Rage Quit from Barrel Theory Beer Company

Barrel Theory’s extensive taproom beer list consists mostly of hazy IPAs, sour beers and the occasional sweet stout. This beer, a perfectly crisp, unfiltered pilsner, feels like the antidote to all of that, and on a recent visit, it was just what I was looking for. In fact, this beer makes me wish the brewery would make more beers that don’t come loaded with exotic hops or chocolate or marshmallows. Of course, they’re good at all the other stuff, too, but sometimes a beer that tastes like beer is a welcome thing.
