Question

What's the difference between Lager and Pilsner.?

Answer 1

Both a Lager and pilsner are a  Lager style brew.

The word lager comes from the German word lagern which means, "to store". A perfect description as lagers are brewed with bottom fermenting yeast that work slowly at around 34 degrees F, and are often further stored at cool temperature to mature. Lager yeast produce fewer by-product characters than ale yeast which allows for other flavors to pull through, such as hops.  

The difference's beyond that go more in depth, type of lager/pilsner. Do some research.

I am more an Ale type of guy, but I will leave a good resource.

Answer 2

Traditionally, lager is stored for several weeks or longer before being served. Lager is a general term that includes several variations or styles, such as Pilsener, Vienna, and Märzen.

pilsener is a pale lager

The flavor of these lighter lagers is usually mild and the producers often recommend that the beers be served refrigerated. However, the examples of lager beers produced worldwide vary greatly in flavor, color, and composition.

Answer 3

lager is a general term that covers a lot of drinks.

Pilsner styles of beer originate from Bohemia in the Czech Republic. They are medium to medium-full bodied and are characterized by high carbonation and tangy czech varieties of hops that impart floral aromas and a crisp, bitter finish. The hallmark of a fresh pilsner is the dense, white head.
