Perlenbacher | Premium Pils | Lidl

[@deanflynn9291]

Just went and picked up a couple today after this video . Brilliant beer , loved them . Will definitely be picking more up ! Good shout !

[@The_Republic_of_Ireland]

One of my favourite alcoholic drinks. For a cheap beer from Lidl I'd genuinely pay the same price as I would for Guinness or even Heineken for it in a pub if they had it on draught

[@unityproject2279]

So glad you liked this. I am one of the only ones on ratebeer that gave this a decent score. It's a cracking pils. Can pick a load of this up and doesn't put a dent in the wallet. Cracking with a curry

[@lennon890]

I'll be sure to get a few bottles next time I'm passing Lidl. I sometimes buy Aldi's Rheinbacher Pilsner which is also £0.99 for a 500ml bottle and would definitely recommend that to anybody. Great review!

[@ShawnSheepy]

We love it in Germany

[@jimwhite1964]

Totally agree, been quaffing it for years now.

[@kw2142]

Only found out it bit now. What a wasted life

[@obyartist]

Well this review could not have come at a better time. I’ve been drinking Krombacher pils (cracking beer) but It’s been recommended that I try Lidl’s own beer Perlenbacher premium pils. Going by your review I can’t wait to try one. I’m just back from Lidl and stocked my fridge with Perlenbacher ready for teatime. I hope it is as good as your review suggests as I have read other reviews slating it. 🤞

[@mezmanmerrill7412]

Like this beer a lot I personally get it in the can. The main reason being is I used to buy the bottles regularly but I had one that was off it probably skunked due to the green bottle and it put me off. Been buying the cans ever since and it is fantastic always grab a pack or two to keep in the fridge.

[@swigginstevesbargainbeerre1612]

Yeah I gotta admit it's a great fridge filler

[@michaelcummings4391]

Just smashed one of these. Been giving a swerve since it changed from being brewed in Germany to France. Also it used to be in a brown bottle. However, I have to say it's still a bloody good beer and knocks most of the big brand beers into a cocked hat. Will be revisiting this one a lot particularly if we get some warm weather 🍻👍

[@ookkonaaoulusta]

I've bought Perlenbacher lager from Lidl now and then for many many years, and always liked it! Rigth now I drink Perlenbacher Premium Lager 5.3 per cent vol.

[@looney1105]

Love this pilsner. Trying it for the first time tonight. I have had 3 so far. The first went down real easy, so has the 3rd. As will the 4th. Cracking beer and I whole heartily recommend it. I got 8 500ml bottles for less than £6.50 today... I'll be buying more.

[@MarcusWainwright]

I love this beer and cracking value for money thank you for sharing

[@pskourides]

Smashing review, def. one to pick up at that price, and those comments, Thanks Mark.

[@jethro69tull]

Really good Beer at a great price.

[@paul_henderson]

At least least used to be, haven't had it in years so Ima give a try today. Heard it's not as good anymore but if the reviews are wrong I'll bay maybe 40 of those. I'm kinda sentimental about Perlenbacher

[@geoff64709]

Picked a pack of 18 bottles up yesterday guna get stuck into um on Friday , can't wait 😀 enjoyed the review

[@MrYesira]

In Switzerland it’s a pack of 6 for 4CHF about 3 and a half quid

[@dazzer1696]

Seeing this 4 years late! This Beer has been my favourite for I think around 8 years now, i got lucky to stumble upon buying it on the off chance in Lidl around about 2016. For me it is stunning, the taste and sensation it gives me is hard to explain, i think it is better than Sex!! ;-)

[@Neil1977]

I’m like you on this one seen it in Lidl always walked past it, will pick up a few bottles and give it a go now, cracking review as always👍🏼

[@TrueBlueEG8]

I have been drinking this for about 10 years on and off, it is a solid brew, and way better than most of the usual suspects

[@Nik2555]

Great review 👍 love a perlenbacher on a hot day... strangely the cans and bottles are different abv. Also why do they say brewed in France when it’s made by frankfurter?

[@dalyjohnm]

My lockdown beer :-) Ive had 30 in a night. I like the bite , its got to be cold cold cold... id like to buy some of those glasses ... The hangover from Perlenbacher is rough though.

[@guysmiley4830]

That's a shame. I just discovered this beer today and thought I might save a few bucks over Heineken. I'm a heavy drinker. I probably put away somewhere around 2000 12 ounce heineken's last year. If I feel well enough tomorrow, I'll give it another go for sure. It's tasty enough at it's price point.

[@nonrevnosnibormetalbeerrev6251]

Bollocks, no way you drank 30 bottles of it

[@geoff64709]

I've had this beer out of bottles and cans , 2.99 pound for 4 x 500 ml cans at 4.5% is a good buy . I'm very tight when it comes to spending money and if on a tight budget you can't go wrong on this beer . Thanks for the review it was a good honest one 👍 enjoyed thanks 😊

It´s Frankfurt at the Oder in the east, not Frankfurt at the Main. They brew cheap but decent beers also for other discounters. This one in germany is 29 cent by every Lidl.

