This was also our first taste of the pilsner beer CZ is famous for, including the renowned Pilsner Urquell on draft. Pilsner Urquell is the most famous of Czech beers and the world's first pale lager. Every pale lager or "pilsner" is essentially a derivative of Pilsner Urquell, a style that takes its name from the city of Plzeň where Urquell is brewed.
