Without a doubt, pils (also called 'pilsner') is Germany's favourite style of beer. Fans of this style of brewing enjoy the dry, bitter flavour and light colour that is typical of the beers it produces. The name originates from the Bohemian town of Pilsen in the Czech Republic, where it was first produced in 1842, and Bitburger been brewing this style of beer to perfection in Bitburg since 1883. In fact, they used the term "Pilsener" as an official designated beer style in Germany, way back in 1883.

And over the years it's grown extremely popular - throughout Germany and around the world.

This straw-coloured pilsner is crystal-clear and perfectly hopped, boasting a light taste and a lasting foam head with extra-fine bubbles. This all combines for a moment of pure pilsner enjoyment.

This gracefully slender pilsner combines intense flavor with a light elegance.
