Pilsner Urquell 4.4% 0,33 l glass

Pilsner Urquell is an iconic Czech pale lager that gave rise to the world-famous pilsner beer style. The first batch was brewed in Pilsen on October 5, 1842 by Bavarian brewer Josef Groll. The combination of soft Pilsen water, Czech barley malt, and Žatec hops created a type of light, bottom-fermented beer that was entirely new at the time.
