🌍 United States · Italian Pilsner · One of 5 Italian Pilsners in hopIQ

An Italian pilsner from Alabama — the dry-hopped, floral-forward style pioneered by Birrificio Italiano and now inseparable from any brewery's serious craft-lager side. Extra-crisp Pilsner malt, aromatic noble hops, snap-dry finish. Precise, quiet, technical.

What is a Italian 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.

Finding a similar Italian Pilsner

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Italian Pilsner

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.
