BALTIMORE, MD — Heavy Seas Beer is pleased to announce the release of a new year-round beer in 2016, Pounder Pils. This German-style Pilsner lager will be available starting in April 2016, in all 17 states where Heavy Seas Beer is distributed.
Made with Czech malts and a plethora of European hops, Pounder Pils is an American interpretation of the classic European Style. Exhibiting a crisp malt backbone and an herbaceous hop profile, the beer is refreshing yet still complex.
“I have been looking forward to making this beer for a long time,” said Brewmaster Chris Leonard. “True Pilsner is a challenging style – the flavor profile has to be perfectly balanced. There is very little to hide behind.”
The specs for the new product are:
Style: Pilsner
ABV: 5%
IBU: 35 to 40
Malts: Pale, Czech Pilsen
Hops: Hallertau Mittlefrue, Saaz, Opal
“The cannon balls on a sailing ship during the age of sail were named for their weight,” said Heavy Seas Founder, Hugh Sisson. “A common size weighed 6 pounds, and would be called a ‘6 pounder’, so we thought it entirely appropriate to make that the name of our new 5% Pilsner – which is, after all, a very ‘poundable’ style of beer!”
