In a craft beer world often dominated by triple-IPAs and dessert stouts loaded with adjuncts, there is nowhere for a brewer to hide when making a Pilsner. It is the ultimate test of brewing technique and Black Raven Brewing has passed that test with flying colors.
If you’re looking for your next go-to pint, here is why the Black Raven Brewing’s Pilsner deserves a permanent spot in your beer drinking rotation.
A Feast for the Craft Beer Senses
From the moment you see it in the glass, you know you’re in for something special. It boasts a stunning golden hue that catches the light, promising the kind of refreshment that only a cold lager can provide.
But it’s the balance that truly sets this brew apart:
The Malt: You’re greeted with a subtle, bready malt sweetness that provides a smooth foundation.
The Snap: Just as the malt settles, a snappy hop bitterness sweeps in to clean the palate.
The Finish: It’s crisp, clean, and incredibly lean, leaving you reaching for the next sip before the first one has even settled.
Perfection in Every Sip
This isn’t just another light beer; it’s a masterclass in the style. Black Raven Brewing has leaned into the philosophy that simplicity is perfection. By focusing on high-quality ingredients and precise fermentation, they’ve created a beer that is approachable for the casual drinker but sophisticated enough for the most seasoned cicerone.
“Sometimes, the most complex thing to achieve is a beer that tastes this effortless.”
Why Wee Love This Black Raven Brewing Pilsner
Whether you’re firing up the grill, finishing a long hike, or just unwinding after a Tuesday at the office, this Pilsner fits the vibe. It doesn’t demand your undivided attention with overwhelming flavors; instead, it complements every moment with its refined, balanced profile.

If you’re a fan of craft beers that drink like a gourmet experience, you’ll love the Big Block Chocolate Porter. In a world of over-the-top pastry stouts and sugary brews, finding a porter that balances decadence with drinkability is a rare treat.
Here is why this Big Block Brewing brew is on the "Wee Savor" list.

There is a specific kind of magic that happens when a capacity crowd gathers in the same building and all hold their breath at once. Wee were at the Queen Anne Beerhall for the Seahawks Week 18 regular-season finale, and the air was thick, not just with the smell of giant pretzels and grilled bratwurst, but with the pure, unadulterated tension of a winner-take-all showdown. The stakes? The NFC West title, the #1 seed, and a first-round bye.
The Seahawks didn’t just win. They reminded the league exactly who we are.

After a couple of days on the road in early December, wee weren`t quite ready to go home and found ourselves at 5 Rights Brewing in Marysville. Wee weren`t looking for a quick light lager, or a heavy BBA, instead wee ordered up a couple of glasses of their 3rd Street Sunrise Imperial IPA.
The Pour: More Than Just a Craft Beer
When you’re coming off the road, your senses are dull. You’ve seen too many grey overpasses and the karaoke from the night before still lingers in your mind. But when the bartender set that tulip glass down, the color alone felt like a wake-up call.
True to its name, the 3rd Street Sunrise glows with a deep, vibrant orange hue; a liquid version of that precise moment the sun clears the horizon. It’s unfiltered and bold, topped with a frothy head that looks like morning mist.
