What famous beers are pilsner?
An interesting phenomenon is occurring in the craft beer world. After years of every description of IPAs, fruit beers, milkshakes, spiced beers, and high-alcohol monsters, it has become cool for brewers to get back to their roots. The hot style at many craft breweries these days is Pilsner. Yes, good old authentic Pilsner. Because most of the world’s macro beer production focuses on some variation on the style, craft brewers have ignored Pilsners for years. Authentic Pilsners are not only amazing beers, but they are among the most difficult styles to get right. They involve complex brewing and fermentation processes and there’s nothing to hide behind.
- While you can hide small imperfections in a roasty stout or a hoppy IPA, you can’t in a golden Pilsner.
- These days, when a brewer wants to show off his or her brewing skills, producing a high-quality Pilsner is the way to do it.
- Pilsners are also ways for breweries to get back to basics with a clean, straightforward, classic beer style.
Pilsners have a long, storied history and basically changed the world of beer forever. They are among my favorite beer styles and I am also very proud when I brew a good one. So let’s take a closer look at this amazing classic. The History of Pilsner The name Pilsner basically means “of Plzeň” (Pilsen in English) a small town in the Bohemian region of the Czech Republic. Beer has been brewed in Pilsen since 1295 but the beers were all dark ales of inconsistent quality. To rectify this situation, Pilsen founded a city-owned brewery in 1839 to brew a new style of beer that used bottom-fermenting yeast and was then stored cold in ice caves.
The brewery brought in Bavarian brewer Joseph Groll who, using this new fermentation technology and paler malts, which were a recent innovation, introduced his first batch of the new beer on October 5 th, 1842. This, the world’s first blonde lager, was called Plzensky Prazdroj or Pilsener Urquell in German. The beer is still made at the same brewery today.
Paler malts, Pilsen’s very soft water, local Saaz hops and Bavarian lagering resulted in a clear, golden beer that was a sensation. While the old-style dark, murky beers were served in wooden, metal or ceramic mugs, the beautiful golden beer began to be served in glass vessels.
Czech Pilseners are still made pretty much like they were in 1842. There are variations by brand, but they tend to be a deep golden color with a dense white head, nice clarity, and a soft texture from the very soft Pilsen water, which ranks among the world’s most pure and ion-free waters.
German Pilsners – often referred to as simply Pils – are brewed all over Germany – from Munich to Hamburg. They tend to be light straw to golden in color with a white head and a crisper, earthier hoppiness, often due to higher mineral content in the brewing water.
European-style Pilsners from Belgium and the Netherlands often have a slightly sweeter taste and may use non-barley adjuncts. These mass-produced beers are popular but largely undistinguished. Brands include Stella Artois, Jupiler, Heineken, Amstel and Grolsch.
I personally resent Miller Lite referring to itself as a “fine Pilsner beer” when it is neither fine nor a Pilsner. A Bud Light commercial on this year’s Super Bowl tried to diss Miller Lite and Coors for using corn syrup in their beers. They failed to mention that the ” dilly dilly ” beer uses rice syrup instead.
I have to say, though, that when the Game of Thrones dragon barbequed King Dilly and his merry men at the joust, I toasted the dragon with my glass of Pilsner Urquell.
The good news is that American craft brewers are embracing the Pilsner style and making some truly fine pilsners. Among the many breweries making excellent examples of the style are: Left Hand Polestar Pilsner, Lagunitas Pils, Oscar Blues Mama’s Little Yella Pils, Crooked Stave Von Pilsner, Firestone Walker Pivo Pils, Victory Prima Pils, Samuel Adams Noble Pils, Deschutes Pine Mountain Pilsner, Boulevard KC Pils, New Belgium Pilsner and North Coast Scrimshaw Pilsner.
Pilsners will make their comeback in the craft beer market, and that is as it should be. We can look for more well-made Pilsners on tap and on the shelves and the spirit of innovation of the craft beer industry will propel the style forward. We’re already seeing Pilsners being made with non-traditional hops and different levels of malt-hop balance.
