Beer

[Akoss Poo a.k.a. Zorromeister]

Gambrinus Originál (CZE) 10°, 4.3%, around 17-20 CZK in shops or supermarkets (0.5l can or bottle) - this is the most popular beer in the Czech republic, and I can understand why... good, bitter, typical Czech type beer, nothing wrong with it - 7/10

Gambrinus Excelent (CZE) 11°, 4.7%, around 18-20 CZK in shops or rather in supermarkets (0.5l can) - well, this time the higher extract content did not mean a better or more unique taste... though it can be felt that this beer is a bit stronger (as for the alcohol content at least) - 7/10

Gambrinus nepasterizovaný (CZE), ?, ?, draught in a Czech pub for 28 CZK (0.5l mug) - though I think it is a bit watery (draught beer), it had a clearly good taste, I enjoyed its every sip in the pub while we were watching an ice hockey game - 6.5/10

Kozel Medium / Sve'tlý Ležák (CZE) 11°, 4.6%, around 18-22 CZK in Czech shops or supermarkets (0.5l bottle), well, I know this beer well from Slovakia, this is still a very good one - 8/10

Kozel (CZE), 11°, 4.6%, draught in a Czech pub for 29 CZK (0.5l mug) - well, this beer is not as good when it's draught (?watered) when it is in a can or in a bottle... but a reasonable price beer in a quality Czech pub near our accomodation, where we were watching the CZE-SWE ice hockey WCH match (SWE won 6-5 after shootout) - 5.5/10

Samson (CZE), ?°, 4.7%, draught in the Wenceslas Square (Václavské náme'stí) for 40 CZK (0.5l, plastic glass)... it was good after a good Czech sausage there (60 or 70 CZK for a 200-250 g piece of grilled spicy sausages + a baguette), but nothing special... wasn't too watery, but wasn't too tasty either - 5/10

Primátor Polotmavý (CZE) 13°, 5.5%, bought in a Czech shop for ~24 CZK, this is a semi-dark beer (somewhere I've read that this is rather a red beer)... well, for me, it is a bit too strong, concentrated beer where the extract content of the beer and the alcohol fades the bitter taste of the hop. Though, my girlfriend liked it very much. For me - 5.5/10 (though the quality of the beer can be felt in its taste)

Staropramen Sve'tlý (Pale) (CZE), 10°, 4.0%, bought in a Czech small shop for ~17 CZK, well, this beer is much much weaker than the 12° (Ležák, Premium Lager)... actually, they have nothing to do with each other... this beer is rather average and dilute, watery - 4.5/10

Zlatopramen (CZE) 11°, 4.9%, bought in a Czech small shop for 35 CZK (2l bottle) - one of the best price/value ratio beers I've ever tasted... though seeing the price of this beer in other shops, I'm always sure that this beer was somehow mis-priced in this shops (where btw the shop assistants were Chinese)... good bitter taste and aroma, nothing wrong with it, typical Czech beer - 7.5/10

Svijany (CZE) Svijanský Máz 11°, 4.8%, bought in a Czech supermarket for 15-18 CZK (0.5l bottle) - average beer, a little bit sweeter than most of the Czech beers... can be good when chilled when you are thristy, but nothing special - 5.5/10

Pilsner Urquell (CZE) 12°, 4.4%, bought in a Czech Tesco for 26-27 CZK (0.5l bottle) - we can be relieved, it is exactly the same as it is sold in Hungary (a real import beer here, not a license beer or a fake import beer) - still 10/10, basic beer for me

Brought home to be tasted:
Rychtár' (CZE) 12°, 5.0%, bought in a Czech supermarket for 18-21 CZK (0.5l bottle)
Lobkowicz (CZE) 12°, 4.7%, bought in a Czech supermarket for 33 CZK (0.5l bottle)
Primátor Premium 12°, 5.0%, bought in a Czech supermarket for 18-21 CZK (0.5l bottle)

1 CZK = 10.97 HUF

some weeks ago: Estrella Galícia (Spain Galiza, with brazilian version): I liked a lot

[BonzaiJoe]

I've stopped drinking past 2-3 beers since new year's. For the first four months of the year, I have not once had more than 4 beers in a night.

But Diesel Joe is still drinking.

[alanrotoi]

Wow I guess my last alcohol drink was last new year. I also stopped to drink soda (Cocacola, 7up, etc.). Only water (Villavicencio) and few times Cepita (sweet peach juice).

[BonzaiJoe]

And mate?

[Shoegazing Leo]

I drinked a 600ml Bohemia bottle 50 minutes ago.

[alanrotoi]

I don't drink mate usually because I can't drink very hot liquids, so if I drink mate I do it alone.

[Akoss Poo a.k.a. Zorromeister]

Well... forever Czech beers, forever Czech sausage, forever ice hockey WCH in the Czech Republic!

My beer Excel table is updated now. Mostly Romanian, Slovakian and Czech beers were added to the list.

Consideration should be given to:

Primátor Premium (12^o) 8.5 pts (CZE) 5.0% - a beer from a brewery not owned by a multinational company. Excellent taste. Feels like a beer which I haven't drunk for at least 8-10 years... feels like a beer which is missing from the shelves of the supermarkets. Because a little bit most of the beers tastes a little bit the same. Beer from a multinational beer company. Most of the breweries are owned by them. Not this one. For me, now Primátor Premium has an unique taste. Recommended for everyone who travels to the Czech Republic.

Neumarkt 1.5 pts (ROM) 5.2% - awful beer with a very strange taste which appears in my month after swallowing the beer. Recommended for no-one who travels to Romania. Worst beer I've drunk recently. Close to 1.0 pts.
