Schell's German-style pilsner, first brewed in 1984 — 100% barley malt and Sterling hops, no adjuncts, no shortcuts. Bright straw, dense head, floral-noble hop bitterness that carries the whole beer, dry-crisp finish. The oldest German-family brewery in America doing what they've done for six generations.

About German Pilsner

Style guide · what to expect · how to find alternatives

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.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Schell's 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.
