| Once upon a time, the innumerable brewers of Europe awoke to the appearance of the beers of Pilsen and the vast majority of brewers soon found their future in providing "their own" version of a pale, clean, hoppy lager. |
| On a daily basis, few would lament these "sheep" who followed the easy path so many years ago. The repetoire of lagers that developed region by region across Europe provides vast entertainment. |
| The focus of some standard of lager brewing, the "Euro", is upon a beer that builds upon a solid malty body and sophisticated complexity and consistency. |
| Many superb variations filter out from this lager theme, but all insist upon a well balanced and significant hop character. |
| This recipe focusses upon a hop with less hop aromatics than the original Pilsner style, but an afterbitter that touches the whole tongue and refreshes the palate. |
