Budels Pilsener
A golden pilsner with a malty note, the showpiece of Budelse Brouwerij, a family brewery in Budel since 1870. It is bottom-fermented, comes in at 5 % and is brewed to a family recipe the brewery keeps secret, from carefully selected raw materials and brewing water from wells in Brabant.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Budels 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.
