Next week I hope to report on the first and only Irish-brewed Altbier, f'rinstance.<BR/><BR/>I quite like a number of beers made by Heineken around the world, though Zlatý Bažant ain't one of 'em.

Thank you. That is all. <BR/><BR/>Nymburk beers are at least Czech, but you'd be hard-pressed to call them local favorites. I've had a few nice pints from Nymburk — my tasting notes rate their Pepinova desítka and Zlatovar the highest, and if you can find their kvasnicové pivo it can be excellent — but there's a lot more going on here now. Which is, I suppose, the whole point of your post.<BR/><BR/>Come... Join us...
