5 Oct. 1842 Citizen-owned brewery in Pilsen (Plzeň) gives the world the gift of clear, unfiltered, unpasteurized Lager--yet today, stupid Americans decide that beer should be "hazy" & "juicy."
Sure, G. W. F. Hegel, tell me that "reason rules the world"

To be sure, some of the origins of #Pilsner #beer are clouded by urban legend

Admittedly, as any #Czech will tell you, fresh #Pilsner Urquell, fresh from "the tank" (z tanku) tastes far better than the bottled stuff we get over here

Naturally & regrettably, the #Nazis tried to appropriate & make the most of #Pilsner #beer: for the centennial, in the darkest days of the #occupation, following the brutal reprisals after the assassination of Reichsprotektor" Reinhard Heydrich by #Czechoslovak paratroopers
