Beer

You can get black label in loads of other counties. Tastes way better than the piss you get there.

Yeah its a higher ABV than the regular muck. Depends on your tolerance when it comes to drinking lager I guess.
 
Lager is lovely done right. Unfortunately in the UK most of it is watered down piss full of glucose syrup.

Donzoko, Utopian & Braybrooke are great UK lager breweries. Pretty much everything else is swill.

Forget the name of that German one we had in The Colmore (wasn't a mainstream brand) but it was cracking

Yeah German and Czech lagers are the best, I'm not a big lager drinker, mainly in the Summer if I get hot and sweaty in the garden.
Keep meaning to try Green Monkey at our local Joules pub.

I was over in Bratislava & Brno for New Years, best lager in the world in my opinion, not just the beer itself but the way it's served and the pride they take in it.

Yeah we had some great beers in the wilds of Czech Republic (as it was then). Unfortunately it was a while ago and I can't remember what they were.

Únětice is the best I've had there.

Kozel Černý is a great dark lager as well and the pour they do when they mix light & dark beer is brilliant.

The low market price is great for the consumer but not brilliant for start ups or microbreweries, they just can't compete with established Czeck/Slovak brands. If you Google a list of current Czech beers it'll almost certainly be exactly the same breweries and beers that were being served while you were there.

Similar but different problem in Germany. The Reinheitsgebot restricts breweries to using 4 ingredients (water, malted barley or wheat, hops, yeast) which has been amazing traditionally for the quality of the beer but kills any attempt at creativity. You get breweries which have been running for hundreds of years and have perfected their particular style but no new and exciting breweries.
 
I really need to write down the beers I try when we're touring in Europe. We tend to be in out of the way places and end up with some local, random beers.
