Hindsight being 20/20 I wish I had purchased a six-pack (or two) when I had the pack in my hand at the tasting room. King Crispy is available for purchase right now as a seasonal beer but with very limited distribution:Īnd needless to say available at the tasting room in Roanoke. I would have loved to attend the Bitburger Pilsner Challenge, which occurred in the summer of 2019, but…įor those folks interested in the top three finishers of the challenge: Team Washington was composed of Aslan, Chuckanut, Georgetown, and Reuben’s, and they faced off against Breakside, Deschutes, pFriem, and Wayfinder.”ĭuring my visit to Portland in 2018 while attending HomebrewCon I had a chance to drink a number of Pilsners from some of those breweries with a visit to the pFriem Brewery in Hood River, OR being a highlight. “The rules were simple: submit a German-style pilsner that wasn’t part of the brewery’s standard line. Bitburger will also do a collaboration with the winner, which will be sold in the US. Bitburger sponsored the challenge, and some folks from the winning brewery will get to go to Bitburg. It was called the Bitburger Challenge, and pitted four Washington breweries against four from Oregon in a pilsner competition. “Prost!, a German-beer pub here in Portland, hosted a cool event over the weekend. I am home now and did some web searching to learn: On the packaging was mention this beer won the Bitburger Pilsner Challenge and I thought to myself “what the heck is that?”.
I also perused the beer refrigerator and one of the beers in there were six-packs of King Crispy. I ordered a pint and that beer was very good – excellent. I was surprised to see they had a German Pilsner on tap which was branded King Crispy. Attending Wursfest again (we went two times) was great fun.Īnyway, on the return leg of the trip we visited Roanoke, VA and going to the Deschutes Tasting Room was in order. Seeing everybody was a great treat after a 2 year hiatus due to the pandemic.
I just returned from a two-week roadtrip/vacation to visit family & friends in Texas (New Braunfels, TX).
