I recently had a beer from an American brewery called Pipeworks from Chicago called [Alla Salute](https://imgur.com/a/k1P6JyZ). It was a wonderful beer for the warm weather and made me curious exactly what was an “Italian Style Pilsner.” I found this article and it was a very nice story. My fav quote from the article is the bit: [Speaking about Agostinio Arioli, the creater of the style] -“Here was this super passionate dude standing by his beer, just proud as could be and open to talking about how he made his beer,” says Brynildson. “I met him and fell in love with his beer, his enthusiasm, and his passion. In typical Italian style, everything had an exclamation point at the end. We were instantly best friends.”

  3. The tipical italian pilsner (lager) you find here is a shitty beer made with corn instead of hops because it’s cheaper (Peroni, Ichnusa ecc.)

  4. the main difference with traditional pils is that additional hops are added during fermentation (dry hopping)

    however, we are not talking about a true style, at least according to the BJCP, because there are important differences in OG, alcohol content and IBUs between the different products bearing this name
