Storm Brewing Precipitation Pilsner

by | Sep 18, 2014

James Walton started East Vancouver’s Storm Brewing because he wanted to drink the kind of beer he couldn’t find locally. And started his then micro-brewery with the release of the Red Sky Alt ale, which was modeled after German Alt Biers of the “Golden Years of European brewing.” That was 1995. Today, Walton, the brewmaster and owner of Storm, is known as an innovator and pioneer of the Vancouver beer scene—and stypically does so in high-heel platform boots reminiscent of David Bowie. Brews range from the rare and unique like (like an imperial red ale and a “forever” sold out black currant lambic) to approachable quaffers like the Precipitation Pilsner. Based on the northern German-style pils, this beer packs in honey malts, hay and savory herbs on the nose, with a slight twinge of hops on the back end. Flavor is a’plenty, with citrus, spice and sweet grains lingering on the palate but the beer cleans up nicely for a light, refreshing pilsner.
