Augustiner Helles, 5.2%: £2.70 per 500ml, Beer Merchants
Few countries can match Germany’s lager brewing brilliance, with the country’s malt and hops perfectly suited to the crisp, clean characteristics of a good lager. ‘Helles’ was first brewed in Munich 130 years ago as a reaction to the Bohemian Pilsners, and Augustiner’s effort is one of the city’s most popular. Clear and light with delicate hopping and smooth malts it’s the epitome of a thirst-quenching beer.
