Pilsner Video
WE STARTED SIERRA NEVADA WITH A PURPOSE:
To bring together the craftsmanship of European brewing with distinctive American flavor. We continue this legacy with PILS, our premium craft lager. Crisp and clean with an innovative twist for a refreshingly smooth taste - it's the best of both worlds.
TIMELESS TRADITION & BOLD CRAFTSMANSHIP
Our brewery has always been inspired by the German brewing process. We imported real copper German kettles to brew our beer.
Like the legendary European pilsners that inspired us, PILS is brewed with precision and balance. Its brilliant clarity and tight, white foam reveal our commitment to quality, from selecting the purest ingredients to our brewing process.
“I've enjoyed beers all over the world, but there's something special about a proper Pilsner at a European pub. Crisp, refreshing, and served in a smaller glass to keep it at the ideal temperature and flavor—it's how Pils is meant to be enjoyed.”
WHY THE PROPER PILSNER CAN?
Smaller cans reflect European culture, a size that optimizes the true PILS experience.
The portion size ensures that PILS stays fresh, crisp, and cold from the first to the last sip.
Bright citrus and tangerine aromas rise from the glass, balanced with a subtle touch of sweet malt.
A smooth malt body with upfront sweetness, pleasant hop character, and hints of citrus peel create a soft, dry finish that's refreshing sip after sip.
Great beer isn’t just about what’s in the glass—it’s about sharing unforgettable moments.
