Teutsch Pils

Tap to rate

The name goes back to Heinrich Härle of Brauhaus Aulendorf, who in 1901 was among the first brewers in Germany to make a hoppy, bitter pils; it travelled on ocean steamers and was served aboard the Zeppelin. Today's beer opens fresh and lively, then turns classically bitter on the second sip, carried by a noble aroma-hop note. Original gravity is 11.3 °P.

◐ Taste

The palate arrives fresh and lively, with a refined bitterness that unfolds on the second sip. This classic Pilsner bite is carried by the distinctive noble-hop character and dry grain foundation, building gradually rather than striking abruptly. The finish remains dry and hop-forward without harsh edges.

Serve at 4–7°C

Serve well-chilled at 4–6°C for maximum crispness. A pilsner served too warm loses its defining snap.

Pilsner glass

The tall, narrow pilsner glass preserves carbonation and showcases the golden clarity that defines the style.

Drink fresh and cold. Pilsners do not improve with age — within 3 months of packaging is ideal.
