As long as they keep prices around the same they'll be fine - although I know a large segment of they regulars are all Gamcrap freaks.

I guess you are right, after all, in many supermarkets you can find rubbish like Corona, Foster's, Desperados, etc...

BTW... Jama is switching beer suppliers... KBT, with 8 taps, or so I've heard... Good for them...

If they could set it up in the Billa on V Celnice like they did with the Belgian beers then you never know, plus with places like Jama catering to Americans, I think there could be a market. Obviously your average Honza won't buy it, but then how many of them save money by buying Svijany instead of Prazdroj?

It might be good, but at, I don't know 60CZK, at least, a 0.35l bottle, few people would buy it, specially when you can go to the supermarket and buy some really good domestic pale lagers for a fraction of the price...

I must correct myself, I was under the impression it was BUL in the UK, but it is in fact imported.

Admittedly I think Samuel Adams Boston Lager would do ok, as long as it is the stuff from American and not the BUL made in the UK.

Al,

Don't worry, Hanz is no fool, and neither am I. Even if those lagers were any good, their price would make them almost impossible to sell...

OH! And these are just five samples, you can see the whole range here, almost at the end of it.

We wanted to bring some other stuff, Yeti, etc... But they weren't available. Next time, for sure...

Great picks ! :-)
It's been only 1 year that in Italy we've started to have a massive selection of American beers, but now I could harly live without them

I love sierra nevada pale ale and the snake dog.
As velky already said the torpedo is faboulous. From the same Dutch importer I would also recommend the classic Titan IPA and the vicious Oak Aged Yeti Imp Stout(Great Divide).
From Flying Dog also the Gonzo Imperial Porter.
By the way, I don't get any royalty neither... :-)

Sierra Nevada is an excellent brewery all round, and their Pale Ale is simply lovely. However, their Torpedo is even better! They do a great weizen, which is very, very similar to Primator's.

One piece of advice, if you want to pass this on to Hanz, is don't bother with any, and I mean ANY, American lagers - they will laughed out of town before you can say boo.
