BERKELEY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Trumer Pils, the award-winning pilsner brewed in Berkeley, California, is one of 25 craft beers selected for Wine Enthusiast Magazine’s list of the Top 25 Beers of 2014. This marks the second time that Trumer Pils has received this distinction from the publication.
Wine Enthusiast Magazine, a respected authority in the world of wine, beer and spirits, ranked Trumer Pils number 20 with a score of 90 out of 100 points. The review states, “This is a clean, classic pilsner, originating in Austria but now brewed in California, still in accordance with the Reinheitsgebot, or German beer purity law. It pours a brilliant golden-straw color, with a bouquet that offers clean and precise aromas of grass, dried hops, orange and grain. The high carbonation and light body make this an easy-drinking and refreshing selection, with final glimmers of pepper and hoppy bitterness on the clean finish.”
“This recognition is very rewarding for us,” said Lars Larson, brewmaster at the Trumer Brewery in Berkeley. “We are committed and passionate about craft brewing an outstanding pilsner locally, while still staying true to the heritage of the 400 year-old Trumer Brauerei in Salzburg. It is an honor to be recognized for our craftsmanship along with our well-respected peers from across the country.”
The Top 25 Beers list is an exclusive selection of the best beers that Wine Enthusiast Magazine has reviewed during the past year. The list will appear as a feature in the publication’s “Best of Year” issue on sale December 2.
