🌍 United States · German Pilsner · One of 178 German Pilsners in hopIQ

Breakside's unfiltered German-style pilsner — Pilsner malt imported from Germany, hops from the Hallertau, natural cold lagering rather than filtration. Bright golden, dense floral-noble hop nose, snap-crisp finish. Not a craft pilsner using shortcuts — a proper one done the way the country of origin does it. Portland with a Munich heart.

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.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Breakside Pilsner

Serve at 4–7°C
Refrigerate, then rest 2 min

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

Pilsner glass
Recommended for this style

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.
