And Drink by the Light of the Moon . . .
Hot summer night. Backyard patio. Full moon. Mediterranean fare. Beer was not the focus. The big pale orb in the sky and the wonderful feta and olives and hummus on our table were.
So we were looking for something light, refreshing, simple, easy. Yep, a pilsner fit the bill.
I’m not a regular pilsner drinker, but the one I stumbled on at Trader Joe’s was exactly what this summer moment needed. This particular pilsner is simply known as Bottle #3 in a limited edition (LTD) series of beers that Full Sail Brewing is producing in celebration of their 21st birthday.

Light, refreshing, in the spirit of a true European pilsner, but elevated just a notch in terms of the fruit and hops. A small group we were, but we had no problem drinking every last drop in the 6-pack while basking in the shadow of the moon.
