FERNIE, BC – Fernie Brewing has announced the release of a new beer – named for local bike trail – that will be available on its own, as well as in the newest iteration of the brewery’s sampler pack.
Project 9 Pils is a 5% abv and 35 IBU lager that is described as follows:
Brewed right in the Canadian Rockies, Project 9 is a true Bavarian Pilsner with exceptional continental hop flavour that can only be achieved by selection of fine noble hops including the Saaz variety. The use of Munich, Pilsner and Pale western Canadian malts and time honoured brewing methods produces a clean, crisp Bavarian Pilsner that is truly transcendent.
Project 9 Pils is available now in cans at the Fernie Brewery retail store and select liquor stores in the Fernie area. A full roll-out in cans and on draught to BC and Alberta will follow soon, as will the newest edition of the Fernie Craft Collection pack featuring three cans each of Project 9 Pils, Big Caboose Red Ale, The Griz Pale Ale and Buck Wild Blonde Ale.
