Looks like a nice place and nice tap list too. I don't know Pivo Pils. I'll have to try it sometime. I would guess its great since I haven't had a bad beer from them. When I'm somewhere offering FW beer I usually go for the Union Jack or another hoppy offering of theirs. I would have hit that cask EPA myself.

Yeah, the Union Jack is excellent and their line of beers has been great all the way around. I think the Pivo is new(ish) but it looks to be available in bottles so maybe you'll see it at your favorite bottle shop. I need to make a beer like this... a gold, hoppy lager.
I saw it at Binney's when I was down there over Thanksgiving. Problem is all the FW stuff at Binney's (went to the one on the NW side and the one in Naperville) was 5-6 months old, including the Pivo Pils, but excepting the Union Jack which had only been in the bottle for about 2.5 weeks. Sold!

Yeah, I would have taken the Union Jack in that case too. I was just watching a vid of theirs and it occurs to me that this Pils would be their one and only lager unless I missed something. They have a lot of English beers, pale ales, IPAs, etc. but I have never seen them do a lager. It's either a departure for them or [gasp!] could they have made this Pivo Pils with ale yeast at cool temps?!?!? I'm not speculating at all but it seems strange for a historically ale-based brewery to do a lager. Just thinking out loud. Cheers!I saw it at Binney's when I was down there over Thanksgiving.
