Zusammenfassung: <jats:p>Three novel strains isolated from brewery environments are described. These strains were Gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic, heterofermentative rods that did not exhibit catalase activity. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity showed that these strains belong to the genus<jats:italic>Lactobacillus</jats:italic>and are most closely related to<jats:italic>Lactobacillus collinoides</jats:italic>(approximately 99 % similarity). The novel strains could be differentiated from<jats:italic>L. collinoides</jats:italic>on the basis of DNA–DNA relatedness, differences in beer-spoilage ability and the inability to utilize<jats:sc>d</jats:sc>-fructose. These isolates represent a novel species, for which the name<jats:italic>Lactobacillus paracollinoides</jats:italic>sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is LA2<jats:sup>T</jats:sup>(=DSM 15502<jats:sup>T</jats:sup>=JCM 11969<jats:sup>T</jats:sup>).</jats:p>
