Anyone who knows me well definitely knows that I love craft beer. And if you don't know what that is, it refers to beer that is produced by small, independent breweries using traditional brewing methods and a focus on quality, flavor, and innovation. Unlike mass-produced beers from large commercial breweries, craft beers are typically brewed in smaller batches, allowing for greater experimentation and diversity of styles.
There is no strict definition of what constitutes a craft brewery, but generally, they are characterized by their relatively small scale of production, ownership structure (often independently owned or operated), and emphasis on creativity and quality ingredients. Craft brewers often prioritize using locally sourced ingredients and may specialize in particular styles of beer, such as IPAs, stouts, or sour beers. Craft beer has gained popularity in recent years due to the emphasis on unique flavors and the artisanal approach to brewing. It has also led to a thriving community of beer enthusiasts who appreciate the craftsmanship and diversity that craft breweries offer.
Since I live and work in Texas, I've spent time getting to know several craft beer options/breweries in our great state and one of my all-time favorites is named 'Live Oak.' Live Oak Brewing Company, nestled in the heart of Texas, stands as a beacon of craftsmanship and tradition in the world of craft beer. With a dedication to time-honored brewing techniques and a passion for quality ingredients, Live Oak Brewery has become synonymous with excellence in the industry.

With each sip, Live Oak Brewery invites you to experience the soul of Texas brewing, promising a journey of flavor, camaraderie, and unforgettable moments.
And to me, one of their best products is their 'Pilz.' Live Oak Pilz is a classic Bohemian-style golden lager, decoction-mashed with a single heirloom variety Moravian malt. Premium Saaz hops combine to produce a clean, crisp pilsner with complex malt flavor and spicy hop bitterness and aroma. This is Austin’s Original Pilsner!
Styled after the Bohemian classic, Pilz is a crisp golden pilsner with an assertive hop character. With special Moravian heirloom barley malt, a traditional decoction mash creates a firm yet light body and deep golden color. Cold fermentation with a Czech lager yeast and lengthy secondary conditioning produce a brilliant beer that highlights the spicy and grassy Saaz hops. Authenticity in a glass; Pilz is beer.
For those seeking a memorable beer-drinking experience, exploring the world of craft beer is an adventure worth embarking on, and Live Oak's Pilz is fantastic. Among the myriad of options, one standout brew deserving of attention is Live Oak, a masterfully crafted beer that embodies the essence of artisanal brewing. With its intricate blend of flavors, impeccable quality, and a touch of brewing innovation, this exceptional craft beer offers an invitation to savor the artistry and passion of small-batch brewing. Whether enjoyed alone or shared amongst friends, indulging in their Pilz promises an unforgettable journey through the rich and diverse landscape of craft beer, leaving a lasting impression on the palate and igniting a newfound appreciation for the craftsmanship behind every sip.
