Right: Single Malt Whiskey from St. George Spirits is an American original: distilled, aged, and blended out of love for what a handcrafted single malt can be. If you’ve tried any other St. George distillate, you owe it to yourself to taste the spirit that compelled master distiller Lance Winters to start distilling in the first place in the 1990s and earned him his place in the Whisky Magazine Hall of Fame.
Left: Bo Pils from East Brother Beer Co. is a Bohemian Style Pilsner, golden with a lemony noble hop character and a light, grainy finish. Czech Pilsner, or Bohemian Pilsner, is the result of a shift in brewing mentality in early 1800s Czech brewing brought on by contamination issues with the ales they brewed at the time. A German brewer brought to the city of Pilsen a lagering method and bottom-fermenting yeasts perfect for cold fermentation. Pilsner Urquell is considered the original example of the style.
