Pilsner simply means from Pilsen region and not long ago there were many such beers, but by closure or amalgamation the mighty SABMiller has crushed all that into its Eurokeg. Now some small "from pilsen" beers fight back.

What is it? Oh yeah, a stronger sort of pale lager. Hmmm? Where have I seen that? Wait a second! In Germany, and it's called Helles Bock, and in the Czech Republic and it's called Světlý Speciál! Stop "imperialising" and/or "doubling" things for effings sakes! Good article otherwise. Imperial Pilsner. What is it? Oh yeah, a stronger sort of pale lager. Hmmm? Where have I seen that?
