In the BJCP style guideline, why is "Bohemian Pilsener" spelled
"Pilsener" and not "Pilsner"? I'm guessing it has something to do with
our Bohemian friends, but I haven't found anything to support that.
Ideas?

As I understand it the original Czech citizens call their city Pilsn,
while the Germans call (called) it Pilsen, hence the 2 different beer
style names.
