Beer Styles

Pilseners and Pale Lagers

The original hoppy, pale beer style, pilseners offer clean, bready maltiness and plenty of hop character. Classic interpretations can be traced back to areas of Germany and what is now the Czech Republic. When exploring this style, take note of the fuller-bodied bohemian styles reminiscent of Czech versions, compared to the thinner German interpretations--these characteristics are mostly attributed to the water character of each region.
