Actually Pilsner Urquell (a fairly decent beer) got it's name from the
area, Plzen.

You're going to enjoy brewing. Once you get into it, you'll be
tweaking your recipes to get them to taste exactly the way YOU want
them to.

US beer is swill of course, but you can get Heinekin at 90% of the
places that sell beer.

Heineken sucks. My home made puts it to shame.
Oops...jumping the gun a bit.
But I'm getting in mental shape.

Go in the gas station and buy Budweiser because Heinekin sucks. I
didn't say H. was the worlds best beer, just the best one available at
nearly every beer outlet in the US. Go drink some Miller and come back
and tell me how bad Heinekin is. There is a bar in Boulder with a
hundred bottled beers and a dozen on draft. I drank Pilsner Urquell,
the beer Pilsen type beer is name after. There are any number of good
beers, Too bad they are hard to find in the US. As for home brew, tell
me how to make 14% stuff from corn, and I will fire up the still. Good
vodka is much easier than beer.

Casady

Performed the test yesterday. I am here to tell you Miller Light, my
usual, tastes better than Heiniken in a can. Heinekin seems to have a
watery chemical taste.

Just my humble opinion.

Well, HK is probably his real name, so pay him heed. There are very
few here who use their real names. But then, maybe you're only seeing
five or six posters.

Hell, if Reginald Smithers,III is good enough for *The Shirt*, then
it's good enough for me.

Actually Pilsner Urquell (a fairly decent beer) got it's name from the

The beer is named for the town,' pilsner' , meaning what they brew in
plzen. All the rest of the so called pilsners are named for Urquell,
the only brewery in town for, I think, 400 years. Pilsener is a
common claim, Urquell is the only true one. Pretty good beer. Some
think it is the worlds best. Hard claim to verilfy, maybe if you
specify high volumn.
Carlsberg and Tuborg, Danish, were good forty years ago last time I
had some. Beer is always on charter at every newsgroup.

There's a big difference between the bottled version and draft. We used to
keep it on tap in a kegerlator in Florida because it was the most popular
beer in the neighborhood we lived in. Not quite as heavy as Sam Adams, not
as good, but not bad.
Speaking of beer, when I quit 30 some odd years ago, there wasn't a
lot of choices in terms of beer - regional beers yes, but all these
speciality beers - no way.

I was sent on an errand up to Yankee Spirits in Sturbridge the other
day to pick up some wine for Mrs. Wave's Female Bonding party turn. I
walked through the place and all the freakin' beer - wheat this, berry
that - hell, I even saw actual mead - mead!! Who the hell drinks mead?

I counted something like two hundred thirty some odd types of beer.

Somehow it figures. :)
You mentioned Dixie beer a few days ago, Dixie was a really great beer
if you had no sense of smell or taste

Dixie was one of those beers that you either liked or hated.

Personally, I liked it - a lot - too much in fact. :)

That must have been with you were at LSU.
