Plzensky Prazdroj ( Pilsner Urquell ) ofcourse, only beer brewed in
Plzen is called Pilsner.
There are two breweries in Plzen, Prazdroj founded 1842 and Gambrinus (1869)
they have a production of 1,400,000 hl and 1,100,000 hl.

I know; that's where I thought I was getting the info from.  Let's do
some quick high-tech data retrieval here ... OK.  From several old
notes, I have found that indeed brown bottles are more effective in
terms of light blockage, but that it's kinda academic because the
detection threshold for mercaptans is so low.  For either color, a
few hours under bright fluorescents or probably less in direct sunlight
will skunk beer in either color bottle, though perhaps less in brown.

I thus stand corrected, sort-of, though what I really meant was that
unless the bottle's opaque you can still get skunked beer.

The beer is called Kwak, actually pauwel Kwak, it is 8.5% alcohol and
sold in 330ml bottles, brewed at the Bosteels brewery in Belgium, the
glass actually reminds me of a 'yard' glass I saw so often at
parties in Australia, these yard glasses if I remember are about a yard
high and very difficult to drink without getting drowned.

Just to mention some names: The most famous malt whisky (by the way:
whiskey is whiskey in Ire and whisky in Scotland) which is aged in 
Sherry casks is The Macallan. Another one is Glendronach, but this

Beware -- I just bought my second case (from different stores, several
months apart) of Pilsner Urquell that was really nasty...  leaking caps,
slimy, infected taste, etc.

Either the Eastern Euro happenings are affecting quality control, or
someone is counterfeiting the stuff.

I advise you to get your dealer to AGREE IN ADVANCE that you can return
any that's bad, because they'll just come on with some variation of
"you're too picky", "I don't control quality, the brewery does", etc.
otherwise.  Sad but true...

While in Montreal, don't worry about finding a brew-pub - simply
go to Old Montreal (rue St-Denis specifically) and go into any one
of the Cafes, or Bistros and enjoy one of the many beers brewed in
micro breweries just outside the city.

A few brands that I really enjoy are (these are mostly available
on tap):
    *** 1-Belle Gueule;
     ** 2-St-Ambroise;
      * 3-Boreal (last choice); and
******* 4-**Blanche de Chambly** (the absolute best, but very rare...
                                  usually found in Quebec city..you
                                  might get lucky in Montreal.)
            Tastes somewhat like Maredsous from Belgium.

Enjoy your trip in Montreal, for it is a fun city...be sure to go to
Old Montreal.

I saw this in the most recent issue of Aviation Week and Space Technology:

BEER BASH
When CSA Czechoslovak Airlines took delivery of its first Boeing 737-500
late last month, it christened it the Plzen, which translates as Pilsner,
the city that made the beer name famous.  The aircraft was, of course, 
christened with genuine Czech pilsner.  Celebrating with beer was new 
to Boeing Test Pilot Suzanna Darcy, who delivered the aircraft and has 
helped train initial CSA crews with Boeing pilot David Carbough. 
"Why not?" she commented.  "After all Nicky Lauda [of Austria's Lauda Air]
names his planes after musicians."


But what kind did they use?  Pilsner Urquell or Budvar?
I can see it now, a whole fleet of aircraft named after famous beer styles!
This is the kind of airline for me.  I wonder what brands of beer they
serve on their flights.

Not got the details to hand re beers (I had the provisional order list
but threw it out last weekend). Needless to say there will be some
300 traditional cask ales from British Independant brewers (and a few
of the better beers from the Nationals) as well as traditional ciders
and perries. Also there will be a fair selection of bottled beers from
the rest of the world.
If I remember correctly, entrance is #3 (1-50 to members) in the
evening and less for the lunchtime sessions.

This must be the Great British Beer Festival.  Attendance should be
made mandatory for all beer drinkers everywhere.  I went to the 10th
GBBF in Brighton a few years ago, and it was amazing beyond words.

Inflation, you know.  At Brighton, your #1 admission also bought you a
pint glass (which I've since LOST!).  Beer prices varied, but a pint
was around #1, and a half was around 50p.  Advice:  go with
half-pints!  I wish I had...

This is one of those really stupid liquor laws. In PA, any beverage
that is _specifically_ labeled "BEER" that is over about %6 alcohol
has to be called Malt Liquor. However, if you call it Ale, Stout,
Barleywine, or virtually anything else, it DOESN"T have to be called
Malt Liquor if it's higher than 6%. Go figure. One notable exception
is some cases of Sammiclaus I've seen on the shelves, which IS called
BEER, but which doesn't carry the Malt Liquor tag. If anything is
close to a malt liquor, this certainly is! Probably slipped in the
back door...;-)

If it was skunky, if was probably due to bad handling.  Exposure to light affects
the hop resins in beer, producing a skunky flavor.  The use of a green bottle
only makes matters worse, as it is not as effective in blocking out light as
a brown one would be.

I guess some marketing types somewhere decided that Americans like to buy
imported beers in green bottles.  It is worth noting that the vast majority of
domestic beers as well as Bavarian beers in 1/2 litre bottles are sold in dark
brown glass.

This is a lament of mine, too, and I live in Denver. Fact is, Coors
beer tastes very different ANYWHERE outside the brewery tasting
room because Coors does not use preservatives in their beer. I
don't know of any other mass-produced beer for which this is true.
It's one of the great beer treats to go to Golden and get fresh beer
at the brewery. But even if you go to the liquor store across the
street from the brewery and buy Coors, it will not be quite as fresh-
tasting as the tasting room.

Guess you'll have to come back to Colorado more often, David  (-:
