I saw that too. If I need to tell them apart I usually read the label.
I like good beer of all sorts. But my pallet probably isn't as discriminating enough to tell even a light ale from either of those.

Umm-a Pilsner is a lager.
What a stupid article. It's even written in the article itself. All Pilsners are lagers but not all lagers are pilsners. You COULD write a piece about how Pilsners are different from all the other lager styles (but no, that's not how it's written at all). It's mostly incoherent like a high school freshman research paper.

I wonder why commenting is turned off.
What's the difference between hatch backs and cars? What's the difference between peppers and vegetables? What's the difference between a good writer and a human?
I had to email the author or I wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

The article didn't go far enough. Perhaps, "How to tell a Pilsner from a Beer?"
A very large percentage of internet articles like these are written by bots. The "author" selects from a list of topics and sends the bot out to glean the internet for information and rearrange what it finds into a finished article. It used to be easy to spot a bot written article but the technology is getting better... they're just not getting smarter about the subject matter.

Rather than looking at the text of the article, maybe look at the URL for the article.
Too funny! Sometimes we run across something that we just can't walk away from.
Would you trust the Washington Post or Los Angeles times newspapers? Wired magazine? How about the Associated Press? All use artificial intelligence to write articles. A computer program is used by Wikipedia and millions of wiki entries have been written by their AI.Rather than looking at the text of the article, maybe look at the URL for the article.

The beer related article that was mentioned in OP was from yahoo. In this case, I find this to be one book web site that can be judged by its cover URL. 
Almost as bad as someone saying they don't like scotch but like whiskey!.....ALL SCOTCHES ARE WHISKEYS, NOT ALL WHISKEYS ARE SCOTCHES!
this is like porter and stout? which was explain to me as a stout person is fat, and a porter is a person who carries baggage?
so a pilsner would be a person that's using adderal? and lager someone who procrastinates a lot? not sure?

In both situations (beer & hotels), one can have stout porters.

so what you're saying is even a pilsner popping adderall, can still procrastinate?
edit: just tried to clarify and now i have this image in my head....
One can enjoy whiskey and not Scotch. Scotch is a whisky.
I do enjoy a good Irish whiskey.
Redbreast and Green Spot, FTW.
Lagavulin is all I need!

Can't tell if the author is a dumb@ss or a moron; Oh wait, I have a topic of an article I can write and sell to Yahoo...... 
Whiskey, whisky. Scotch. Speyside, Islay, Highland. Bourbon, wheated bourbon. Even the better expressions from Tennessee are ok. Canadian or Irish blended. Rye.
It's all good.

Thst is modern day jouralism. Find a video on YouTube and recap it or use Twitter as your source and call it writing instead of actually tracking down a story and talking to sourcesCan't tell if the author is a dumb@ss or a moron; Oh wait, I have a topic of an article I can write and sell to Yahoo......

That's because Scotch is "whisky", NOT "whiskey."
the key to scotch though for the signature taste, is you need to dump all your cigarette butts in the still before distilling it!

Au contraire! A good Islay or Speyside requires a good cigar, preferably ash-free.the key to scotch though for the signature taste, is you need to dump all your cigarette butts in the still before distilling it!

I get why you're all bashing the article/author, but I think that has largely to do with the view of beers as subdivided into styles. This is very common among homebrewers, but not necessarily among regular consumers. And honestly, even most breweries in Germany and Belgium (probably other places, too) don't seem to care too much about styles. A Bavarian brewery will usually label their beer just as "Lager Hell" or even simply "Lager", without any reference to the style "Bavarian Helles".
So while comparing Pilsner and Lager does not make any sense in the Michael-Jackson/BJCP view of beer, that view is not the only feasible view of the world of beer. And as long as breweries sell beer simply as "Lager", there's no reason you couldn't compare those beers to pilsners.

On topic, and still somewhat silly, while watching college football a few years back, the ticker at the bottom reported "Army beats Kent State." If you're old enough, you get it.
