About This Beer
Paulaner Munich Hell Lager is a perfect example of the Helles style that has become synonymous with Bavarian brewing tradition. First brewed in 1895 as Munich’s answer to the rising popularity of golden lagers, Helles quickly established itself as the everyday drinking beer of the region. Today, Paulaner’s version remains one of the most authentic, brewed with the same care and commitment to quality that has defined the brewery since its founding in 1634.
At 4.9% ABV, this lager is light, crisp, and incredibly balanced. It embodies the idea of “sessionable” beer while retaining depth of flavour, making it as suitable for casual evenings as for larger gatherings. For anyone browsing craft beer online, Paulaner Munich Hell Lager is an excellent way to experience Bavarian brewing at its most refined.
