HA!!! I don't think I'd like to get anywhere close to a maniac like that. Someone who would ask any of us to run Pražské Pivovary would be a menace to society...:)

It would be great if new owners resurrected the Branik brand, especially the dark! Could you imagine if some seriously wealthy maniac decided to bankroll you, myself and Evan running Prazske Pivovary? ;)

"Still I am sure it is better than Prazske Pivovary brewed Stella."

Well, that doesn't a whole lot in terms of quality, does it?

It might be that back then you had one of the last batches of decent Stella, because I still kind of liked Staropramen back in 2005, before things started going downhill... I wonder if the beer will improve once there are new owners.

Read and I actually agree with him, considering I had Stella from Leuven in 2005. Haven't had it since then though so I am prepared to accept it being different. Still I am sure it is better than Prazske Pivovary brewed Stella.

It is interesting that you choose those three beers when talking of origins because in my experience they all taste better on their home turf. Guinness in Ireland is better than elsewhere; Stella in Belgium actually isn't all that bad and of course Pilsner in Pilsen is great. While I miss Czech beer to a certain extent, I am enjoying "drinking local" as Evan would say.
