THIS JOURNEY IS NOW COMPLETE! This was a challenge I undertook from Feb 2011 to Feb 2012. Thanks to everyone that kept me going! Feel free to read through and comment, I am now also periodically adding reviews here as I sample other beers that I did not come across during the challenge.

Bootleg Beer Wils Pils
Great.
Another Pilsner.
A reluctant sigh was emitted when this was the beer on the menu tonight, as going through a challenge to drink 365 beers in a year involves the best and the worst of times. Many of the worst seem to involve a watery Pilsner.
This particular offering is from Bootleg Beer from WA. After some very unthorough research I didn't find out much info on them/it, apart from a claim this lager is brewed with rain water.
While not being as exciting as a blindfolded cage fight between Chuck Norris and a Kodiak bear, it is a surprisingly tasty beer. It's still a Pilsner, so the volume is turned down, but the floral tones and slightly malty body are mated with a clean but sturdy feel.
I suppose sometimes, you might argue that a barely audible volume is still better than that fuckhead on the train playing Euro trance loud enough to wake Helen Keller.
One of the better Pilsners I've drunk, extremely easy to down and a good example of the genre.
7.5/10
