Behind the beer:
Bippity Boppidy Italian Pilsner
A Crisp, Elegant Pilsner with an Italian Twist
When we’re in the mood for a beer that’s both crisp and complex, Bippity Boppidy Italian Pilsner from Simple Machine Brewing is always at the top of our list. This Italian-style pilsner, with an ABV of 4.7%, offers a refreshing twist on the classic pilsner style by incorporating Italian hops, which give it a unique, slightly floral and herbal character. The beer pours a bright golden color with a clean, clear appearance and a frothy white head, which sets the stage for a clean, crisp drinking experience. It’s the kind of beer that’s perfect for those moments when we want a lager that’s both easy-drinking and packed with subtle flavor.
From the very first sip, Bippity Boppidy impresses us with its perfectly balanced malt sweetness and the light, zesty bitterness from the hops. The pilsner malt offers a clean, biscuity base that’s complemented by delicate floral and grassy notes from the Italian Saaz hops, giving it a crisp and refreshing finish. What we love most is how the hop bitterness builds slowly, creating a dry finish that leaves us wanting more. Unlike some more traditional pilsners, the unique hop profile of this Italian version adds a complexity that elevates the overall flavor, making it an intriguing yet accessible option for anyone looking to enjoy a flavorful lager.
Another reason we keep reaching for Bippity Boppidy Italian Pilsner is how well it pairs with a variety of foods. Its light body and crisp finish make it an ideal match for dishes like fresh seafood, grilled vegetables, or a classic charcuterie board. We also find it pairs excellently with more savory fare like crispy fried chicken or a juicy burger. The beer’s clean profile and delicate bitterness make it incredibly versatile, whether we’re enjoying a casual meal with friends or savoring a more refined dish. Simple Machine Brewing has crafted a pilsner that’s both refreshing and flavorful, making Bippity Boppidy a standout choice for those who appreciate a lager with a little extra flair. If you're a fan of pilsners or simply looking for something new to try, this one is a must.
