Matt Likes Beer - Week 3 - Paulaner Münchner Lager

NEOZAZ Internet Entertainment

In this week’s episode of Matt Likes Beer, Matt explores the timeless charm of Paulaner Münchner Lager, a staple in German brewing heritage and a commercial example of the Munich Helles style. Known for its balance of malty sweetness and subtle hop bitterness, this beer delivers exactly what you’d expect from a classic Bavarian lager.

Matt dives into his experience with Paulaner Münchner Lager, sharing stories of local German beer gardens, the challenges of beer judging certification (BJCP), and why this beer made its way into his fridge for both podcasting and training purposes. Along the way, he reflects on how Paulaner stands out as a malt-forward lager with a crisp, clean finish and gives it an impressive BJCP-style evaluation score.

But not everyone agrees with that assessment, Matt reads a few offbeat low-rated reviews and debunks some of their claims—like detecting "dirty alley notes"—all while considering what makes this beer a winner for malt-forward lager fans.
