Aldi Rheinbacher Pils Lager
20 Answers
I’m naturally a Real Ale drinker, but my sister brought me some Aldi Lager during lockdown.
I expected it to be crap, but was very pleasantly surprised. Drank loads in the summer.
Only 99p a bottle. Anyone else buy it? Anyone else rate it highly?
If you’ve never had it, give it a try.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Aldi closed their nearest store to me (in Stowmarket), so I don't get into an Aldi very often but I'll remember your recommendation when I call into one of their Ipswich stores to stock up on some Christmas booze. (My hospital appointments currently mean that I have to drive right past a branch of Aldi every weekday. It would make sense to add a bit of pleasure to duty!).
At least it's a genuine German pilsner anyway. (It's brewed in Rheinbach, just to the southwest of Bonn). Lidl's Perlenbacher Pils comes in a bottle labelled in German but it's actually brewed in France and lacks the quality that a decent German brewery can produce at a low price point.

>>> I read it was brewed by Krombacher
It might well be. Several sources say that it's brewed by Brauhaus Rheinbach, which would fit with the name given to the beer, but that's actually quite a small brewery. Krombacher Brauerei is far bigger and might perhaps be a more likely choice for a major supermarket chain to link up with.

>>> But I like my Erdinger
Aha! Someone with excellent taste - just like the beer!
I assume that you're referring to the regular Weissbier, of course, but the Dunkel is just as good, if not better!

I really must try the Pikantus too!

Oh, and the Kristall as well ;-)

(Methinks a trip to Waitrose is definitely overdue!)

The Foxley perhaps, Sunk?
If you're ever in Norwich, this pub has a superb range of real ales and a great selection of superb Belgian beers too. I think you'd like it ;-)

(I really must try to get up there before Christmas. It's one of my favourite pubs in the entire country!)
Much closer to home though, we've got this superb pub in Ipswich:

^^^ When I search on Aldi, Bob, the bottled products seems to have disappeared altogether, to be replaced by 4 cans for £2.99:

Still in shop and on website.

Is it not showing on HomeShop ?

That's odd because it's not showing here:

Further the most recent review from your own link states: "Sadly, this great beer has been replaced by a silver labelled version - still called "Rheinbacher Premium" - but is a shadow of the original. This one is no longer for sale but the silver replacement is not shown on the website, hence my comment here. It is not just that proof goes down from 4.8% to 4.5%, the whole body of the beer is poorer and has lost the richness this one had".
I'm confused!
