I happened across this beer in my local beer store, and had to try it.... I have to say, its damn fu*kin good.....
Anyone else tried this??? Roman??? Pisis???
The beer "Czechvar" is distinguished by its fine, delicious, slightly sweetish taste, with pleasant hop scent and bitterness. Its taste represents a perfect harmony from the specific flavor of Moravian malt, fine Saaz hops from northern Bohemia and the high-quality, crystal clear water. The water is drawn via 300meter deep artesian wells from a 10,000 year-old Ice Age lake, located under our brewery. Pristine pure this water helps give Czechvar its delicious taste. The unique properties of the basic materials are enhanced in B.B.N.P., which is nowadays one of the most dynamically growing Czech firms, by the long tradition from generations of brewers who have raised this beer to its current form. The result of all the above is the top-quality taste, balanced to an extent that invite you for another draft.
Right off the label, mate.
And Les, never heard of that one. But based upon the description, I would have bought it too.
Sooooo... how much??
I've seen that beer in my local liquor store - gotta give it a try!
Well Les,
Anyway American Bud is a piss beer for me and has nothing to do with that original Czech Budweiser.
that's definately true
BTW , the Staropramen which is brewed in Klin (small town in Russia 40 km north of Moscow) tastes somehow different as the original one in Praque
Well Les,
so for a first time in your life you drunk a real Bud
I drunk it in N.Y. last year for a first time and never before. After I got back home found out that this is our Budweiser. Don´t know if you guys know it but Budweiser is the original Czech Beer and also a trade mark. The brewery is in Ceske Budejovice whose German name is Budweis...
Our country fights all over the world with that damn American Bud for the trade mark as it was really stolen. In some countries (perhabs China and some European countries) we won, in some countries as USA we lost. On my opinion there are very strong lawyers in USA. And that´s why we have to use Czechvar there instead of Budweiser in USA.
Anyway American Bud is a piss beer for me and has nothing to do with that original Czech Budweiser. So no wonder Les you like Czechvar. Am I right Adler?
And BTW, Budvar (in Czech) or Budweiser (international) is one of the official sponsors of Czech Ice Hockey Team. There´s a Ice Hockey Word Championship in Canada in May 2008, I´m curious under which name this beer will be presented there
