  • About
This style of beer is a light-straw colored, full-bodied, lagered, bottom fermented beer named after the town of Pilzen (in what was then known as Bohemia), where it was first brewed in 1842. It quickly became a popular unique style because it was so different from the amber brews that were the norm at that time. Pilsner Urquell (literal translation: “original source of pilsener”), named for the town of Pilzen, in what is now the Czech Republic, was the first golden-colored lager developed in the seventeenth century. Until that time almost all brews, ale and lager, were amber-colored or darker.
