The pilsner, a style of lager beer, was invented in the Czech city of Pilsen — the Pilsner Urquell brand of beer is based in the city and correctly calls itself the "original" pilsner.

Czech cuisine isn't as well ... the world and for good reason – its beer is top-notch. After all, Pilsners were invented only 60 miles southeast in Pilsen. As such, pub culture is very important.
