Discount German grocer Lidl took home more than 10 medals in this year’s New York International Beer Competition for its exclusive, private brand beers. Its Perlenbacher brand also won Germany Pilsner Brewery of the Year. Lidl’s award-winning beers are priced on average at less than $8 per pack, proving that you don’t have to spend an arm and a leg to enjoy high-quality beers.
“We are thrilled to have been recognized again by New York International Beer Competition for our beer assortment,” said Stefan Schwarz, Executive Vice President of Purchasing for Lidl US. “Lidl is focused on providing high quality domestic and international beer offerings at unbelievably low prices and we are honored to see our assortment recognized again by wins as the top performing grocer in the New York International Beer Competition.”
