I sat down with the 101’s brewer Chris Booth to discuss their celebrated Pilsner.

'Easy Livin' is one of the few pilsners that I buy regularly. What can you tell me about it? What makes it special?

The recipe is a clean, Czech/ German style Pils. Nicely balanced with a light body – more hops than your average lager but not overbearingly so. Old world Hops are present but with a mix of some newer varietals, largely Hallertau Blanc and Madarina Bavaria. It’s a crushable session beer, great for a campfire or after the hockey game. At 4.7% its considered a light alcohol beverage which is trending.

What is with the name?

Named after country music star, Daniel Wesley’s Song ‘Easy Livin’
