Bavaria Brewery

German Pilsner·Netherlands·5% ABV·One of 489 German Pilsners in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Bavaria Pilsener's mineral and hoppy character. A clear, light-blond pilsener with a fruity character and a fresh finish, 5% ABV. It is brewed with natural mineral water, hops and barley that Bavaria malts itself, at the family-owned brewery in Lieshout, Noord-Brabant. In 1925 the brewery switched from top- to bottom-fermenting beer, and the Swinkels family has run it since 1764.
