Parkland Pils – Fremont Brewing

Crisp, light and refreshing is what a pilsner should be. Parkland Pils delivers a light and refreshing lemony pilsner that is very drinkable. Available only in March, it is a beer that you could drink several of on a warm Spring day. I just wish I had the equipment to brew something like this. IT would definitely be on permanent rotation.


From Fremont Brewing website:

Spring is the season of Renewal and Invention, and that’s cool with Fremont, so we decided to offer not one, but three different beers for our Spring Seasonal this year. The final beer in our Spring Seasonal series is Parkland Pils, a crisp pilsner to welcome the coming sun and warm days. We first brewed this beer to drink after working a shift at the brewery and kept brewing it because, well, we work a lot of shifts and need a lot of beer. And we thought this pilsner was really good, and we brewed some to share with you. Parkland is brewed with German malts and Yakima Valley hops. “There’s a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot.” – Steven Wright

The Sister – Fremont Brewing – Craft Beer Review

Some times the craft beer industry really confuses me. Take the dank IPA trend for example. What is the real goal? Are brewers trying to create a beer that smells like a frat house on a Sunday morning?


The definition of dank is as follows: disagreeably damp, musty, and typically cold. Why would any one want to set damp and musty as a goal for a beer? That just sounds wrong.

From the Fremont Brewing website:

Sister is the most imperious of our Imperial Series and is inspired by our desire to thank Sisters everywhere. Without our Sisters, we would have never learned the finer points of emotional warfare, or the art of huffing and puffing, or snide remarking, how long to carry a grudge, or the true meaning of loyalty when one of us is hurt. This Sister is fittingly bitter and a little sweet but she will always be there for you…Because Sisters Matter. “Never Let An Angry Sister Comb Your Hair.” 

ABV: 8.5% IBU: MYOB SRM: N/A

Malts: 2-row, White Wheat, Vienna
Hops: Calypso, Mosaic, and Ekuanot with Amarillo extract.
Yeast: Unknown
Other Ingredients: None
