Beer Alternatives
hopIQ found 10 beers with the same clean and smooth-drinking character as Stauder Helles Bierchen. The Helles in the Stauder line-up carries Franconian DNA — founder Theodor Stauder brought the recipes with him from Franconia to the Ruhr in 1867. Slightly more gravity and alcohol than the Pils, softer at the front, more drinkable in the finish. Not as bread-warm as a Munich Helles, but cleaner in the malt profile. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
