Belgian Pils
What You Need To Know
In a country that produces some of the most outstanding and unique styles of Beer, there is also a need for a light, thirst quenching Lager that offers relief on a hot summer’s day. Certainly the style and the moniker is borrowed from Pilsen which is somehow acceptable as most every Beer producing nation turn outs a light colored, easy-drinking Lager that is a mainstay in virtually every pub, club, and restaurant. Even in Belgium, which offers the greatest variety of Beers, people consume the nation’s top Pils, Jupiler, at a greater rate and volume than any other. In truth there is not much difference stylistically in Belgian Pils than a Pilsner from a Scandinavian brewer.
