About this product
Pure. Balanced. Timeless Bavarian brewing.
Augustiner Helles is a benchmark example of Bavarian lager — a beer that embodies clarity, balance, and centuries of brewing tradition. Brewed in Munich by Augustiner-Bräu, the city’s oldest independent brewery, this Helles is all about precision rather than power. Soft malt character, gentle hop bitterness, and immaculate drinkability define its appeal.
At first glance, Augustiner Helles may appear simple, but this is a beer where every detail matters. Brewed according to traditional methods and with an unwavering commitment to quality, it delivers a clean, rounded profile that rewards attention. For beer drinkers in Ireland, it offers an authentic taste of Munich lager culture — refined, dependable, and endlessly satisfying.
This is a beer designed for long enjoyment. It’s not about bold aromatics or intensity, but about flow — a beer that fits effortlessly into social settings, meals, and relaxed moments. Whether shared at the table or enjoyed on its own, Augustiner Helles sets the standard for what a great lager should be.
Why we love it:
Augustiner Helles showcases how powerful simplicity can be when executed flawlessly. The malt is soft and gently bready, the bitterness is restrained and precise, and the finish is clean and refreshing. It’s a beer that doesn’t demand attention yet earns respect with every sip — a timeless classic that resonates just as strongly with drinkers in Ireland today as it does in Munich.
