HAL Pils will be served in a commemorative can adorned with the iconic Jan van Beers poster of 1898. The poster features a woman in a nautical-blue dress and striped, white hat that mirrors the funnels of the Holland America Line steamship she’s holding above her head.
“A special-edition brew in a beautiful collector’s can is the perfect way to mark our 150th anniversary,” said Anthony Stice, vice president of dining and beverage operations for Holland America Line, in a press release. “There’s no better way to honor our past and celebrate our present than to choose a classic beer style like a Pilsner that’s having a resurgence in the craft beer world. It’s clean, refreshing, and crisp and our guests are really going to enjoy this exclusive production.”
According to a press release from Holland America, HAL Pils is a zesty, bright and refreshingly hoppy brew made with Mosaic Hops from the Yakima Valley in Washington state.
The commemorative 150th anniversary Pilsner will be available in all bars and restaurants fleetwide starting in January 2023. Six-packs will also be available for purchase in the shipboard shops.
