Based on this, the plural could be used pilsneresalthough it is unusual. But usage is more in favor of grave or flat accentuation (pilsneres by analogy with the plural characters). Example: “The canteen was open at certain hours: soft drinks, malts, and pilseneres were sold at low cost.” (Méndez, 1970, p. 24).
