Puffery: A Masterclass in Classic Helles Lager
Great Notion Brewing's Puffery is a meticulous homage to one of the beer world's most revered and time-honored styles - the Helles lager. At a sessionable 5% ABV, this crystal-clear lager showcases the artistry and precision required to craft a truly exceptional example of the style.
The malt backbone is built upon a blend of premium Pilsner and Munich malts, lending a clean, biscuity foundation that allows the hops to take center stage. The choice of Hersbrucker and Tettnanger hops imparts a subtle, refined bitterness and delicate floral and herbal notes that dance across the palate.
What sets Puffery apart is the level of care and attention that goes into every brewing process step. From selecting the finest raw materials to the meticulously controlled fermentation, Great Notion has left no stone unturned in its pursuit of lager perfection.
The result is a beer of exceptional clarity, with a soft, pillowy mouthfeel and a crisp, refreshing finish that keeps you coming back for more. This Helles lager embodies the essence of balance and drinkability - a beer that pays homage to tradition while adding a modern, artisanal twist.
Whether you're a longtime lager enthusiast or new to classic European-style beers, Puffery is a must-try. It's a masterclass in understated elegance, reminding us that sometimes the most profound pleasures come from the simplest things.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is all your inventory online?
We try to keep the store as updated as possible, but we always get new shipments. So if you don't see what you are looking for, send an email, and we'll check to see what Moose is hiding in the back room.
Why is beer available as in-store pick-up only?
Our temperature-controlled storage systems preserve beer's quality and flavor until pickup. By maintaining precise refrigeration, we protect each batch's unique characteristics and ensure customers receive the freshest possible product.
However, due to the challenges of maintaining consistent temperature during shipping, we exclusively offer in-store pickup for our craft beers.
What is the difference between Tequila & Mezcal?
Tequila is a type of mezcal, much like how scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey.
Tequila and mezcal are both types of agave-based spirits that are popular in Mexico, but there are some key differences between the two. Tequila is made exclusively from the blue agave plant, which is primarily grown in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, about 40 miles northwest of Guadalajara. Mezcal, on the other hand, can be made from any type of agave plant, and is often made using traditional, labor-intensive methods.
One of the most noticeable differences between tequila and mezcal is their flavor. Tequila is typically smooth and subtle, with hints of fruit and spices, while mezcal has a more complex, smoky flavor that comes from the roasting of the agave hearts before they are fermented and distilled.
Another difference between the two spirits is their production process. Tequila is typically made using modern industrial methods, while mezcal is often produced using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations. This can give mezcal a more authentic, artisanal character.
In general, tequila is considered to be a more refined and sophisticated spirit, while mezcal is often viewed as a more rustic and traditional drink. Both are popular in Mexico and are enjoyed around the world, so the best way to decide which one you like is to try them both and see which one suits your tastes.
