It's Thanksgiving weekend here in the olde USA, and I'm enjoying the spoils of my recent re-visit to the Czech Republic. I bought two varieties of Becherovka (Lemond and KV14) as well as the original classic, which is the lne variety sold here.
I am not a big beer drinker, but no trip to Prague is legitimate without drinking their beer. I thoroughly enjoyed several pints of unfiltered Pilsner Urquell beer, as well as a few of the other mass-produced beers (Kozel, Gambrinus, etc.).
Great! Finally someone drinks beer around here! Belated cheers, Jim.
Meanwhile, here in Oslo I'm hung over as hell. Partied untill 6 in the morning, and got up at 1 PM. No one can tell me that I'm 40, mentally, even if the body is!
(I probably had around 16-17 beers of different kinds last night).
Newman drinking beer out of a baked-bean-tin, they must have paid PN millions, does the US still sell bake-bean tin beer? it doesn't look refreshing.
Try Neff imported lager German, its an award winner in a glass bottle 660ml, it has a monk/abbot picture. £3.95 a bottle, a good/deal if you consider some pubs water there lager down, shit brand barrels, no quality suppliers now.

Paul Newman enjoying that beer shows just how great of an actor he was. Although that can design is passé, many breweries here in the US can their beer. I used to resist getting beer in a can, but a lot of craft microbreweries are now canning their beer, so there is quite a variety of great beer now available in cans in the US.
Anyone know when the U.S. no longer allowed advertising to depict someone drinking an alcoholic beverage?
I did chime in a few times back in the day. I think the conversation had shifted a bit when I started contributing.
Back on topic, recently I have been enjoying Sierra Nevada's Celebration Ale. An excellent IPA. Too bad this isn't available year-round!
For Thanksgiving I was at my neighbors, and I pulled what I thought was one of these bottles out of his fridge. It turned out to be the 2014 version. Despite being over three years old it was surprisingly drinkable. Most beer after that long is a lot more skunky.
Cheers and Merry Christmas to my fellow imbibers which I suppose just means you, Thor.
No Jim. I'm another of those weak-willed imbibers. So that's three of us. Cheers! Plenty of wines on the menu tonight to help get through the Xmas dinner with family members I normally wouldn't cross the street to see. That's the spirit!

Of course, Graham! Whether it's with the S or without, cheers to you and your Spanish alter ego.
And speaking of Spain and the like, I have a bottle of Cava among my booze fortifications set aside for New Year's Eve (along with the first two Thin Man films) for my annual hunkering down during the revelries.
