Indeed's German pilsner — 5.1% ABV, 40 IBU, dry-crisp Pilsner malt with floral-noble hop character carrying the finish. Fuller than a light lager, more traditional than a Czech-Bohemian, precisely dialled between the two. Minneapolis German-brewing heritage done straight.

Crisp entry with dry, clean pilsner malt character providing a slightly fuller body than typical light lagers. The mid-palate delivers restrained noble hop bitterness at 40 IBU, balanced by gentle bready malt sweetness. Finishes dry and mineral-forward, with hop refinement lasting through the swallow.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Indeed Pils

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

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

Pilsner glass
Recommended for this style

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.