@@TheBierHooligan That´s my serious problem during Corona crisis, having a Lidl round the corner...:-) The Perlenbacher Weizen for 35cent is sold in the UK as Patronus (our Patronus for 59 cent is totaly different). Perelenbacher is an absolut serious brewery, i like all stuff of them.

Great review of a good pilsener! I remember that years ago I especially go to Lidl to grab a Sixpack of those Perlenbacher 0,5l bottles (then in brown glass) of those, along with BitBurger. Lidl and other big supermarkets and stores doesn't sell BitBurger anymore in my country... I miss that pilsener. Lidl sells Perlenbacher in cans along with Argus, Kordaat (pretty new but I dont like it), Finkbrau and Oettinger. Also in our Lidl they sell great Belgium beers, Waterloo Triple Blonde, Piraat Triple Hop and Van Steenbergen Gift box with Bornem Dubbel, Tripel, Gulden Draak+9000 Quad, Piraat and Piraat Tripel Hop.

[@gghostrrider]

Chilling my 1st Perlenbacher now, Lidl just opened a store near me. Better than Warsteiner is high praise, I don’t know about that. Wehestephaner Original is a close favorite

[@stephenlane80]

The cans are 4.8% while the bottles are 4.9% - how is that, are they the same beer? The bottles taste nicer to me, but i'm not sure if thats all in my head.

[@DrLager2000]

Thanks God it's not just me and my wishful thinking that thinks this beer is AMAZING value. I really like it......

[@deniscotter525]

Can you please tell me where the wheat is sourced? I believe perlenbacher is brewed in France, French wheat is very high in glyphosate a cancer causing pesticide, can you tell the COA pesticide level

[@irisheyes0058]

Like your review man..you seem a decent bloke too..got good friend coming from England for his birthday here to Ireland..think in between the Guinness at the music bars..be on this at the beach Chilled obviously..us and the beer

[@discodroidz429]

Nice review as ever me old mucker. Agree With you 100% on the tom tit that is fosters, Carling, Carlsberg, heinken, stella etc etc . BH, Talking of supermarket good quality budget Pils, You have converted me like the 5th beatle maharishi yogi To Warsteiner Pils. On a silmilar tip, Krombacher pils, Pravha pils and Spaten PIls are also worth a butchers at good supermarket budget prices.

[@stephanbreme3317]

Warsteiner as Spaten is round about 99 cent in Germany.

[@michaurbanczyk3944]

In Poland this beer is for about 0,33 quid sort of thing 😃

[@Heaven-dy9lj]

Same in the CZ

[@driesproost]

Being from Belgium I have the luxury of having some of the best beers available to me. That is the stronger tripel, dubbel, trapist beers. For regular pils beers I always go for Perlenbacher over stella artois, Jupiler, Maes, Heineken, Crystal etc. It's fucking amazing, not to mention cheap!

[@jorgdufer8038]

I like it as well - even if some complain about that bloody little amount of glyphosate (let's take it as lobbyists' anti-commercial ...:P ) -cheerz - hope u had a quite bearable ..let's say BEERable xmas -greetz outta the caliphate of DUISBURG (Germany) "beloved hell" :)

what do you think of it being in a green bottle, good or bad or are you not bothered ?

[@TheBierHooligan]

The green bottle theory is a total myth.

Good review again Mark and from a Scot i'd love to see you try some of WEST brewery beers if they are available in the supermarkets down south. Keep the reviews coming in these strange time it's a welcome distraction 👍

[@johnwalsh7823]

Must give it a crack, great review. Do you think its better than the Aldi Pilsner Rhienbacher?

[@gray8046]

I used to buy this from Lidl at 99p as it was cheap, always had a fridge full of it, I stopped buying it when Tesco started selling the Bavaria 5% for £1. What is your opinion Mark on the two, which one do you prefer, do you prefer one over the other?

Why oh why did I buy before seeing your review. I’m sorry but This beer is not for me I think I have been spoilt by drinking copious amounts of Krombacher pils. I did enjoy your review though you could sell ice to an Eskimo 😀… Taxi for 12 bottles of Perlenbacher

[@guysmiley4830]

The price though...

[@Motherwell-xw3mn]

£1.20 in Scotland because of the rubbish minimum pricing law. Still worth £1.20 though.

[@DariusTulbure]

Well, you Brits are ready to give up your unique and quirky ales for a tap of cheap (and bland) Birra Moretti. So why am I not surprised you like Perlenbacher so much? It's an ok beer, don't get me wrong... but the best a pound can buy? I doubt it.
