Italian Pilsner

Italian Pilsner is a light lager often described as a dry-hop version of German Pilsner, characterized by its distinct hop aromas while maintaining a clean and smooth finish. This style originated with Birrificio Italiano and Tipopils beer, first brewed by Agostino Arioli in 1996, and quickly influenced many craft breweries worldwide. Italian Pilsner emphasizes balance and restraint: the light malt base supports the hops, rather than overpowering them. The core difference lies in the dry-hopping with European Noble hops, bringing notes of fresh grass and herbs, along with a subtle, addictive bitterness—enough to confirm that this is more than just a simple hop-enhanced Pilsner.
