Friend Krush

West Coast Pilsner
On Rotation

We go waaaaay back. Claim 52 even has ties to the homebrew shop that would become Falling Sky in 2012. Head brewer Aaron Brussat worked there at the time and watched Falling Sky hatch.

When Scott Sieber and Aaron set out to devise a recipe, a hopped-up lager just made sense – an award-winning lager brewer and a lager-loving brewer at a hop-forward brewery.

Well, that was a mouthful, and so is Friend Krush. This newly-named hop (Krush) in combination with NZ Nectaron adds bright, whimsical aroma and flavor, while the clean lager base keeps the beer tasting like beer.

Tasting Notes

  • Aroma: Lively melon, berry, and diesel hop aromas with a hint of crackery pils malt
  • Flavor: Hop forward with a lager-like finish. Lemon zest, Flintstones vitamins, and volcanic New Zealand terroir
  • Mouthfeel: Just when you think it’s going to be an IPA, it’s a lager. Not too bitter, not too dense

Serving & Pairing Suggestions

  • Serve in: Standard Pint Glass
  • Pair With: Peaches & Cream, Chocolate & Cheese, Toast & Jam
