Episode 171: Deschutes Kirkland Signature Helles-Style Lager

We're back after a short break, and David drinks the Costco-exclusive Deschutes Kirkland Signature Helles-Style Lager.

Kirkland Signature Helles-Style Lager is a recipe from the Oregon-based Deschutes Brewery that won a gold medal at the 2023 Great American Beer Festival. The beer is 4.5% ABV and is a nearly perfect example of the German-inspired style that is both crisp and clean.

The Brewers Association annual ranking of the top 50 craft breweries is also out, and we talk about the biggest movers on the list. One of the headlines for David is that Rhinegeist Brewery is now the biggest brewery in Ohio, moving up to 16th overall and passing longtime champ Great Lakes. BrewDog and Fat Head's also rank as Ohio breweries in the top 50.
