On this episode of Our American Stories, today, nearly every major American lager traces its roots back to a revolutionary beer first brewed in 1842 in the city of Pilsen, located in what is now the Czech Republic. Clear, crisp, and unlike anything drinkers had seen before, Pilsner quickly spread across Europe before German immigrants carried their taste for the style to the United States.

Author Tom Acitelli, writer of Pilsner: How the Beer of Kings Changed the World, shares the remarkable story of how a beer from the Austrian Empire helped inspire brewing giants like Budweiser, Miller, and Pabst, survived Prohibition, and became the most influential beer style in America.
