Tucher Pilsener

Tap to rate

Nürnberg has been brewing for over 350 years, and Tucher's Pils carries that tradition lightly. Brewed with Hallertau Tradition hops and the city's soft well water, it pours clear pale gold — feinherb, the Franconian word for dry-bitter, is exactly right here. Clean malt backbone, a herbal-spicy hop note, and a long dry finish that makes the next sip inevitable.

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.
