Orlison Brewing
The brewery formerly known as Golden Hills Brewing still pumps out the delicious lagers you’ve come to love, like Clem’s Gold (a personal favorite). Brewmaster Bernie Düenwald, who focuses exclusively on brewing lagers and not ales, is quick to point out –with tongue in cheek– the unfiltered prejudice of the term ale trail. FYI, part of the reason they changed the brewery’s name is because of concerns that the previous name conjured images of retirement centers and cemeteries. Bernie is perhaps as knowledgeable about grain as any brewery you will ever meet: he spent many years working in the barley business.
Be sure to try the Havanüther (have another), a light Pilsner. This sparkling, clean, tasty brew is what those Big Beer brands could be, if they cared at all about trying to produce good beer.
