'''Pilsner''' (also '''pilsener''' or simply '''pils''') is a type of [[pale lager]]. It takes its name from the [[Bohemia]]n city of [[Plzeň]] ({{langx|de|Pilsen}}), where the world's first pale lager (now known as [[Pilsner Urquell]]) was produced in 1842 by [[Pilsner Urquell Brewery]].<ref>{{cite web|last=Jackson|first=Michael|title=Prague: twinned with Burton-upon-Trent|url=http://www.beerhunter.com/documents/19133-000054.html|work=The Beer Hunter|access-date=28 April 2011}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.germanbeerinstitute.com/pils.html|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20111019092501/http://germanbeerinstitute.com/pils.html|title=German Beer Institute, PILS|archivedate=19 October 2011}}</ref>
