Wednesday marked the release of Double Mountain's first ever summer seasonal, a pilsner. The kick-off took place at Henry's 12th Street Tavern in Portland, Oregon, where giveaways and good times where enjoyed.

"Our first summer seasonal, Double Mountain Pils is a true lager, featuring a Czech yeast strain and six to eight weeks of aging. The malt bill is predominately Gambrinus Organic Pilsner malt, with a dash of imported German Vienna malt. The hops are 100% Sterlings, grown locally in the Yakima Valley.
Stylistically speaking, Double Mountain Pils will combine the upfront hoppy attack of a distinctive German-style pils with the slightly richer malt body often found in the Czech beers. Our Pils will be calibrated to the Northwest palate (translation = more hops!) and, as with all Double Mountain beers, will be served unfiltered."
Full Sail, similarly has released a summer brew on Tuesday, July 8th @ their Pilsner Room on Portland's southwest waterfront. The beer is a hazy, full-bodied summer weizen beer brewed in their Brewers Share series. The Brewers Share series is in celebration of Full Sail's 21st birthday. Cheers to beers!
