Murauer Pils

Tap to rate

Pale yellow in the glass, pleasantly hop-bitter, with a restrained malt note and a fresh, slim, balanced character: fine aroma hops give this Pils its stamp. It comes from the Murau cooperative brewery, where beer has been made since 1495, and is brewed from water, barley malt and hops at 5.1% ABV. The brewery belongs to no international group.

Serve at 4–7°C

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

Pilsner glass

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.
