Pilsner – originating in the Czech city of Pilsen the Pilsner is a type of pale lager first brewed in the mid 19th century. The world’s first blond lager, the original Pilsner Urquell, is still brewed there today.

The city of Pilsen’s brewing history date’s back to the end of the 13th century, but until the 1840’s most of the beers produced there were top fermented. It was in 1839 that the city opened its own brewery Měšťanský pivovar Plzeň, which translates to the Citizen’s Brewery, now known as Pilsner Urquell. Recruiting Josef Groll to work for the brewery, he began experimenting with paler malts and newer techniques, and developed his first pale lager batch in October of 1842

Below are some of the Pilsner’s we have tried and reviewed.
