Hachenburger Pils
Westerwald-Brauerei's flagship, brewed with 100% aroma hops — as they do across the whole Hachenburger lineup. The result is a Pils that leads with hop nose rather than bitterness for its own sake, held over a clean malt frame at 11.6° Stammwürze. Classical Rhineland execution, no gimmicks.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Hachenburger 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.

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.
