Brand Pilsener
Brand's pilsner follows an age-old recipe and is brewed from water, barley malt, hops and hop extract to 5.0% alcohol. It is strong in taste and soft in the finish, with a beautiful colour. The name goes back to the Brand family, who turned the old banpanhuis in Wijlre into a brewery in 1871.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Brand Pilsener
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.
