Altöttinger Pilger-Bier is brewed according to an old family recipe inspired by the rich history and traditions of Altötting, one of Germany's most important pilgrimage sites for almost 1,200 years. As an unfiltered lager, this beer retains more of its natural character, resulting in a slightly hazy appearance and a fuller mouthfeel compared with filtered lagers. On the palate, it delivers smooth malt flavours, gentle grain notes and a refreshing hop character that creates a beautifully balanced drinking experience. The natural yeast and unfiltered brewing process add extra depth and texture, while the clean finish ensures this remains a highly refreshing and approachable lager.

The brewery's commitment to quality and tradition can be tasted in every bottle of Pilger-Bier, a beer that celebrates both local history and Bavarian brewing expertise.

Brewed in Germany, this beer represents a country renowned worldwide for its exceptional brewing culture, attention to detail and centuries of expertise. German beers are celebrated for their quality, balance and incredible variety, from crisp pilsners and smooth Helles lagers to traditional unfiltered beers like Pilger-Bier.

As one of the classic Lager Beers, this unfiltered style offers a more traditional interpretation of lager brewing.
