I quess it comes from the town of Plsen (Pilsen?) somewhere in central
Europe. The best is Pilsner Uruquell if you ask my tastebuds.

As to which is the most definitive of the group I'm not sure but it seems
to me that the Pilsner orginated in Czechoslovakia. I seem to recall
reading that somewhere..

Pilsner beer is Pilsner Urquell (Plzensky Prazdroj).
"Pilsner"" simply means a beer made from Plzen, a city in Bohemia, the
westernmost half of the Czech Republic. The original pilsner, Pilsner
Urquell, was first brewed in 1842 and has remained virtually unchanged in
over 150 years.
Fine Moravian and Bohemian barleys are used as well Saaz hops (Saaz hops
are considered the finest hops on earth). It is mashed using a lengthy
triple decoction method. The beer is fermented in open wooden vessels at
40ºF, then lagered in closed fermenters for 3 months at 33ºF. The result
is a beer with a deep golden color and a dense white head. It is crystal
clear, and has a wonderful aroma.
Pilsner Urquell has never travelled well (one reason is the green bottles)
but good examples can be found. Recently I've noticed PU on draught, it is
definatly worth seeking out. ~~Mike

Not too surprisingly, it originated in the city of Pilsen (or Plzen, to
use the Czech spelling), in 1842. Some say that this most definitive of
Pilsners has lost something in recent years, as the old oak barrels have
been abandoned in favor of modern stainless steel equipment. Still, in
its home country especially, it can be a mighty refreshing drop of lager!

They originated in Pilsen (hence the name), in Bohemia (currently the Czech
Republic), and I believe Pilsner Urquell is widely considered a standard of
the style.
Michael Jackson, the Beer Hunter, on his CD-Rom of the same name, has the
following to say about pilseners:
"Before 1842, all beers were dark and cloudy. That year, a brewery in
Pilsen, Bohemia, introduced a new lager beer, the first that was golden and
clear. That brewery, Pilsner Urquell (“Original Source”), still operates,
though even its beer has lost a little of its character in recent years.
Next door to the Pilsner brewery is another, called Gambrinus. It makes a
similar, if slightly less complex, beer. Only these two breweries can truly
call their beers Pilsners, but both were in business before the days of
trademarks. All over the world, brewers call beers pilsner, pilsener, or
pils. Even where they do not, most of the world’s everyday beers are very
distant derivations of the Pilsner, often without the malt character and
very rarely with the aromatic delicacy of the hop."

He's right by jove! It is a small town in the former Czechoslovakia,
which brewed a light lager beer in the early 1800's-1830ish. It's
straw yellow color and clean taste was all the rage then and the
standard to which beers of that time tried to mimic...some with poor
results.
