- Description at Bawsaq.com.

Pißwasser, stylized as PIßWASSER (BAWSAQ: PIS) (English: /ˈpɪsˌwɑsər/; German: /ˈpɪsˌvasəʁ/), Anglicised as Pisswasser or Piswasser, is a German export lager frequently advertised on radio and TV in Grand Theft Auto IV, Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online. The player can buy stocks from them on the Bawsaq.com website in GTA V.

Description
'Wasser' is German for 'water', implying the beverage's literal name is 'piss water', a slang term for cheap, watered-down beer. According to the in-game website www.piswasser.com, the ingredients include "the fresh urine of Bavarian virgins" (however, the site goes on to say "or so we claim", implying that it might not be as fresh as one would hope). Billboards seen in-game expand the urine references, even going so far as to suggest the bottles contain nothing but urine (perhaps in reference to the urine in Corona beer rumor). The beer's slogan and tagline is: "You're In For A Good Time" ("You're In" being a pun on "Urine"). The quality of the beer is reflected by its second slogan: "Cheap German Lager For Export Only". The Pißwasser badge on bar pumps is labelled "Ü-Rhine" (and the six-crate of Pißwasser that Rockstar sent to UK website CVG Online as a present was labelled in the same way), which is probably a reference to the river in Germany, as well as another pun on "urine". Pißwasser sponsored Republican Space Rangers in 2008.

Radio and television advertisements for the beer feature variations of a song sung by a stereotypical redneck man with lyrics that portray comically exaggerated effects of alcoholism, including "[giving] a dude head" and "[driving] drunk off a pier". The Pißwasser song largely spoofs 's anthem, "This is Budweiser, This is Beer", particularly towards the end of the jingle.

In Grand Theft Auto Online, a Pißwasser beer hat becomes available through the special crates as part of the Independence Day Special. It can also be purchased in convenience stores across San Andreas and can be drunk at safehouses.

Influence
The name and commercial branding of Pißwasser is likely based on, however the logo and bottle design itself appears to resemble German beer "Perlenbacher". The Pißwasser logo uses the "Delima MT" typeface.

The new Pißwasser Ice variant seen in Grand Theft Auto Online is a very clear reference to Bud Ice. It features an almost identical logo and colour schemes.

The labels on the bottles are similar to 's labeling.

Grand Theft Auto IV
There is a small warehouse with Pißwasser signage above the door in Liberty City.

Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online
Pißwasser have a large factory in San Andreas:
