HOW IT TASTES

THE MALT MATTERS

Recipe

Summerfest Trout

This one’s versatile—for the oven, grill or campfire! Summerfest simmers with the fish and veggies, creating a golden juice that highlights the brew’s faintly sweet notes—from Munich, Pilsner, and Two-row Pale malts—and its spicy hop character. The skin releases its grip on the meat for effortless, beautiful flakes of trout. Looks and tastes fancy, but the recipe is designed for the most entry-level cooks.

When temps hit red, blue cans FTW

Refreshing Summer Pilsner Lager

Our limited-edition Summerfest is a Bohemian-style lager timed for summer’s sizzle, when all you want is a crispy champ to beat the heat. It has the perfect balance of malt sweetness, floral hops, and a refreshing finish. What’s more? This year, 100% of Summerfest pilsner malt originated along the John Day River in Oregon, where our friends at Western Rivers Conservancy ensure barley farming uses sustainable practices for healthier soil, fish, and wildlife.
