Meinel Pils
Meinel-Bräu has brewed Pils to the same recipe for over a century — a feat that says something about clarity of purpose. Golden and lively, it arrives with herbal Hallertau notes and a bone-dry finish that cuts clean through the malt. At 40 IBU it's genuinely hoppy, not a whisper, and exactly what a traditional German Pilsner should promise.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Meinel 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.
