What Is the Difference Between a Pilsner and a Lager?
A Pilsner is a lager, but a lager is not necessarily a pilsner. Pilsners are golden, light colored lager beers with a crisp, clean finish that are modeled after the true Pilsners, which are brewed in the Czech city Pils. The original Pilsner got its clarity from the unique naturally filtered water of the region.
