Pils

Pilsner (also pilsener or simply pils) is a type of pale lager. It takes its name from the Bohemian city of Pilsen (Plzeň), where it was first produced in 1842 by Bavarian brewer Josef Groll. The world’s first pale lager, the original Pilsner Urquell, is still produced there today.

Did you know… Legend has it that the special yeast used to brew the first golden pilsner, Pilsner Urquell, was originally created at a Bavarian monastery, stolen, and cultivated by a monk.
