Community Texas Pils if you want a pilsner with backbone and grip,
Göttinger Pilsner if you want something leaner and more traditionally restrained.
Both nail the classic German pilsner formula—noble hops, crisp finish, clean malt—but Community's got a bit more substance to it. The ABV difference is negligible, same IBU, so this comes down to texture and presence on the palate.

Community Texas Pils
Community Texas Pils hits you with a denser malt sweetness than you'd expect from a 5% pilsner. There's a subtle breadiness that lingers, almost like you're getting a hint of Munich malt hiding underneath the Tettnang hops. The bitterness arrives clean but doesn't evaporate immediately—it sits there, keeping you honest. It's a pilsner that demands your attention.
Göttinger Pilsner
Göttinger Pilsner is the opposite: lean, disciplined, almost austere. The malt is barely there—just enough to frame the herbal, slightly floral hop character. Bitterness comes in sharp and leaves just as quick. There's an elegance to it that feels almost European in restraint. This is what happens when you strip a pilsner down to essentials.
