I don’t know if it’s like this everywhere, but Washington has a group of craft beer super nerds for every major beer style. You can find thousands of them in an online forum called Beer Tasting Seattle.  

If you search “Pilsner” within that forum, the screen lights up with hundreds of threads about the crisp, clean style! 

And, the most talked-about Pilsner-focused brewery in the Evergreen State has got to be Chuckanut. They cleaned up at last year’s North American Beer Awards, winning six medals  — all in Lager categories!  

  This microbrewery specializes in refreshing, true-to-style Lagers and Pilsners. Washingtonians will tell ya, Chuckanut’s Pilsner is a quintessential taste of the Pacific Northwest. 

It’s light-bodied, full of tasty cereal grain flavor, and it pairs beautifully with practically any meal. Personally, I enjoy it alongside a plate of wings and a football game. 

This fall, I’m thankful for the Pils-pros at Chuckanut!
