PORTLAND, Ore. - July 20, 2021 - Von Ebert Brewing, winner of the 2021 Oregon Beer Awards’ Medium Size Brewery of the Year, on Thursday will release the latest beer from its ongoing explorations of the Pilsner style, a modern tropical pilsner named Maid of the Mist created with soon to be opening Steeplejack Brewing.
“Maid of the Mist is a true warm weather Pilsner,” explained Jason Hansen, Lead Brewer and Blender, Von Ebert Glendoveer. “We created a spritzy modern Pilsner, taking it in a tropical direction.”
The two breweries used specially selected Azacca and El Dorado hops from Roy Farms, as well as experimental variety HBC 586 and a concentrated pellet of Sultana hops.
“This blend of hops evokes sitting on an equatorial beach watching the sunset with a warm breeze blowing through your hair and the distant sounds of monkeys and parrots in your ears,” continued Hansen. “The beer is hyper-aromatic, while still retaining the crispness and drinkability of the underlying Pilsner base.”
The 4.7% ABV beer contains characteristics of pineapple, peach candy, lychee, and black tea. The Maid of the Mist name references a Native American myth about Niagara Falls.
Maid of the Mist will be available at both Von Ebert pub locations, Glendoveer and the Pearl, on draft and in 16oz. can four-packs beginning on Thursday, July 22. Along with the Maid of the Mist release, Von Ebert will also be releasing fresh 16oz. four-pack cans of its Helles on Thursday.
