What it is

Pilsner: the golden lager style born in Plzeň (1842) and perfected in Germany — pale, bitter, sparkling and ruled by the Reinheitsgebot purity law. Origins: Bavarian brewers carried bottom-fermentation to Bohemia; Josef Groll's 1842 Pilsner Urquell lit the fuse, and German brewers made the style their own. Made from: pale lager malt, soft water, noble hops (Hallertau, Tettnang) and lager yeast — under the 1516 Reinheitsgebot, only malt, hops, water and yeast. How it's made: 1) Mash and boil with generous hops. 2) Ferment cold. 3) Lager (store) for weeks until brilliant. Served: at 7°C in a tall glass with a dense foam crown. Flavor: crisp malt, floral-spicy hops, dry finish. Strength: 4.5-5.5%. Culture: the Biergarten and the Maß of Bavaria remain lager's cathedrals. See also: Riesling, Jägermeister.
