Czech Please! – Bohemian Pilsner T
orque has become a fun brewery here in Win- nipeg. From their start they’ve focused on producing a variety of beer options and have
always made sure to keep their taproom stocked with some new small batches for people to try out. I’m always excited to see what they’ve got on the menu and they do not disappoint. Tey recently announced a poten- tial expansion as well, so that means more awesome beer! For this Czech style Pils-

ner, they went all out. Not only did they stick with the traditional ingredients, they spent a great deal of time and effort trying to get the water just right. They softened it up so that they could try and match the water that makes this style. Pilsners are one of the most popular beer styles in the
word and originate in the City of Pilzen in 1295. While Pilsners are considered to be bottom-fermented beers now, they were actually top-fermented until about the mid-1840s. Te taste and standards of this older styles varied widely and in many cases entire barrels of beer were dumped out. In 1839 the city of Pilsen founded a city owned brewery (now Pilsner Urquell) which was to brew beers and pioneer the Bavarian style. Brewers had already begun to brew using bottom- fermenting yeasts that were fermented and stored in colder temperatures to be drunk later. Tis is where the term lager comes from. Lagern is the German word for storing and comes from this process. Using Pilzen’s soft water, local saaz hops and this
Bavarian style of lagering produced a clear, crisp and refreshing beer that became the standard for the style. With the introduction of modern refrigeration there was no need to use caves for beer storage and this enabled the brewing of bottom-fermenting beers in many new places. Tere are three styles of Pilsner: German-style Pilsner – More bitter and earthy in
flavour Bohemian (Czech) Pilsners – tend to have lighter
flavour Classic American Pilsners – Brewed with more
corn and rice as well as native cluster hops along with the noble hops when available. All modern pilsners are very clear, very light beers
that are pale to golden yellow. All of them have a distinct hop aroma and flavor. Tere are also Dutch and Belgian pilsners (not a separate style) which can be slightly sweeter.

Czech Please ABV – 5% Appearance – Golden in colour with an effervescent
head that dissipates quickly. Smell – Light malt notes, clean and bready, with light
grassy hop notes. Taste – Light, refreshing, a crisp bite at the finish along
with some subtle hop bitterness. It has a semi-sweet malt characteristic to it. Mouth Feel – Good carbonation with a coarse mouth
feel and a nice lingering finish. Overall Toughts – Overall it was a really nice Bo-
hemian Pilsner. I think it hit the highlights for me and over was a nice offering. Do I like it? – Yes, I did enjoy this beer. I really like
pilsners when it comes to the “lighter” beers. I think that they offer something interesting and flavourful. Tis one was certainly a very nice beer and I really enjoyed it. Just in time for this warm weather. • • •

beautifully delicious Baltic Porter is the perfect beer for Pothole season. It’s available all over town as well as at the brewery.
