🌍 Germany · German Pilsner · One of 282 German Pilsners in hopIQ

Hannover's Herri Pils is the quiet pilsner you return to: pale gold, 4.9%, 24 IBU. Feinherb—that Franconian dry-bitter balance—comes through cleanly, with grain sweetness balanced by soft quellwater and gentle Hallertau spice. Not an event. Just reliable, session-after-session rightness.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Herrenhäuser Premium Pilsener

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

Drink fresh and cold. Pilsners do not improve with age — within 3 months of packaging is ideal.
