Mybeerbuzz .com Highlights Pyramid Subliminal State (Review)

Back in the mid 1980’s, some of the first really good beers I encountered came from Pyramid Brewing and I’m excited to see that almost 40-years later, they are still brewing new and interesting beers.  Of course I’m even more excited when a care package arrives at mybeerbuzz headquarters from Pyramid.

Today we’ll be checking out their new seasonal beer called Subliminal State. This beer started as an experimental draft-only beer brewed for Lazy Dog Restaurant locations and it will now become the spring seasonal release for Pyramid. The beer uses a 60% wheat malt in the grain bill as well as Amarillo, Citra and Denali hops. If that’s not enough fun, Pyramid also used Norweigian Kviek yeast to add a tropical boost to the beer.  Naturally I’m curious to see how this combination plays out, so off we go…
