Moody Tongue Brewery, Chicago, released two new beers: Peeled Grapefruit Pilsner and an Aperitif Pilsner.
They are the first beers to be added to the brewery’s distributed portfolio in over 12 months and are said to be suited perfectly for summer dishes about to hit restaurant menus and alongside the coming grilling season at home.
The champagne-colored Peeled Grapefruit Pilsner carries the flavors of a refreshing grapefruit sorbet alongside the aromatics of a pink grapefruit. The light, refreshing Apertif Pilsner showcases the beauty and simplicity of the well-regarded style of a traditional German Pilsner, with the aromatics of a freshly baked French baguette and flavor notes of a croissant. Summer-centric dishes which pair exceptionally well with both Pilsners include ceviche, grilled salmon, elote, as well as desserts like strawberry shortcake.
Moody Tongue’s Peeled Grapefruit Pilsner and Aperitif Pilsner will both be available in bottles and on draft at select retailers and restaurants, as well as in Moody Tongue’s Tasting Room. Following the Chicago launch, both Pilsners will be available in Moody Tongue’s select additional culinary markets including San Francisco, Las Vegas, Shanghai, Beijing, Louisville, Houston, and Birmingham.
