This week on The Best Beer I Drank This Week, Brian Campbell from the Buffalo Beer League cracks open a new collab between Wayland Brewing and Moriarty Meats: La Bière, a crisp and flavorful French-style Pilsner brewed with Strisselspalt hops.

Brian shares tasting notes, brewing details, and his experience exploring this lesser-known style for the first time. With its light floral aroma, subtle citrus sweetness, and biscuity malt backbone, La Bière lands at a super drinkable 4.5% ABV—ideal for warm weather and beer gardens alike.
