Pilsner Vs. Pilsen
pres...@kadt.com
Hi.-
Please excuse my ignorance, but I've been searching for Pilsen beer in the
U.S. and all that's turned up is "Pilsner" which is good, but not what am
I looking for. Are these two supposed to be the same? If not, which
brand distributes Pilsen here in the U.S.??? Any info would be greatly
appreciated :-)
Cheers & Beers,
DmK

Pilsen is a place. Pilsner is a style. There are plenty of Pilsners
around both good and bad. It's a tough beer to make right because the
flavors are so delicate. Unfortunately one of the best available, Pilsner
Urquell is almost always light struck and skunky.

If you want beer from Pilsen, Czech Republic, then you are looking
for "Pilsner Urquell."
If you want a brewed brewed in the style of beers from Pilsen, then
you are looking for any of a very large number of beers from Germany,
Czech Republich, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, Netherlands, and
some other countries, all labelled "Pilsner" or "Pils" as in
Paulaner Pilsner, Spaten Pils, Veltins Pils, Bitburger Pils,
Maes Pils, Trumer Pils, Bohemia Regent... and on and on.

Pilsner (or pilsener) are beers brewed in the pilsener way. This means the
way beer was (and is) brewed in the town of Plzen (german: Pilsen) in the
Czech Republic. The best 'pilseners' are by far the real Plzen beers like
Urquell or Gambrinus. any other pilsener ar weak substractions.

Ding, ding, ding, ding.

And yes the name is derived from the town by the name of Plzen (sp?)
in the Czech Rep.
Cheers,

Pilsner doesn't travel well at all because, as you rightly say,
it is so delicate. If you get an imported Czech pilsner, it will taste
a little stale and dead, but till quite nice. Beer enthusiasts must
make their pilgrimage to the Czech republic!
Remember 1/2 litre glasses of beer are still under $1!

**Pilsen, pilsner, and pilsener are all just variations on the spelling of
the same style of beer, named after the Czech town of Plzen. The beer
is a very clean. light-amber lager, traditionally made with Saaz hops.

Slightly incorrect.
Pilsen is the german name for the Czech town Plzen.
Pilsener and Pilsner are basically the same. Usually you would say
Pilsner or just Pils. They all describe the brewing style.
