Afinal Pilsen ou Lager?

Pilsen ou Lager?
O que me motivou a escrever esse post foi a grande confusão que as cervejarias brasileiras causam ao denominar suas cervejas de Pilsen. Começo de papo: NENHUMA CERVEJA NACIONAL DAS GRANDES MARCAS É PILSEN. NENHUMA!
O que me motivou a escrever esse post foi a grande confusão que as cervejarias brasileiras causam ao denominar suas cervejas de Pilsen. Começo de papo: NENHUMA CERVEJA NACIONAL DAS GRANDES MARCAS É PILSEN. NENHUMA! Tecnicamente elas pertencem ao estilo chamado American Lager. Elas pertencem sim à mesma família de cervejas, mas possuem significativas diferenças entre si.
