Windward Export Pilsner, a collaboration with Astoria’s Buoy Beer Company. In early October Buoy Head Brewer Kevin Shaw made the trip down to Bend with a keg of Buoy’s lager yeast and to assist in brewing what will become Windward Export Pilsner. This 6% ABV export strength pilsner was hopped with Oregon grown Santiam and German Perle and Tettnang hops. Windward Export Pils is lagered on French oak spirals for three weeks before additional lagering in stainless for another 3 weeks.
