WHITEFISH, Mont. -- Black Star Beer, a double-hopped golden lager from The Great Northern Brewing Co., Whitefish, Mont., has announced the release of 24-ounce cans. Black Star Beer 24-ounce cans will be distributed throughout Montana, Washington, Oregon, California and Nevada, primarily at leading national convenience stores.
Black Star Beer is a traditional European-style Pilsner beer made with both Bavarian Mittelfruh and Czech Saaz hops and two-row malting barley. This craft lager is hopped first in the kettle and then again before finishing to create a full-bodied [image-nocss] lager flavor.
"The Black Star 24-ounce can is the ultimate single package," said Minott Wessinger, founder of Black Star Beer. "You're getting a refreshing lager with great flavor available at stores conveniently located near you. It's the perfect way to introduce Black Star to consumers looking to try a new beer."
The Black Star 24-ounce can retails for $1.99.
Black Star Beer will be hitting the road this spring in its vintage Airstream for a promotional tour through San Francisco, Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle, Montana and Las Vegas, visiting festivals, events and other places. The Airstream is equipped with a photobooth machine that automatically uploads to Facebook and email.
Black Star Double-Hopped Golden Lager was first brewed in Whitefish at Great Northern Brewing in 1995. The beer was created by Minott Wessinger, a fifth-generation brewer and great-great grandson of West Coast brewing pioneer Henry Weinhard.
