Having left behind our years of gypsy brewing (i.e. brewing at other people?s breweries), we decided to tackle the classical in the reopened Moe Brewery. The first challenge became pilsner, the world?s first pale beer. Marius had brewed pilsner in New Zealand, using the local Motueka hops, which are a local variety of the original Saaz hops. Pilsner must be brewed using the decoction method, which is quite complicated, and tests the brewing boiler and the skills of the brew master. Pilsner was the world?s first pale and clear beer and it dates from 1842 in Plze?, Bohemia, Czech Republic. The Motueka hops we use in the Muddis Pilsner are a New Zealand variety of the Saaz hops used in the Czech pilsner. Brewed according to traditional Czech pilsner-brewing methods with Motueka hops from New Zealand. A crisp and refreshing pale beer with a rich bouquet.
