Hop Nation - Rattenhund - Classic Pilsner - 20L A-type Keg

Hop Nation Rattenhund: Australia’s #1 Award-Winning Pilsner

In a craft beer world often dominated by heavy hops and fruit additions, there is no greater test of a brewer's skill than a clean, traditional Lager. Rattenhund is Hop Nation’s masterpiece—a beer that has officially set the gold standard for the style. As the Back-to-Back Australia's #1 Pilsner (GABS Hottest 100 2022, 2023, 2024) and a Gold Medal winner at the 2023 Australian International Beer Awards, this is widely regarded as the finest Pilsner in the country.

This isn’t just a lager; it’s a masterclass in patience and precision. Following the original recipe that built its legendary reputation, Rattenhund is the ultimate choice for those who demand world-class quality on tap.

Flavour Profile & Perfect Occasion

Tasting Notes

Traditionally brewed using floor-malted Bohemian Pilsner Malt, Rattenhund is partnered with classic Saaz and Spalt Select hops. It undergoes a long, cool fermentation followed by a patient eight-week lagering process. The result is a crystal-clear, refreshing brew featuring a fluffy, lip-smothering head. Expect delicate floral and spicy hop notes balanced by a clean, crackery malt base and a crisp, dry finish.

The Perfect Occasion

Rattenhund is the "brewer’s beer"—the one you reach for when you want purity and refreshment. This 20L keg is the perfect centerpiece for a sophisticated garden party, a long lunch with friends, or as the ultimate reward for the true beer connoisseur. Its award-winning pedigree makes it a guaranteed conversation starter and a crowd-pleaser for any gathering that calls for the very best.
