Berliner Bürgerbräu Pils
The pils of the former Berliner Bürgerbräu from Friedrichshagen has been brewed in Hohenschönhausen since the brand's sale to Radeberger in 2010 and is found mainly on draught in Berlin beer gardens and pubs. It is a bottom-fermented pilsner at 5 percent. The colour is a yellow-gold slightly deeper than other local pils, under a creamy white head. The entry is lightly malty and soft, with a gentle malt fruitiness. The hop comes through in the finish as a floral, lightly spicy note rather than a sharp bitterness.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Berliner Bürgerbräu Pils
Serve well-chilled at 4–6°C for maximum crispness. A pilsner served too warm loses its defining snap.
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.

What is a German Pilsner?
Pilsners are crisp golden lagers with 4–5.5% ABV and IBU 25–45. Defined by spicy, floral Saaz hops over a light malt backbone — bright carbonation and a dry bitter finish.
