I beat you, Tom. <g> But, to further clarify, I believe that Pilsner is a town or city in either the Czech Republic or Slovakia (which is my way of saying it's in the former Czechoslovakia, but now that they're separate, I don't know which it's in). They brewed an exceptionally fine lager there (they may still, I don't know), and their recipe was copied in other places, such that Pilsner is now a style of lager.
Of course, Labatt's Pilsner, which had a blue label, and for marketing purposes is now called Blue, is about as far from a real Pilsner as a Trabant is from a Ferrari. cheers, frank T Rittenhouse wrote: > Boy you really have a problem, Dave.
