, HS16660 (think a more tropical and dank version of Citra!). Then, obviously, laid down to rest in a Horizontal Tank for many moons.

We experience ripping into a Blueberry-drizzled baguette with a lil’ baby spliff on the side, some frozen tropical fruit chunks replacing ice in your bong *AHEM* “WATER PIPE” *AHEM*, a splash of extra-juicy Mango wedges, slipping into something comfortable with Rickshaw Billy’s Burger Patrol cranked all the way up while you shotgun a can of this deliciousness, probably followed a high five. CAN WE GET A HELLLLLLLL YEAH?!?!?

More bitter and fruity than a run-of-the-mill Pils, but with New-School hops and no grassy character, and definitely more aggressive hop character. And definitely just as crushable and crisp as you’ve come to expect from our Chippy Bois™. Crank up the dial and get ready to riff your way through a can or twelve!
