History of João Neves - Paraiba, Brasil
In 1830, Pilsen was known for its high-quality beer, but unhappy with a low-quality batch in 1838, the town decided to revolutionize beer production. They built the Bürgerbrauerei, a new modern brewery designed by Martin Stelzer, near the Radbuza River, which had soft water essential for pilsner beer. They hired Bavarian brewmaster Josef Groll and brought advanced technology from Bavaria. In 1842, Josef Groll produced the world's first pilsner beer, a light, refreshing beer that surprised and delighted the people of Pilsen. This is how Pilsner Urquell was born. Pilsen or Pilsener is a type of lager beer, originating in the city of Pilsen (now Plzeň), in Bohemia (now the Czech Republic)... Did you know?
