Pilsener - Pilsner

I noticed Pilsner Urquell is listed as a "Pilsener" in the table. I believe that the Pilsner Urquell brewed in Poland is a "Pilsener", that is brewed in the style of Pilsen. The Pilsner Urquell brewed in Pilsen is a "Pilsner", that is brewed in Pilsen and in the style of Pilsen. Also the brewery in Pilsen I believe brews three beers: 1) Pilsner Urquell (exported) 2) Pilsner Urquell for domestic consumption (a less hoppy version) 3) a low alcohol beer, typically for consumption a domestic factories.--CSvBibra 20:36, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Location?

Where exactly in the town is the brewery? We need a street address and longitude/latitude coordinates. --24.21.149.124 (talk) 08:24, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Answer to Location

Hi, I actually live in Pilsen, so, here you go: the address of the brewery is U Prazdroje 7, Plzeň 3, 304 97 (3 is the municipal district, 304 97 is the postal code). The GPS coordinates are 49°44'48.37"N; 13°23'14.12"E (the centerpost of the main gate of the brewery), according to http://amapy.centrum.cz/, an e-map server. Hope this helps. Woulda put it in myself, except I don't know in which infobox this stuff goes.

-sidenote- I also changed the word "town" to "city" in the headline (regarding Pilsen). Rationale: according the Czech administrative directives, Pilsen has a higher status than most other towns (basically, the municipality equals a whole district in its administrative rights). While the Czech language doesn't distinguish between "town" and "city" (both are just "město"), this difference in administrative rights is usually accentuated in translation by according the title "city". About five municipalities in the country have the status. Second, inhabitant count: in the Czech rep., where only the capital has over 1 million, settlements over 100 000 are considered "cities". Pilsen has about 160 000. Third, by the original British rule - whichever town has a cathedral church and is therefore the religious center of a diocese shall be called city, no matter its size. Pilsen has a cathedral church and is the seat of a bishop of the Catholic church (although the British rule originally concerns only the Church of England, I think this can be safely extended). Fourth, as a reasonably patriotic Pilsener, I just hate to think of my home as a "town" :-) . —Preceding unsigned comment added by Misacek01 (talk • contribs) 18:54, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
