Pilsner Urquell 500ml Beer: Import and Wholesale Distribution

In the international beer sector, few brands have the authority and recognition of Pilsner Urquell. Created in 1842 in Plzeň (Czech Republic) by master brewer Josef Groll, this brand gave birth to the world's first golden lager, forever defining the pilsner category. Today, its original recipe remains unchanged after more than 180 years, using traditional methods such as triple decoction and fermentation at the brewery in Plzeň itself to ensure its distinctive flavour worldwide.

At Tindale Distribuciones, we act as the importer and wholesale distributor of Pilsner Urquell in Spain and Portugal, supplying the iconic 500ml can to the HORECA and retail sectors.

The Value of the Format: 500ml Can for Retail and Hospitality

The 500ml can of Pilsner Urquell is a high-demand format that responds both to at-home consumption trends and to operational efficiency behind the bar and at events:

Optimal Freshness Protection: The hermetically sealed aluminium can completely blocks sunlight and oxygen, protecting the delicate oils of Saaz hops and ensuring that the beer retains its distinctive floral aroma and bitterness until opened.
High Retail Turnover: A key product for supermarket shelves, convenience stores and specialist retailers serving international shoppers, tourists and enthusiasts of traditional and craft beer.
Efficient HORECA Management: It allows terraces, beach clubs and hospitality venues to offer the original Czech beer in a full serving (half a litre) without requiring complex keg installations or draught system maintenance.

Traditional Brewing and 100% Czech Ingredients

The organoleptic profile of Pilsner Urquell is characterised by a perfect balance between malt sweetness and clean herbal bitterness. Its production relies strictly on four natural ingredients of local origin:

Saaz Noble Hops (Žatec): Known as Czech "green gold", this is an aromatic, low-bitterness hop that is added at three stages of the brewing process to provide unique spicy, fruity and floral notes.
Moravian Barley Malt: Sourced from the fertile lands of Moravia and malted using the traditional technique established by Josef Groll to achieve its characteristic golden colour and malty body.
Soft Plzeň Water and Triple Decoction: Brewed exclusively at the original brewery in Plzeň using a process in which part of the wort is boiled three times, intensifying the colour, subtle caramel aroma and mouthfeel.
