Füchschen Pils

Tap to rate

Füchschen Pils has been brewed since 2017, and the brewery sees it as the start of a Düsseldorf Pils tradition of its own. Unlike the house Alt it is bottom-fermented, from several specialty malts and floral aroma hops, and pours a deep golden colour. The bitterness is pronounced and lasting, laid over a delicate, bready malt base, while floral and lightly herbal hop notes rise in the aroma. The finish is crisp, dry and clean, with the bitterness lingering on the palate.

Serve at 4–7°C

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

Pilsner glass

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?
