Should You Have A Lager or a Pilsner? Why Not Both?

The title of this column is a bit of a trick question.  Pilsners are, of course, a subset of lagers.  Lagers can range from crystal clear and nearly colourless to inky black and thick. Pilsners are in the former category and have long dominated the North American mass market.  It could be argued that many of these beers are pilsners in name only and fall woefully short of the often ethereal versions that have long been a part of artisanal beer production in many European countries.

There is a lot of confusion these days surrounding wine with labels containing the words ‘Certified Organic’, ‘Biodynamic’, and ‘Natural’.

I’m going to try to explain what these all mean, along with their differences, in simple terms for you.
