German Beers

Hi Spirits : Beers : German Beers

German beer is a firm favourite here in the UK and comes in many different styles. Beers such as Pilsner, Weissbiers, Dunkels and Pikantus Bock all have their own distinct tastes. These German beer styles are normally focused around specific regions of Germany but Pilsner is without a doubt the most well known and popular.


Germany has specific brewery laws, which mean that brewers of German Beer are only allowed to use four ingredients namely, hops, malt, water and yeast. These restrictions have led to brewers using their own different techniques to develop distinct flavours and use only the best ingredients they can get their hands on.


Here at Hi-Spirits we stock a good mix of different German Beer styles. The German Beers on offer are handpicked and all have their own merits. Please browse the range below to find your favourite or while here, why not even try something new.

Garrett’s concept for the collaboration was that each brewmaster would brew essentially the same pale, hoppy weissbock in the other’s brewery, but with different hopping to reflect the local hop flavor.
