Skills In Pils
Skills In Pils is the German-style pilsner in the Freigeist range, a brewery better known for reviving historical styles such as Gose and Lichtenhainer. Freigeist Bierkultur is the experimental offshoot of the Cologne brewpub Braustelle and has no brewhouse of its own, since its brewer travels Germany and the world.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Skills In 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.
