Wrap your grip around Von Ebert Brewing's, canned, Cascadian Reserve and Keller Pils .
Press Release
PORTLAND, Ore. - September 22, 2020 - Von Ebert Brewing, the award-winning and locally owned Portland-based brewing company, tomorrow will release two new canned lagers, Cascadian Reserve and Keller Pils.
Cascadian Reserve is an extra-dry Pacific Northwest lager. At 5.5% ABV, it’s crisp and snappy, but exhibits a nice palate fullness.
“This beer was born out of memories from my past,” explains Sean Burke, head brewer, Von Ebert Glendoveer. “I recall American lager being hoppier when I was younger. I really enjoyed the drinkability of those beers, with the slight bump of hop flavor and aroma they contained. We wanted to bring back that idea of American lager and explore what we could do with it.”
The Von Ebert brewing team did a cereal mash with malted barley and rice as part of the process to create Cascadian Reserve. They used a blend of Saphir and Saaz hops to give it a nice, noble hop undercurrent, but still allow the base grains to still come through.
“I truly feel that there is an audience out there for these types of beers created by small, local, and independent breweries,” stated Burke.
Keller Pils is an unfiltered pilsner with Hallertau Tradition hops. It has notes of herbaceousness and spice with an ABV of 4.7%.
“Hallertau Tradition is one of my favorite types of hops to use,” said Burke. “They have an herbaceous, spice-like note with a little bit of bright citrus fruit character that I think works perfectly in the Keller Pils. I get notes of black tea and a sweet, floral aroma.”
Burke continued, “The beer is unfiltered which allows it to show off the high quality German pilsner malt we used, as well as the lager yeast. It’s softer than some of our other pilsners, but I like that presentation. It reminds me of the Bavarian pilsners I’ve had while in Germany. Unfiltered? Yes. Unrefined? No!”
Cascadian Reserve and Keller Pils will both be available in cans and on draft at both Von Ebert locations - Glendoveer and the Pearl. They will also be distributed locally, as well as in northern California.
