RHYMES WITH TREAT
We don’t like to brag, but this is no ordinary Pilsner. It’s even won a few awards. From the Dutch for ‘minor stream’, the name is a nod to our flagship brewery in Brooklyn near the Gowanus Canal. Clean and aromatic, complex yet crisp. You don’t have to pronounce it to enjoy it.

Vliet comes from the Dutch for minor stream, which is what the Gowanus Canal would have been when New York was once called New Amsterdam. A hybrid of styles, the beer has the body of a Czech lager and the crisp balance of a German Pilsner. Pilsner began in 1842 in a small town called Plzeň, and has dominated the globe since. Vliet is our interpretation of the style.

Threes' flagship Czech-style pilsner is excellent and I say this as a pilsner snob.

Just delicious, crisp, bready goodness. Very few beers better to sit outside and enjoy.

What a delightful beer. Crisp, grassy, bready, delicious. Hard to pass up if it's ever offered.

Vliet is my goto beer now. Love it! More body than other pilsners and even has a slight haze to it.
Tyler N.
Such a great pilsner, always a joy to drink and so happy it's always available around town
Joseph S.
Great beer!
Dan M.
Just a perfect pilsner. Crisp. Light. Easily crushable. By the time you're done drinking it you barely notice you've finished the can. Couldn't imagine what my fridge would be without Vliet, but I just know it would be sad.

An exquisite Pils. It hit all the right notes. It was crisp and hoppy, just how a Pils should be! Well crafted and perfectly executed!

Just a really good standard go-to that is light, drinkable, flavorful, and enjoyable. I almost always have some in my fridge and can't imagine what my fridge would look like without any!
Clare P.
One of our favorites! Such an easy-drinking, tasty beer.
Dan S.
Highly drinkable, low ABV day beer. Clean & crisp like a good Pils should be. Would be perfect with just a tad more flavor pop.

What more can be said about this beer. An NYC staple. Does everything a Pilsner ought to do and nothing it shouldn’t. A nice noble hop blend of herbaceous citrus. Pop of bitterness. Clean and crispy.

Herbal and light hop nose, w/ a super clean and flavorful body. Finishes hoppy, herbal, and crisp. A great representation of the style, and one of the best Pilsners I've had in years! Untappd rating of 4.50 from me.

I normally gravitate towards IPA’s (and Threes has some great ones), but Vliet may be my favorite Threes brew. It’s an exceptional pilsner and perfect for the summer months in NYC.
Carolina A.
Perfect Pilsner for anytime!
William R.
Next time give me a heads up on the blubbering tears of joy I experienced. It kept watering down my beer.
Zachary S.
A great ny pils
Arnaud M.
Threes' lagers are consistently excellent. This one here is their flagship. Rest assured.
Adam L.
This is a beautiful Pilsner. Delicate flavors come together to form a complex yet subtle lager that I think any craft beer drinker should take to their backyard with a lawn chair for some amazingly crushable, balanced, and subtly hoppy sunbathing. Noble hop aromas draw me into taking literal gulps of this low ABV crusher, with a complex and faint hoppy bite on the back end. Fantastic German pils.
Courtney R.
Can’t get enough! Even the pup loves it! Best table beers!
james l.
Tasty
Eric B.
Ordered through nys shipping, the Vliet is now my favorite Pilsner in the world! It’s crispness and herbaceous retro nasal experience evoke pure joy and delight! Cheers!
Caleb F.
The Vliet (Pilsner) came recommended by my dear beer connoisseur friend - and it didn't disappoint!
I found it refreshing, yet dry - an easy-drinking beer for the sun, green grass and shade.
Amy R.
This Pilsner is an old standby, is super refreshing and extremely drinkable!
Andrew B.
Client and Braven Pilsner are my two top summer beers. Crisp, light yet still hoppy enough. So when I found I could order Vliet to my upstate lockdown bunker, it was an easy call. One minor gripe, one of the two cases I ordered was poorly packed and three cans exploded before it got here. But I’m savoring each of the ones that made it!
Kevin K.
Scrumptious
Mark M.
Super refreshing, perfect beer to drink on a warm day
sofia b.
