Zoiglhaus Brewing Co. Zoigl-Pils: A Crisp German Classic, Portland-Brewed

If you crave a pilsner that’s clean, snappy, and refreshingly authentic, Zoiglhaus Brewing Co.’s Zoigl-Pils is as true to its roots as they come. Brewed in the spirit of the Northern German style, it’s dry, crisp, and wonderfully hoppy. This is a masterclass in simplicity done perfectly. This is a beer built for those who appreciate precision, balance, and craftsmanship in every glass.

Crafted the German Way – Right in Portland

Hailing from Portland’s German-inspired Zoiglhaus Brewing Co., Zoigl-Pils showcases the brewery’s deep respect for tradition and technical mastery. This isn’t your average American-style pilsner; it’s a Northern German take that delivers snappy bitterness and floral aroma with a lightning-clean finish. German Herkules and Hallertauer Mittelfrüh hops shine here, giving the beer its vibrant personality. Herkules hops add firm bitterness and herbal spice, while Hallertauer hops lend delicate floral, grassy notes and a touch of noble earthiness.

Aroma That Invites and Refreshes

Crack open a can (or pour into your favorite tall glass), and the aroma is pure European elegance: light malt sweetness, freshly cut grass, and a touch of floral spice. It’s fresh, bright, and clean: the kind of scent that instantly reminds you why pilsners never go out of style.

Crisp, Snappy, and Exceptionally Balanced

Zoigl-Pils pours a pale golden hue topped with a fluffy white head that lingers just long enough to make every sip look picture-perfect. The first taste hits with a quick burst of bitterness, followed by the delicate crackle of pilsner malt. A spicy hop bite and mineral finish keep things crisp and dry, leaving your palate refreshed and ready for another sip. This is precision brewing you can taste that’s simple, elegant, and unforgettable.

At 5.1% ABV, it’s light enough for easy drinking yet flavorful enough to satisfy any craft beer purist. Whether you’re enjoying a pint after work or pairing it with a weekend dinner, it delivers balance and satisfaction in equal measure.

Perfect Pairings

Zoigl-Pils proves there’s beauty in restraint — and versatility in crispness.
