FC Pils
A hint of lemon sits on top of a simple grist of pilsner malt and corn grits, with a blend of the brewery's favorite European aroma hops shining through. Live Oak brewed this classic continental adjunct pilsner to celebrate the World Cup in Texas. It runs on draft in spring, and cans are exclusive to the taproom.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for FC 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.
