 Hi, I'm Jack Handler and this is Brewing for Dummies. Today we're gonna talk about pilsner. What exactly is a pilsner? Pilsner is a type of lager and what it references is the style. So if you say you like pilsner but you don't like lager, you're wrong. So the original pilsner was brewed in the town of Pilsen and pilsner, meaning the beer from Pilsen. Pilsner beers are the first truly golden lagers that were ever brewed and they're known today as being fairly hoppy, fairly bitter and really full bodied golden lagers.
