Description
The World’s First Pilsner brewed the original way!
In 1842, at our brewery in Plzeň, brewer Josef Groll introduced the world to the first golden ‘pilsner’ lager and changed beer forever. His invention soon became the most popular style of beer on the planet. We’ve brewed Pilsner Urquell in the same brewery using the same recipe for over 175 years. Today, we still insist on using traditional methods, like triple decoction and parallel brewing in wooden lagering barrels. It takes longer but means we never compromise on our taste. Pilsner Urquell’s signature flavor balances sweetness from the triple-decocted malt, and bitterness from our Saaz hops. The thick head of dense wet foam adds smoothness and seals in flavor and aroma.

Tasting Notes
In every sip of Pilsner Urquell you’ll notice a refreshing crispness from natural carbonation, then subtle caramel tones and a clean finish with a pleasing hoppy bitterness. Refreshing, rich, and full of flavor!
Best Paired With
Ever since we started brewing Pilsner Urquell in 1842, people in the Czech Republic have enjoyed pairing our beer with roasted duck. That’s because the rich fattiness of the duck is the perfect accompaniment to the refreshing bitterness of our golden lager. Delicious!
