(San Diego, CA) – Karl Strauss Brewing will release the next beer in its Coastal Reserve Series this summer.

Here is the label description for Karl Strauss Whistler Imperial Pils: “The piercing howl of the SD#1 Whistler Buoy echoes for miles, hailing ships of rocky shores ahead. Like its namesake, Whistler Imperial Pils warns and welcomes at the same time. The grassy and floral bitterness of Saaz hops warns this is no ordinary pilsner, while authentic Moravian malts provide a toasted malt balance that welcomes another sip. Finishing crisp and dry, this addition to the Coastal Reserve Series is right at home in America’s finest beer city.” 7.5% ABV.

It will join Big Barrel Double IPA as the second beer in the Coastal Reserve Series (available in 22 oz. bottles) beginning in July.

In other recent news, Karl Strauss Brewing just won its first-ever medal in GABF/WBC competition last weekend. Karl Strauss Red Trolley Ale won a gold medal in the Irish-style Red Ale category.
