Urquell
Pilsner Urquell, or course. Now I have to have some tomorrow.
Pilsner Urquell (international title in German, Plzeňský Prazdroj in Czech) is a bottom-fermenting beer produced since 1842 in Pilsen, Bohemia (Plzeň, Czech Republic). The beer is today a prominent brand of global brewing empire SABMiller, which has also started brewing Pilsner Urquell in Poland and Russia.
Pilsner Urquell is somewhat heavier (with an almost ale-like fruitiness in the malt body) and more strongly hopped than most pilsener beers, which is considered by many to be its most distinguishing characteristic. Saaz hops, a noble hop variety, are a key element in its flavour profile, as are the use of soft water and fire-brewing.
