About
The birthplace of pilsner lager, with cellar tastings straight from the barrel.
Background & story
Pilsner Urquell is a lager beer brewed at Asahi Breweries' Pilsner Urquell Brewery in Plzeň, Czech Republic. Pilsner Urquell was the world's first pale lager, and its popularity meant it was much copied, and named pils, pilsner or pilsener. It is hopped with Saaz hops, a noble hop variety that is a key element in its flavour profile, as is the use of soft water.
