Pilsner beer carved its place in history as the last major beer style introduced to the world.        
Pilsner beers burst forth from the Czech town of Pilsen sending ripples around the world in the late 1800's.  
Considered uniquely pale during that era, the true Pilsner style is actually a rich coppery gold by today's standards.
As other lager styles evolved from that point onwards, their development was adapted to the cultures and climates of virtually every part of the globe, often moving to less dramatic styles of hopping.
Holding true to the ideals of the original hop loving Bohemian brewers, New Zealand pilsner beer begins with the fresh herbal aroma of fine hops and proceeds on to a complex sweet malty mouthfeel. It has a dry bitter finish with an explosive hop tang that cleanses and revitalizes. 1050 1050
