One of my favorites while stationed in Germany was a Czeck beer called
'Pilsner Urquell'.
Pilsner type beer is named after it.

Actually Pilsner Urquell (a fairly decent beer) got it's name from the
area, Plzen.
The beer is named for the town,' pilsner' , meaning what they brew in
plzen. All the rest of the so called pilsners are named for Urquell,
the only brewery in town for, I think, 400 years. Pilsener is a
common claim, Urquell is the only true one. Pretty good beer. Some
think it is the worlds best. Hard claim to verilfy, maybe if you
specify high volumn.
Carlsberg and Tuborg, Danish, were good forty years ago last time I
had some. Beer is always on charter at every newsgroup.
