Urban Chestnut Brewing Co. has mastered lagers, and the latest in single-hop experiments for this Euro-centric beer house is gorgeous. The Trailnet 30 Pilsner is a collaborative brew with Trailnet, an active lifestyle organization, for its 30th anniversary. It features a clean, bready Pilsner malt backbone that bolsters the vibrant tropical fruit-driven hop character from Callista hops. This crisp beer is a perfect classic style with a trendy twist.
