One of the stores I go to frequently brings in new Eastern European brews. <BR/><BR/>I just picked up some Pivovar Krusovice Cerne Swarzbier and Imperial, both were decent beers.<BR/><BR/>CheersAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11946540539841598718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3200039527744658204.post-14395237065582524292007-12-13T19:17:00.000-05:002007-12-13T19:17:00.000-05:00Well, we'll keep a barstool warm for you over here...Well, we'll keep a barstool warm for you over here, Boston.<BR/><BR/>Can you get Svijany in America?

I think the fact that Budvar can't even use it's own name is a disgrace. I guess my selfish point is that I now get to drink more Budvar. Believe me, I would be much happier had Budvar not done the deal. <BR/><BR/>Na zdravi.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11946540539841598718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3200039527744658204.post-31167496922813846722007-12-10T18:33:00.000-05:002007-12-10T18:33:00.000-05:00Well...

The partnership with Anhorrible-Busch is seen as another capitualtion to the hegemony of the United States.

Budweiser bastardized the recipe so long ago, I would hate to see them do it again. <br /><br />I think the most encouraging aspect of this article is that Budweiser realizes that it can no longer live on selling crap beer alone if it wants to continue to dominate the market.
