The most common beer in Augsburg was the local Helles lager. In Bavaria every little town has their own version of beer and the breweries date back hundreds of years, some to before the Reformation. The only way to get a real Bavarian Helles in the United States is to brew it yourself. I stopped into the local craft brewer, who brews nothing but lagers and asked him that question, and he said it really doesn't fit within the American concept of either the "whatever you want to call the stuff produced by the major breweries" or it is too subtile for those who drink the majority of the craft brewed ales.This is a great book and it gives a good history about the development of this type of beer -- in Munich. It ignores the rest of the diversity of most Bavarian beers, but where do you stop? In southern Germany, beer is considered one of the essential food groups, Slowly American tastes are changing and skunkie aftertaste ales will begin to loose some of their charm. The crisp clean aftertaste of a good Bavarian Helles will help change the perceptions you of your friends.I am just beginning my home brewing craft, and my direction is to move to Bavarian Helles as quick as my knowledge and equipment allow. If you already are set up to brew real lagers the right way, or even the way they did it 500 years ago, buy the book, make the beer and enjoy!PS: I changed this title a little bit, the most commonly available brew I am aware of in North America that is somewhat like the Bavarian Helles, is Labatts, but it is brewed with a different hop blend. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Just Fine *by D***D on Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2013* Again as I wrote on Vienna Marzen Oktoberfest, I'd highly recommend New Brewing Lager Beer by Greg Noonan for a more indepth understanding of how to produce this style.These books are more of a contextual on the history & parameters of the style, while it gives a few recipes they are on par with Papazian recipes.The truth is, most of the best examples of this style are simply not available in the US, making the techniques that much harder to come by. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My favorite book in this series. *by T***K on Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2004* The various books in the Classic Beer Style series are as mixed of a bag as their subjects. While each makes an effort to provide a bit of a history lesson, some technical background and a few recipes for the homebrewer, each author seems to have been pretty much left to work out the details. As a result, some examples got lost by being muddled with too much history, too many technical details or recipes that are at the extremes of the complexity scale.Dornbusch managed to get a great balance of the three in this book, and he presents it in a style that shows that he downright enjoys his subject. The result is a book that, from a homebrewer's standpoint, is actually fun to read. But most importantly, you can make some pretty good brews from his recipes. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/12007110-bavarian-helles-history-brewing-techniques-recipes-classic-beer-style-series](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/12007110-bavarian-helles-history-brewing-techniques-recipes-classic-beer-style-series) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
