Trail Nelson

Our Crushable German Pilsner gets dry hopped with Nelson hops creating notes of grassy citrus, crisp white wine, and dank berries. Following primary fermentation, this carefully managed batch of Trail received a judicious dose of Nelson Sauvin hops, a unique variety of hop developed and grown in New Zealand.

Trail Nelson once again proves that a dry-hop isn't always an aggressive endeavor. Our zippy, clean German Pilsner is the perfect canvas for Nelson's singular profile. Hovering above a mountain of sticky foam are notes of sweet lychee, sauvignon blanc grape, and tart passionfruit. Proof that a dry hop can be vivid without being loud.

A Trail to the other side of the world. Trail Nelson is our snappy German-style Pils dry-hopped with hand-selected Nelson hops. We love the dichotomy of the sweet aromas of white grape and tropical fruit that give way to a crisp lager and a dry floral finish. It's so juicy you might think it doesn’t adhere to the Reinheitsgebot. These are some of the best beers that we make.

Trail Nelson in a custom-embossed Tree House dimple mug - whoa! Our dry-hopped Trail series is the ultimate canvas for hop expression, setting aside milky decadence in favor of pointed elegance. Here you'll enjoy notes of passion fruit, citrus, and hints of mango with a firm but short-lasting bitterness. It's a beautiful thing. #productphotography #productphotodaily #photography #craftbeer #treehousebrewing #beergram #beerstagram #beersandcameras #beerlover #beerbeerbeer #beerme #beergeek #beertography #beernerd #fujifilm #gfx100II @fujifilmx_us @profoto
