The French Pilsner is a beer style that some craft lager focused breweries have been making lately, especially throughout America.

But what is a French pilsner? Is it made by French breweries? Does it have traditional roots in France? What do French hops and malt add to this lager? What are its brewing techniques and how are they utilized?

On this episode we talk with  two brewers- one from Southern France and one from America about this up-and-coming beer style and how the French pilsner fits into the evolution of lagers.
