Pilsner Urquell

About

Pilsner Urquell, brewed since 1842, is the original pilsner beer, originating from Plzeň, Czech Republic. It was created by Josef Groll, a Bavarian brewer, who introduced the first blond lager, revolutionizing beer history. The beer is made using high-quality Moravian barley and Saaz hops, contributing to its malty, bittersweet taste and clear golden color. Pilsner Urquell uses a triple-decoction mashing process, which enhances its rich, malty character. Pilsner Urquell's brewing process involves primary fermentation in stainless steel vessels and lagering for 35-40 days. The beer is known for its crisp flavor and refreshing quality, making it a beloved style worldwide. With an alcohol content of 4.4%, it remains a leading beer in the Czech Republic and is exported globally. Its legacy has inspired countless imitations, solidifying its place as a pioneering beer in the history of brewing.
