Chuckanut Brewing's seasonal classic Helles Lager is here to save what's left of summer. Usually available in July, like all things the Helles was delayed by the pandemic but will now be a welcome change of pace for the seasonal series of pumpkin ales, oktoberfest bier's and fresh hops. Also in 2020, Chuckanut Helles Lager is finally available in the pacific northwest in 500ml bottles.

More from a press release:

Helles is the favorite beer of many craft beer lovers for it’s naked beauty, real bier flavors, super drinkable and beautiful to look at attributes. This is the Munich style beer that’s served year-round in liter mugs because you just can’t get enough of it! A beautiful, sparkling yellow gold lager with fresh biscuit aromas, and just enough Nobel hops added for a sublime balance.

Chuckanut Helles Lager has a well-developed bready flavor that rewards the drinker with a subtle, elegant maltiness and restrained bitterness. Brewed with a gentle, sure touch, Helles Lager is the “go to” beer all day long. Excellent with any seafood, salad or lighter meat dishes for pure perfection.
