It is something that I've been pondering for quite some time already. Problem is that here, and in many more countries, beer is considered pretty much a generic product, not a drink. <BR/><BR/>If you don't believe this, go to a supermarket and look at how people buy wine and beer. Most people will take some time looking around the shelves before picking a bottle of wine, not so with beer.<BR/><BR/>You can put a wide arrange of beers, of many styles, at a good price, but most people will still pick their 20x case of Gambáč or whatever similar thing, just as they do with butter, without looking around. And it doesn't even have to do with price. Regent Ležák at Tesco is 12CZK, wich is about the same price as Staropramen Světlý and a lot cheaper than rubbish like Stella, yet, guess which one sells better (the question of which one <B>is</B> better is answered).<BR/><BR/>Things are slowly changing though, the fact that the supermarket chains have started to stock "alternative" beers, or brands, means that people buy them in enough numbers.<BR/><BR/>PS: for Herold, check <A HREF="http://pivni-filosof.blogspot.com/2008/09/shopping-around-town.html" REL="nofollow">my beer shopping guide</A>, if you don't mind taking the tram or the metro, you can find them all at really good prices.Pivní Filosofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17883511608403454943noreply@blogger.com
