Why is it so good?
Centuries of practice and commitment?
Sorry, I’ve not tried to make a pilsner. P.U. is so good, I’ll just pick it up. I treat certain beers the way I treat cars or music. They are mysterious magic, best enjoyed rather than questioned.
Well said. Enjoyed a 22 oz PU tonight out with friends for dinner. Low ABV and clean crisp taste.
It’s a magical thing aint it.
Thats the million dollar question… ingredients, process, and practice.
They need to start canning. I don’t like my pils to taste like Heimekim.
They do! I bought some cans this summer, and it was freaking amazing. What I bought was a limited edition four pack, where the cans were all historical labels. Here’s someone else’s blog post about it:

Yup, they do.
I went to Prague in 1990 right after the fall and Pilsner Urquell was 10 cents per 1/2 liter on tap. I rented an apartment for 1 week just for the beer (the apartment was $10 per week)

this is the best news I’ve heard all day (the cans and the brown). Actually, I have had a personal unwritten rule that I only order Urq on draft for this reason. My rule is now meaningless and hereby void and repealed.
They have a 12 pack in brown bottles that’s a completely closed cardboard box. No hand holes or anything. My Harris Teeter carries them.
I believe they have been canning for a couple years now.
