I would love to try my hand at making a Czech pilsner (what with a good chunk of my family being from not too far from the town where the style originated), but I just don't have the patience to wait 3 months for it to get ready (to those that don't know, the term lager is German for "storage") nor the type of refrigeration needed to keep the beer at the low temp required (around 50 degrees Fahrenheit).
I tried brewing a lager once (a schwarzbier) and it turned out well, but Ales take so much less time, I've decided to stick with those for my homebrew exploits. If I decide to do a lager again, it's likely going to be a Marzen (Oktoberfest), just so I can call it Jacquestoberfest.
