March brought in the snowquester and the cold so the McLean faction of the DrS Beer Club carried the theme forward with a tasting of cold fermented and cold conditioned lagers and their pilsner brethren. It was a battle that pitted Virginia (Starr Hill ‘Festie’ lager) v. Maryland (Heavy Seas Small Craft Warning Uber Pils ) v. Pennsylvania (Stoudts German Style Pilser). The gathering brought in a southern judge from the home of The Masters, but the (damn Yankee) Old Line State entry was the clear winner, with Heavy Seas taking the prize. The Heavy Seas provided a traditional light yet full pilsner taste, the second place Festie added some spice with a nice amber color, and the Stoudts plodded into third (at least according to this judge).
