Get ready for #PilsDay this year. Celebrate the 171st anniversary of the first pilsner beer being brewed in Pilsen, Bohemia, known today as the Czech-Republic. October 5th, 1842 marks the glorious day that the first pale-golden lager was presented and enjoyed. Bavarian brewer Josef Groll used new techniques, paler malts, Pilsen's remarkably soft water, local Saaz noble hops from Zatec and the Bavarian-style layering to produce a golden beer that was refreshing and sensational. Ever since then, breweries such as Narragansett have been continuing on this tradition with craft brews such as our Bohemian Pils. So next Saturday, October 5th, raise a glass of Pils to toast the beer that started it all. #PilsDay
