Collabrrrewnaut
Espresso Pilsner • 5.0% • Wild Oats Series No. 36
Collabrrrewnaut is a classic Bohemian-style Pilsner blended with organic fairtrade coffee from Honduras, specially selected for this collaboration by our friends at Ottawa’s Bridgehead Roastery. This beer was lagered for three weeks, then cold-infused with the coffee to create an unlikely but harmonious juxtaposition of light and dark.
History & Style
The world’s first blond lager, Bohemian pilsners were first brewed in the mid-19th century. The style originated in the City of Plzen (Pilsen), part of the present-day Czech Republic. Known for its light, clear colour and clean, crisp finish, our Collabrrrewnaut sends the pilsner brewing tradition hurtling space years ahead of its time with a espresso-roast coffee infusion. The Collabrrrewnaut recipe was created and first brewed in 2014 as part of Beau’s annual FeBREWary celebrations.
Tasting Notes
Collabrrrewnaut has an herbal, spicy noble hop aroma, with a subtle yet ever-present espresso note that lingers like the scent of coffee in a busy Czech café. The beer possesses a mild bitterness, with a clean dry finish. Restrained nuances courtesy of the coffee suggest dried figs, nutty richness and chocolate as they intermingle with the classic Pilsner style.
