🗣️ BREWER’S CORNER

“Our flagship pilsner, a beer that has been with us since day one of Slowburn and for sure a long time favourite.

What makes a pilsner “Italian”? We could joke about the fact that it’s brewed by an Italian brewer and leave it at that, but it wouldn’t be fair to the origins of this style. We have to go back to 1996, when Birrificio Italiano opened for business and brewed their first Tipopils, a lager inspired by the most classic German pilsners but with a twist: the beer gets dry hopped (adding hops after fermentation) with traditional German hops varieties , a practice that back then was far from common for the style.

These so-called “noble” hops impart a bouquet of aromas to the beer that is quite different from those of the American varieties we are used to in IPAs, and Octopils is characterized by aromas reminiscent of white flowers, hay, light citrus and white pepper. It drinks dry, with a good amount of bitterness and a non-invasive but present malt profile to balance it.” 🐙🐙🐙
