Pilsner Beer is one of the first modern beers having first been brewed in the late 1830’s. The Original Pilsner beers came from the Bohemia region of the old Austrian Empire that is now part of the Czech Republic. Pilsners are medium bodied with high carbonation and tangy hop varieties that give a floral aroma and a nice bitter finish. Most of the mass produced Pale Lagers (next month’s style) seen around the world are loosely based on the Pilsner style. A great Pilsner, which is thoroughly refreshing, is technically difficult to make; the light body and balance of bitterness leaves very little room for error. The American craft brewer has recently introduced the world to Imperial Pilsners these higher alcohol lagers are extremely hopped to show off specific hop flavors.
