Home Brew Recipe - Bohemian Rhapsody Pilsner

This well-crafted pilsner will be the envy of all brewers with pleasing operatic nuances of noble hops supported by European malt of the highest quality. 'Sazzed' up and looking for a good time, Bohemian Rhapsody will have you doing the Fandango all night long!
