ABOUT CELEBRATOR BEER NEWS
Celebrator Beer News began as a quarter-fold tabloid “Brewspaper” in January, 1988. It was the first publication in the country to focus exclusively on “microbrewed,” or what we now call “craft,” beer. Its original focus was on the craft beers and breweries of California but its circulation expanded to the Pacific Northwest and then to the Rocky Mountains and beyond. Today, the Celebrator’s 55,000 print run is distributed worldwide. Our 50+page bimonthly color magazine can be found at breweries, brewpubs, select pubs, alehouses and restaurants, prime retail accounts, homebrew supply shops, beer festivals, and other beer-related outlets.
ABOUT TRUMER PILS
The Trumer Brewery was established in 2004 in Berkeley, California and is a sister brewery to the centuries-old Trumer Brauerei in Salzburg, Austria. Trumer Pils has been refined and perfected since 1601 but is celebrated as a local craft pilsner allowing beer drinkers in the US to enjoy the beer the way it was meant to be: fresh. This hand-crafted pilsner remains true to style and focuses on four main ingredients: water, malt, yeast and hops. Trumer Pils’ quality has been recognized by being awarded eleven Gold Medal wins over the past fourteen years at the most prestigious beer competitions in the world and has made Trumer the most awarded craft pilsner in the US. Trumer Pils stands in a class of its own. For more information, please visit www.trumer-international.com or follow along at @trumerpilsusa on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.
