What Is a Pilsner?

Pilsner is a pale lager beer style that originated in Plzeň (Pilsen) in the Czech Republic in 1842. It was one of the first clear golden lagers ever brewed and quickly became the inspiration for countless lagers produced around the world.

Traditional Pilsners are brewed using pale malt, lager yeast and noble hops, creating a clean, refreshing beer with a crisp finish and balanced bitterness.

Typical tasting notes include:

• Fresh bread
• Biscuit malt
• Floral hops
• Herbal notes
• Light citrus
• Gentle spice
• Crisp bitterness
• Clean finish

Its refreshing character makes Pilsner one of the most versatile and food-friendly beer styles available.

Czech Pilsner vs German Pilsner

Although they share the same origins, Czech and German Pilsners have developed their own distinctive characteristics.

Czech Pilsner

Czech Pilsners are typically slightly fuller-bodied with richer malt sweetness, soft carbonation and delicate hop bitterness. They offer exceptional balance and smooth drinkability.

German Pilsner

German Pilsners are lighter, drier and more hop-forward. Expect a crisp finish, floral aromas and a refreshing bitterness that makes them incredibly sessionable.

Whether you prefer one style or enjoy both, Beerhunter offers a fantastic selection from leading breweries across Germany and the Czech Republic.
