Pilsen

I'm translating a menu from Portuguese to English and am wondering if pilsen beer in Brazil is the same as Pilsner in the United States. Can't find conclusive answers online....

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Lager by any other name... Carlsberg's tagline "Probably the best beer in the world" was created in 1973 by Saatchi and Saatchi for the UK market.

Pilsner (also pilsener or simply pils) is a type of pale lager. It took its name from the city of Pilsen (Plzeň, Bohemia, Czech Republic, where it was first produced in 1842).[1] The original Pilsner Urquell beer is still produced there today.

Afinal Pilsen ou Lager?

Pilsen ou Lager?
O que me motivou a escrever esse post foi a grande confusão que as cervejarias brasileiras causam ao denominar suas cervejas de Pilsen. Começo de papo: NENHUMA CERVEJA NACIONAL DAS GRANDES MARCAS É PILSEN. NENHUMA!
O que me motivou a escrever esse post foi a grande confusão que as cervejarias brasileiras causam ao denominar suas cervejas de Pilsen. Começo de papo: NENHUMA CERVEJA NACIONAL DAS GRANDES MARCAS É PILSEN. NENHUMA! Tecnicamente elas pertencem ao estilo chamado American Lager. Elas pertencem sim à mesma família de cervejas, mas possuem significativas diferenças entre si.
