Trumer Pils is a pilsner beer from Austria,[2] originally sold almost exclusively in the federal state of Salzburg. A brewery in Berkeley, California, was built in 2004 to provide beer for the U.S. market.

Trumer is characterized by hoppy bitterness, high carbonation and a light body and is brewed according to the German Reinheitsgebot.

History

Trumer Brauerei has been brewing beer for 400 years in Austria. Pilsner beer was first brewed in 1842 in the city of Plzeň (German: Pilsen) in Bohemia, today the Czech Republic.

After opening a brewery in Berkeley, Trumer Pils became widely available in the San Francisco Bay Area in addition to its native Austria, the result of a partnership between Privatbrauerei Josef Sigl and the Gambrinus Company. All ingredients used in Berkeley are shipped from Austria with the exception of the water which is from the High Sierras. Hops used in the recipe include Czech Saaz, German Hallertau Perle, and Spalt Select. Trumer is aged six weeks prior to bottling.[1][3]
