Czechs no longer brew top pilsner
If you want to taste the world’s best Bohemian-style pilsner beer, you’re going to have to go a long way from Bohemia.
At this year’s World Beer Cup in San Diego, California, the largest competition of its kind, the gold medal for “Bohemian-style lager” did not go to a Czech brewery for the first time since 2000, when the competition was smaller by nearly half and dominated by North American brewers.
Rather, the world’s best pilsner beers can be found in two unlikely places: Portland and Sydney.
Australia’s James Squire Pilsner and Oregon’s Hopworks Urban Brewery Lager won the gold and silver awards, respectively, for their pilsner beers at the competition, which was held in late April. Coming in third was Gambrinus Premium, brewed by Plzeňský Prazdroj, the legendary Czech brewery that first invented the pilsner style of beer in 1842.
