I used to drink copious amounts of Gambrinus, usually whilst hurling abuse at TV screens in sports bars, and it was really only in the last few years that it has become so hilariously bad (though to be fair, Gambrinus Excelent isn't totally awful). It got to the point, in pubs I watched football in, that I would rather drink PU despite the added cost and smaller servings.Alistair Reecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15929927359428659775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6521229482537361840.post-8948048029292470992011-01-13T04:11:16.784-05:002011-01-13T04:11:16.784-05:00as you say PU from the tank is divine, though I do...as you say PU from the tank is divine, though I do wonder what I would do if offered a Gambrinus or a Bud, might depend in the context, if in the US I would go for G, but when offered it in Prague or Pilsen I am invariably disappointed, best thing about G is the new visitor centre where you can have a go at taking virtual football penalties, I got 3 out of 3Adrian Tierney-Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05421802854011395300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6521229482537361840.post-44318368918401836842011-01-12T14:34:05.280-05:002011-01-12T14:34:05.280-05:00Ah, so it's post-keg.

I think it's easier count the places where it <i>doesn't</i> apply than those where it does, to wit: Belgium, Germany, the Czech and Slovak Republics, the UK (probably just England, actually) and possibly the Netherlands.<br /><br />Everywhere else, I posit, it's relevant. Everywhere else is either countries where there is no history of beer culture, macro beer was the default and the American craft beer revolution has spawned new craft breweries and brewpubs at the opposite end of the industry; or else small countries like Ireland and Denmark where the macros achieved full-spectrum dominance before the anti-monopoly legislation was in place to stop them.<br /><br />In most countries I've been there's a clear distinction between macro and craft beer. Though, of course, neither designation says anything about beer quality.The Beer Nuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14105708522526153528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6521229482537361840.post-57191731393337800062011-01-12T09:50:21.144-05:002011-01-12T09:50:21.144-05:00The prof likes what he likes.
