COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A unique Australian Pilsner, brewed in Beechworth from Chestnuts grown locally in the Beechworth and Stanley hills. The Chestnut Pilsner also uses Galaxy hops from the Rostrevor Hop Garden in the nearby Ovens Valley. As with any of the worlds best pilsner the most important ingredients is time, and we have allowed this beer plenty of it, with each batch aged for around 3 months before release. Bridge Road Brewers have created a gem of a beer through experimenting with local produce, a truly local brew! This unique lager is very pale and presents a crisp ’pilsner’ like profile combined with a distinct nutty character owing to the use of Chestnuts in the mash. The crisp clean profile of this beer lends itself to the summer months and can be paired with seafood or lighter dishes.

On tap at the Bended Elbow. Served a hazy golden color with a small head that faded to bits of lacing. Aroma of citrus and grain with just a bit of malt sweetness in the background. Taste of hops crispness, mild malt sweetness and a bit of grain. Nice crispness and a dry finish. Fairly light body, crisp and refreshing. Nice beer, fairly average for the style, but enjoyable.
