pour hofmeister like a bavarian

While our Helles is fantastic straight from the bottle, pour it the Bavarian way and you’ll release a whole world of hoppy aromas and classic maltiness. Not to mention, you’ll also create the generous foamy head that great Helles Lagers are famous for.

Rinse a glass. Don’t dry it. This creates a more slippery surface inside the glass for a smoother pour and better head.

Angle the glass 45° and pour half in slowly.

Straighten the glass and pour the rest in quickly. The head should be 3-5cm deep (or 1.5-2 inches if you remember Hof the first time round).

Then just sit back and enjoy our genuine Helles Lager like a Bavarian would. No lederhosen required.

hello, stranger

It’s been a while. But never fear, Hofmeister is back. But before you can Follow The Bear again, we need to do the legal bit and check you’re 18 or over (although if you remember Hof the first time around, you definitely are!).

sorry to be the bear-er of bad news...

…but you’re not old enough to enter our site. Pop back when you’re 18 and we’ll happily tell you about our genuine Bavarian Helles Lager. But it’s going to have to be ‘auf wiedersehen’ till then.
