    I'm fairly lucky to have a local shop that seems to always have it. We're going on a trip in 2 weeks, I plan on bringing a case of the Weihenstephaner alone, hehe.

    Try to get your hands on Faust and Kneitinger. Kneitinger ships direct via their website, I'm not so sure how easy it is to find Faust, I was lucky and lived near a place that carried it.

    1 FW Pivo Pils by far. Excellent beer, the best Pilsner I have tried.

    2 Prima Pils = Pretty good

    3 Piercing Pils = pretty good

    4 Pilser Urquell = can be good, can be bad = alright

    5 Stella = another alright standard

    I'm not a big Pilsner guy though.

    Haven't had Jever or Trumer I don't believe, or Weihanstephaner (never seen it), but I'm sure they'd be up there.
