You know a wise man once said that 'the taste of the beer is in the drinking' and I hold with him a hundred percent. As a connoisseur of every thing drinkable, I have come to the conclusion that milk is for kids, tea is for those who seek refuge in herbs, wine is for the soft hearted and beer is for the strong. Talking of beer, I must add that not all beer is good beer. This might sound pretty hard line but experience has taught me that it is either Czech beer for me, or nothing else. Czech beer epitomizes everything desirable in a quality drink. Whether you are looking for something to quench your thirst, to lift your spirits, drown your sorrows or just great beer, I will recommend that you sample a bottle of my favourite Gambrinus or Budvar or Staropramen or Radegast or... I could go on forever. In fact, in a nutshell, if you asked me to make a last wish before I died, I would ask to be served the Nigerian national meal (pounded yam, okra soup and cooked sardines) and a cool bottle of clear refreshing 10 degree Plzensky Prazdoj, after which I would gladly rest in peace. That is how much Czech beer means to me.
