NextLevel Pulsar Nextlevel
WBrC 2026 Runner-Up
Simon Gautherin's runner-up routine from the 2026 World Brewers Cup in Brussels. A short immersion on the Pulsar, then an open-valve drain aimed at a precise yield — built to serve a clean yellow-and-orange flavour spectrum with as little as possible getting in the way.
