Brewed with freshly picked Cascade hops from Colorado’s Billy Goat Hop Farms and freshly kilned Oregon Cascade from Goschie Farms, this beer is a celebration of freshness, balance, and regional character.

Sensory Description:
Mountain Express glides across the palate with refreshing precision, leading with subtle notes of lemon zest and pear before unfolding into layers of soft sweetness reminiscent of cotton candy grapes. The fresh hop character shines through with bright, grassy aromatics, while the Saaz hops provide a classic, crisp backbone. The finish is clean and invigorating, with just enough bitterness to remind you it’s a pilsner built for balance and drinkability.
