The History of Pilsner Urquell

Although the Pilsner Urquell brewery has a rich history dating back to 1842, its origins can be traced even further. In 1295, the city of Pilsen founded a municipal brewery to meet the growing demand for beer. This early beer, however, was cloudy and bitter. It wasn’t until 1842 that the modern Pilsner Urquell was born, thanks to the efforts of brewer Josef Groll. He developed a new brewing process that resulted in a clear, golden lager with a distinctive hoppy flavor. Today, Pilsner Urquell remains one of the world’s most iconic and influential beer styles.
