## Research gaps <!--research_gaps-->
| observation | domain | state | detail | source |
| ----------- | ------------- | -------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------- |
| | ingredients | disputed | Two German drinks retailers list "Wasser, Gerstenmalz, Hopfen, Hopfenextrakt"; the 2023 label and the maker page list no hop extract. The retailer text may be an older recipe or stale data; hop extract is not added. | ^getraenkedienst |
| | nutrition | disputed | Retailers print other per-100 ml figures (GetraenkeOnline: 172 kJ / 41 kcal, carbohydrate 3.2 g; getraenkedienst.com: carbohydrate 0.1 g); the maker's panel is used. | ^getraenkeonline |
| | markets | unknown | REWE lists "Würzburger Hofbräu Pils 0,5l" (rewe.de/shop/p/wuerzburger-hofbraeu-pils-0-5l/7872844) but the page answered 403 to both server and direct fetches; not read, so not used as evidence. | |
| | identity | unknown | No source states a country of origin ("Product of …"); the label gives only the operator's address in Würzburg, Germany, so country_of_origin is left empty. | ^label |
| | relationships | unknown | No public GS1 record names the licensee of prefix 4047900; gs1_prefix_owner is derived from the operator printed on the label. | |

## About <!--about-->
Würzburger Hofbräu Pilsner is a Franconian pilsner in a 0.5 l returnable glass bottle, with 4.9 % alcohol by volume and 11.5 % original gravity.[^label] The label lists water, barley malt and hops and names Würzburger Hofbräu GmbH of Würzburg as the operator.[^label] The brewery says the beer is brewed to the Bavarian Purity Law with its own well water, local barley malt and Hallertau aroma hops, at 42 kcal per 100 ml.[^maker] This label is printed in German and Italian and carries Italian recycling instructions.[^label] A Fddb user recorded the same barcode for the beer in 2012.[^fddb]
The brewery was founded in 1643 by Prince-Bishop Johann Philipp von Schönborn. In January 2005 Kulmbacher Brauerei AG bought the von Finck family's 90.7 % stake, and in 2008 the company became a GmbH.[^wiki]
