🌍 Italy · German Pilsner · One of 201 German Pilsners in hopIQ

One of Europe's most celebrated pilsners — Tipopils ('Type Pils') is the beer that Agostino Arioli has spent 30 years obsessing over. Aggressively dry-hopped with Hallertau Mittelfrueh at multiple stages for an extraordinary fresh hop aroma: herbal, spicy and floral over a crisp, clean malt base with a long, dry bitter finish. Repeatedly awarded as a world-class pilsner by the European Beer Star and other international judging panels.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Tipopils

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.
