- It is inaccurate because a pilsener is a type of lager, but not vice-versa.
- Other types of lagers include Dortmunder Export, Oktoberfest, Munich
- Dunkel, and Bock beers to name a few. A Pilsener usually denotes a lager
- in either of the Bohemian and Bavarian styles, and for what it's worth,
- Budmilloors are American Standard Lagers. I would probably call Sam Adams
- lager an "American Amber Lager", although that is not usually one of
- the choices.

- Just when you thought ordering beer was simple ;-)
