Pilsners: what's your top 5?

Top 5? Hm...Let see:
Pyraser Hopfenpflücker (DE)
Weltenburger Kloster Pils (DE)
Nymburk Postrizinske Francinuv Lezak (CZ)
Svijansky Knize (CZ)
Svijansky Máz (CZ)

 

Jacks Abby Sunny Ridge
Sixpoint The Crisp
(I don't really need a third through fifth but, anyway...)
Northcoast Scrimshaw
Firestone Pivo
SN Summerfest

 

there's Birrificio Italiano Tipopils (hope this is still on tap when I visit Norfolk in a few weeks)

and the rest:
Victory Prima Pils
Victory Braumeister Pils
Victory Harvest Pils
Heater Allen Pils

 

I prefer German pilsners personally, so it's a biased (Czech-less) list:

Wolters
Paulaner Premium
Jever
Kulmbacher
Full Sail (it's a wild card pick I know, but it's quite good)

 

SN Nooner
Real Ale Hans Pils
Bohemia
Griffin Claw Grand Trunk Pilsner
Warsteiner premium Pilsner

 

I've only got 4, but I see some great suggestions here that I'll have to try.

Sierra Nevada Nooner
Victory Prima
Neshaminy Trauger
FW Pivo

 

Keesmann Herren Pils.
Rothaus.
Krusovice.
Alt Bamberg Pils.
Sixpoint The Crisp.

That's five but I could easily name a few more if I really thought about it.

 

I don't have particularly wide ranging experience with pilsners but I do love these 5, roughly in order:

1) Sierra Nevada Nooner
2) Victory Prima Pils
3) Six Point The Crisp
4) Firestone Walker Pivo Pils
5) Peak Organic Fresh Cut

I was recently disappointed to find that I did not like Jack's Abby's Sunny Ridge much at all, which was surprising since I love JA and generally gravitate to German style pilsners.

 

Straub Pilsner
Troegs Sunshine Pils
Victory Prima Pils
Sierra Nevada Summertime
SlyFox Pikeland and Sierra Nevada Nooner would be 6, so I will just say a tie.

It is a great time to like Pils.

 

Hill Farmstead Mary?

 

This reminds me that I need to get to the old country since I've really only had limited experiences with German/Czech pilsners and they have mostly been old bottles/cans and a few random kegs, but only of the main ones like Urquell. Victory has made so many, usually draft only, that it would be too much to list so I will mix it up a bit:
Victory Braumeister
Moonlight Reality Czech
Victory Prima Pils
Troeg's Sunshine
Live Oak Pilz

 

I'm actually in PA this weekend and picked up a 6er of this, such a great Pilsner. Thanks for bringing this to my attention- I haven't seen Gudenhoppy on the shelves and for a second I thought it could have just been rebranded.

 

5. Prima Pils
4. Piercing Pils -DFH
3. Czech Pils - Lagunitas
2. Scrimshaw
1. SOS Pilsner - Abita

Nooner rubbed me the wrong way. It used to be a solid session IPA when it was first brewed. Now it's just a rather unimpressive pilsner.

 

I don't know how I fogged out on this one but Dinkel Acker CD-Pils is another I enjoy quite a bit. Has that nice bite on the finish I enjoy.

 

Czech Pils only for me. My favorites being Koutska 12, fresh Pilsner Urquell, and Měšťanský pivovar v Poličce.

 

All Czech pilsners:

Nikolob – Rockford Brewing
Edel-Pils – New Glarus Brewing
Mama’s Little Yellow Pils – Oscar Blues
Schafly Pilsner – Schafly Brewing
Lagunitas Pils – Lagunitas
Pecks Pilsner – Great Dane Brewing

 

Available in Tennessee

1. Victory Prima Pils
2. SN Nooner
3. Wiseacre Tiny Bomb
4. Lagunitas Pils
5. SN Summerfest

Used to get Stoudt's but can't find it anymore.
