OK, so I know the economy sucks, but you still need to vacation right? Well my company is sending me to Munich Germany for a conference. So what is a girl to do? Here is what I am going to do - invite her husband to go with her and head to the Czech Republic prior to the conference.
Due to the limited funds and the limited time the question now becomes…….
Do we stop by Pilsner (the original home of the most sacred of styles) or the Czechvar brewery? For those of you who don’t know Czechvar (which is called Budvar in all other countries) was originally called Budviser. Sound familiar? Well us patent laws made them (even though they were around for many many years before Budweiser)change their name to Czechvar. However they could not make them change the beer – it is one of the best Pilsners in the world.
So you see our dilemma? Oh wait there is no big dilemma, rather just a choice that has to be made. Either way I will be partaking in some of the world’s best beers.

ReplyDeleteSBG,
ReplyDeleteI have two questions for you:
1. Is that your beer factory in the profile photo?
2. I'm enjoying a Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout right now, but I hate oatmeal. What gives?
Hello PMeans123,
ReplyDelete1. That picture is not of a beer factory. It is the beer cellar from my favorite bar. I wish our basement had all those types and that quantity. What is my favorite bar you ask???? Stay tuned to Snobby Beer Girl and find out.
2. As per the Oatmeal Stout – I can’t say for sure why that is, but I can say for sure that Sam Smith makes one heck of a beer.
Is there actual oatmeal used in the brewing process?
ReplyDeleteYes there is Oatmeal used in the brewing process. It is typically added in the mashing stage. Mashing is the first real step in brewing. You grind up the grains, typically barley and malt, and add boiling water to the grains and let the sugars and what I like to call “yummney goodness” seep into the water which is the foundation of beer. The yummney goodness is really called wort, but the smell is so wonderful that the term wort just doesn’t work for me.
ReplyDeleteFYI – my favorite bar is Ebenezer’s Pub in Lovell Maine. Check them out - http://ebenezerspub.net like us, the owners of the pub have named their pets after beers.
Thanks for reading my blog.
Thanks for the info. I'll have to check them out. Thanks--P
ReplyDeleteIt is fine for the whole family. The owner Chris has his dog Chimey and Cat Boddington running around. It is right on a golf course so kids can play outside and you can either sit outside, watch from the screened in porch or go inside and ignore the children. We are there quite often in the summer.
