Do Or Do Not There Is No Try

Sawdust City Brewing

5.2% Alcohol

All you Star Wars* geeks will recognize the name of this brew. In the immortal words of Yoda (George Lucas actually) “Do or not do, there is no try.” Sawdust tells us that “a long time ago in a brewery far far away a lager was brewed for the very first time….”. Flashbacks to a corny 1977 sci-fi movie that did OK.**

This Czech Style Pils Lager (all pilsners are lagers, but not all lagers are pilsners), pours golden with a bubbly white head but no carbonation evident. It has a light malt aroma. A nice malt flavour with a bit of fizz, there are some bubbles in there after all.  Not hoppy or bitter, just malt and a bit of fizz, which faded. No graininess which sometimes comes with Czech style beers. What is left after the fizz fizzled was a nice solid and flavourful Pilsner, a cut above the big brewer pils, which is exactly what I would hope for and expect from the Sawdust team.

*Editor’s Comment: Carrie Fisher has some great stories to tell about Star Wars in her last book “The Princess Diarist”.

**Editor’s Comment: Disney bought the Star Wars franchise from Lucas for $4 Billion dollars (Disney stock and cash). Based on the current value of Disney’s stock, Lucas received $10 Billion for his little sci-fi movie ($11 million in 1977) and subsequent spinoffs and sequels (11 sequels to date). Of course that also includes merchandising, theme parks, TV shows, lunch boxes, cheap light sabre swords that only work for 10 minutes out of the box, and anything else that resembles a Wookie or a droid.
