Courtesy of Brendan McGivney, chief operating officer of Odell Brewing in Fort Collins, Colorado, here is a homebrew-scale recipe for their modern take on pilsner, featuring newly developed hop varieties. It features “an assertive yet clean bitterness to balance the rounded maltiness,” McGivney says. “A refreshing brewer’s beer!”
