We take a step backward in this episode to look a the origin of the species: Pilsner Urquell. Hear Jim and I butcher Czech names all through the episode.
News
VEGITARIAN ALERT - Guiness is not a vegitarian beer. Or so says the Vegitarian Society that recently released a list of food that was not considered vegitarian safe.
Pislner Urquell
- Pilsner Urquell, the first Pilsner beer, sitting at around 4.40% ABV. Comes in a green bottle with a nice foil label. Have been using the same reciepe since 1842, developed by Josef Groll. Yes, this is the night we butcher Czech names.
- The name "Urquell" even means "Original Source"
- Pretty straight foward ingredient list.
- Taste - Very carbonated, and a little more bitter than you may be used to if you are drinking light beers.
- This is a nationally distributed beer, so you should be able to get it anywhere.
- Other imports that are simlar to this one include Spaten Pilsner from Germany and Budvar/Czechvar from the Czech Republic.
Our next show
- Up the ladder a rung to micro brews - Victory Prima Pils.
- If you can't get Victory, you may also want to look for Goose Island Pislner, Sierra Nevada Summerfest, or Brooklyn Pilsner. If you can't find one of those, try your local microbrew and see if they have a pilsner.
