Welcome to Guruofbrew.com, MoRE Brewing of Huntley, Villa Park, and Bartlett, Illinois. I have to ask: are you Billy Idol's favorite brewery? I mean, in the midnight hour, she cried MoRE, MoRE, MoRE and all that. That was running through my mind as I enjoyed my first MoRE beer, Take One Down German Style Pilsner.
I picked up a can of this beer recently from Half Time, MoRE beers not being available here in Georgia. It was the perfect first beer of the night, and a perfect refresher on a hot north Georgia evening. I went on over to the MoRE website, and for descriptions of their beer, they just link to Untappd.
MoRE Take One Down Pilsner has an alcohol content of 5.1% by volume. My can had no freshness dating, but I bought it on May 23rd and drank it on July 5th. I don't think I have ever had a beer brewed in collaboration with a liquor store before, but Take One Down takes its name from the partnership. You know, from the song? Ninety-nine bottles of beer on the wall, take one down, pass it around? Yeah, you know that song.

Tasting Notes
MoRE Take One Down Pilsner pours to a pale straw color with a thick fluffy white head and a nose of crisp biscuity malt. Taking a sip, the beer is loaded with the crisp biscuity malt up front, just as the nose promised. It's like chewing a handful of freshly kilned pilsner malt. The hops quickly pop, earthy grassy, gently lemony, and depositing a long dry lingering bitterness.
Value & Verdict
I paid $3.49 for a pint can from Half Time, which is pretty darned cheap for a single these days.
An excellent German-style pilsner indeed, and I will say it: the MoRE I drink, the MoRE I like.
