About this beer

Birra Piccola from Elder Pine Brewing & Blending Co. is an Italian-style pilsner, a limited offering brewed and canned in Gaithersburg, MD. Weighing in at 3.5% ABV, this light-bodied lager emphasizes the delicate floral character of Hallertau Blanc hops and Italian Pilsner malt. The label artwork features an intricate, vintage botanical illustration of pine cones, elegantly rendered in grayscale and highlighting the brewery’s namesake. It’s a product of the U.S.A., presented in a single 16oz can, and promises a crisp, refreshing experience focused on hop aroma and subtle malt sweetness.

The brewing process, as indicated on the label, centers around “grist” – a blend of Italian Pilsner malt and hops – showcasing a commitment to ingredient quality and traditional pilsner brewing techniques. This emphasis on a refined grain bill and carefully selected hops aims to create a nuanced pilsner, diverging from more assertive or robust examples of the style.
