What's The Difference Between A Lager And Pilsner Beer?

Lagers and pilsners are two popular beers that aren't equal on the beer hierarchy. While lager indicates a family of beers, pilsner is a specific kind of beer within that subset.

Like lagers, pilsners are bottom-fermenting, cool-temperature beers, but they are exceptionally crisp and clean in look and in taste. They are also hoppier than other lagers.

Since hops make beer bitter, you can expect pilsners to have a tad more bite to them. Ultimately, one can safely say that all pilsners are lagers, but not all lagers are pilsners.
