Prince of Pilsen if you want a cleaner, more straightforward pilsner;
Tipopils if you want something with more character and depth.
Both hit 5% ABV and 38 IBUs, so the real difference is in the brewing philosophy. Three Taverns keeps it focused and drinkable—a no-nonsense German-style take. Tipopils, being Italian-brewed, adds a touch more complexity and a slightly spicier noble hop profile that lingers.

Three Taverns Prince of Pilsen
Prince of Pilsen is what happens when a brewery respects the pilsner template without overthinking it. Clean malt backbone, subtle grain sweetness, and those crisp Saaz hops doing exactly what they're supposed to do. The finish is dry and quick—this beer gets out of the way, which honestly feels right at five percent.
Tipopils
Tipopils feels more alive on the palate. There's a peppery, slightly herbal quality to the hops that makes you sit with it a moment longer. The carbonation is tighter, the malt a hair more pronounced, and there's this pleasant bitterness that sticks around instead of vanishing. It's pilsner-shaped but with an Italian accent.
