Sometimes the quest for the perfect brew takes you back to the techniques of the past... and sometimes just a name does. In the 19th century heyday of American brewing, coopers handmade each wooden barrel with as much care as our brewers now use to craft each distinct brew. Only the best barrels were used by the best brewers, and this pilsner style honors not only the importance of quality but also the early popularity of American style Pilsners.
