And you also have a few Czech micros making pretty good ales, the IPA's from Kocour and Matuška are really good.Pivní Filosofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17883511608403454943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5042627331437123482.post-37692490697660814862010-06-24T11:07:31.947+02:002010-06-24T11:07:31.947+02:00I was just wandering what are some of the good Ale...I was just wandering what are some of the good Ales you can get in Prague/Czech R.?

Price (most people will be more willing to pay more for something stronger), the need to drink something different than the usual stuff (and these beers are different at first sight), in the US, the lack of pub culture (the extreme beer phenomenon doesn't seem to be very strong in the UK, Germany and CZ) and drinking habits. To me, drinking beer is part of my daily life, as much as I like strong, complex beers, it is the simple ones that I drink on a daily basis.Pivní Filosofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17883511608403454943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5042627331437123482.post-47444439279678673812010-06-22T14:46:26.491+02:002010-06-22T14:46:26.491+02:00I wonder if it a question of demographic?

Perhaps as you get a bit older, into your mid thirties perhaps, you start to appreciate simpler but better made things rather than the latest greatest craze. Just a thought mind.Alistair Reecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15929927359428659775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5042627331437123482.post-74109529940448053682010-06-22T07:03:07.706+02:002010-06-22T07:03:07.706+02:00I'm not bothered by those super mega boozy and...I'm not bothered by those super mega boozy and over hopped beers, in fact, I do like drinking them sometimes (provided they are good, that is). What bothers me is the disproportionate attention they demand. Just a quick look at the top 50 of rate beer is proof of that. How come that there isn't a single session beer in there?Pivní Filosofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17883511608403454943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5042627331437123482.post-28254595042961892262010-06-21T14:15:56.369+02:002010-06-21T14:15:56.369+02:00"brewing something like Barnstormer isn't..."brewing something like Barnstormer isn't so easy and deserves more praise" - amen to that!! The current obsession with super mega boozy and over hopped beers is driving me nuts because the simple classics, simple in the sense of limited ingredients, are so damned difficult to do well and good ones should be praised highly.Velky Alhttp://www.fuggled.netnoreply@blogger.com
