Been drinking this lager now for a few months in the Souters yard pub in Shoreham high street and can honestly say its a taste sensation, without doubt the best lager in history just wondering is their any other pubs in Sussex selling this little beauty

no - for me sapporo is the best lager ever which is presumably why Tesco charge me £2.20 a can for it. Runner-up Kirin Ichiban.

You have misspelt the name. Best lagers are Meantime London, Flying Dog Atlantic or Rothaus.

I prefer the Pale Ale but Meantime is incredible and I say that as a Bitter drinker.

Only problem - stupidly expensive.

I do love an Estrella.

Camden Hells lager, Brooklyn, or Meantime are the daddies of the lager world right now.

I am now I've just looked it up This article is about the beer. For the brewery that produces that beer, see Plzeňský Prazdroj.

Pilsner Urquell

Manufacturer Pilsner Urquell Brewery
Introduced 1842
Style Bottom-fermented beer

Main gate of the Plzeňský Prazdroj
Plzeňský Prazdroj (IPA:*[ˈpl̩.zɛɲskiː ˈprazdroj], Original Source of Pilsner), known better by its German name Pilsner Urquell (IPA: [ˈpɪlznɐ ˈʔuːɐ̯ˌkvɛl]), is a bottom-fermented beer produced since 1842 in Pilsen, part of today's Czech Republic. Pilsner Urquell was the first pilsner beer in the world. Today it is a prominent brand of the global brewing empire SABMiller.

Pilsner Urquell is more strongly hopped than most pilsner beers. Saaz hops, a noble hop variety, are a key element in its flavour profile, as are the use of soft water[1] and fire-brewing.[2] It is available in a 330 ml, as well as 12oz {355ml}, and a 500ml (half litre) in both aluminium cans and green bottles.

Almost all draft Pilsner Urquell available throughout the world is served via keg dispense under carbon dioxide pressure, and has been since the 1960s. However, small quantities of the beer in cask conditioned form, dispensed from wooden casks are sometimes made available in the Czech Republic and have also been seen in the United Kingdom during 2012.[3]

The cask version of Pilsner Urquell is unpasteurised, unfiltered and naturally conditioned with no added CO2, and is far closer in character to the way the beer would have been in the 19th century.
