Beer Birthday: Lars Larson

September 15, 2021 By Jay Brooks 1 Comment

trumer
Today is the 55th birthday of Lars Larson, brewmaster of Trumer Brauerei in Berkeley, California. Larsen studied brewing in Germany and was the perfect person to recreate Trumer Pils in the United States, one of the best pilsners made in California, or indeed anywhere, foreign or domestic. I got to know Lars much better several years ago, when we were both invited to judge a beer competition in Santiago, Chile, and he’s a very thoughtful brewer, and great fun to hang out with. Join me in wishing Lars a very happy birthday.

    Lars,

    Without me knowing him or his kindness Lars just bought me two Pilsners here at Beaches at PDX.
    My friend Hans has a sign on one side of the bar and I on the other. We both exclusively drink Trumer.
    Just wish I had had a chance to say Hi to Lars ? Thank You !!!
