This year's Cosmic Ballet is a French Pilsner with Oak (4.2% ABV)—a crisp, refreshing beer created through the collaboration of Charlotte's brewing community to celebrate Dan's passion for great beer, mentorship, and bringing people together. This French Pilsner highlights a collaboration of ideas and ingredients. The malt, Wade Helles malt from Epiphany Malt House, adds an elegant body that has light toasted bread character and works with the lightly toasted French oak the beer was briefly rested on. French hops add an herbal balance without overpowering the delicate malt character.
