The Daily Pint

We just put on a new German-style pilsner brewed right here in California, and wow, this is one solid pilsner.

It’s nice to see authentic German-style beers being brewed nearby.  Since it’s brewed locally, it gets here fresh, unlike many of the German-brewed beers that take weeks to arrive from Germany.

Spezial Pilsner is one of 3 beers currently being made by Einhorn Beer Company out of San Luis Obispo.  The brewer, Douglas Martin, lived in Germany for over 20 years, and spent 2 years at the Doemen’s Beverage Academy in Munich, one of three brewing academies in Germany.

Doug talks about his beers on the Einhorn website:

HAVE A BEERY WEEKEND!

To celebrate yesterday’s release of the 2009 Stone Imperial Russian Stout, we have just tapped a firkin aged with American Oak.  Come by the Pint and try a pint of this amazing stout, consistently ranked as one of the best imperial stouts on the market.

Try it alongside another Daily Pint favorite, Port Brewing’s Old Viscosity, also available on tap right now (but not on cask).

Also being tapped today is another Stone favorite, a cask of Smoked Porter with Vanilla Bean.

And for you hopheads who missed it this weekend, we still have a little of the Bear Republic Apex left, along with some Blind Pig.

Limited Edition Stone Imperial Russian Stout glasses are available for sale at Beer Geek Shop.
