Essential Product and Producer Details

Bitburger Premium Pils is one of Germany’s most celebrated lagers — a 4.8% ABV pilsner that’s crisp, clean, and brewed in accordance with the German Beer Purity Law. This classic pils delivers a refined hop bitterness balanced by a smooth malt profile, making it a favourite in both its homeland and abroad.

Brewed by Bitburger Brauerei, a family-owned brewery established in 1817 in Bitburg, Germany, the beer is made using the brewery’s own pure spring water, locally sourced barley, and Bitburger’s proprietary hop blend — including the exclusive “Bitburger Siegelhopfen” (seal hops), grown just for them in the Hallertau region.

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Pale golden with brilliant clarity and a persistent, foamy white head

• Aroma: Fresh herbal hops, light malt, subtle grassy and floral notes

• Flavour: Clean, balanced pilsner profile with crisp bitterness and a subtle malty backbone

• Mouthfeel: Light-bodied, lively carbonation, and a refreshing, dry finish

Food Pairings

Bitburger Premium Pils pairs effortlessly with a wide variety of dishes:

• German Cuisine: Sausages, schnitzel, and pretzels

• Fried Foods: Fish and chips, calamari, onion rings

• Grilled Meats: Pork skewers, burgers, BBQ chicken

• Seafood: White fish, crab cakes, mussels
