Beer review: Perlenbacher Pilsener (4.7% Germany: Brasserie Champigneulles)


The Perlenbacher Pilsener is a pilsner made by the supermarket chain Lidl. It's supposedly brewed by Brasserie Champigneulles, a French brewery which is part of the TCB Beverages group based in Frankfurt Germany. Since it's a product by Lidl, I marked the beer under Germany although it might be brewed in France. It's a bulk lager, but it's one of the more quality beers of Lidl. That's not saying much but let's try it out!

Taste: The Perlenbacher Pilsener is a light-bodied beer with a herbal, light malty body. It finishes with a faint bitter hoppiness.

Overall, the Perlenbacher Pilsener is what you would expect it to be. It's an OK beer and relatively good for its price, but it doesn't offer anything impressive. If you want a cheap bulk beer with quite easy drinkability, this might be your choice. If you're looking for a tasting experience, the Perlenbacher Pilsener doesn't really offer one.

  2. I enjoy the 50cl cans of Perlenbacher, brewed in France according to the Rheinheitsgebot purity law of 1516. It costs less than 90p a tin in UK, and has a pleasant Pilsner Urquell-like bitterness. I think it's a great beer for the price, much cheaper than bottled Perlenbacher. My only complaint is that it does taste a bit gassy when first poured, although the gassiness dissipates after a few minutes. Great value beer!
