Budvar Reserve: Stateside

I'd like to be able to try that one. I wish I could even find czechvar in cans around here.

 

I'll be there in 2 weeks and have a tour scheduled with Mr. Rail. Can't wait!!!

 

Nice.
That podcast episode just downloaded on my feed yesterday.
Can't wait to give it a listen on my drive home today.

 

Trying to head that way this summer!

 

Let’s see a Czechvar Reseve from InBev.

 

Why?

 

I love that pils , and would love to try the Reservre. If The Budvar one cant be sold here (US) ,Then produce it under the Czechvar label.

 

But, InBev doesn't have anything to do with Czechvar -- maybe they can get their Bürgerbräu brewery to make a Samson reserve?

Or put a Czechvar Reserve label on the bottle and import it.

 

Count me in. Normal Budvar is tasty, but it's almost always old and the green glass amplifies that problem. These are in brown glass and if I were to see it, I'd have some basic idea of how old it is.

 

That's what I was thinking. Is this a traditional style for the region? A sort of Czech bock beer? Or is it a novel imperial pils recipe?

 

Czech beer is organized by color and original gravity. I imagine this beer falls into this category:

speciál – a "special" beer, brewed above 13°

 

At 7.5% what are they thinking? low volume beer

 

FWIW -- drinking a Czechvar/Budvar Original Lager this afternoon -- "Owned By The Czech Republic" prominently displayed on the can. No mention of AB or InBev.

 

Czechvar is an exception among imports here, I’m not sure how or why but they’re never old. Disappears from both stores I go to often then restocked, almost always newer bottles. Not sure whose doing something right but they are.

 

Oh, yeah? Must be a different distributor or better clientele - I seldom see it and lately never see it with what I consider a good enough date to purchase. (Needless to say, never sealed in a case, either, so usually exposed to florescent light, too.) Someone mentioned cans, and sure enough, United States Beverage (can't access their website today) brings 'em in, but I've never seen them.


Those'd be a automatic case purchase for me (w/good date, of course).

 

Come to Wineworks in Marlton @jesskidden far from my favorite store but every time I’ve check it’s never that old, for an import…especially compared to some. Currently out of stock, I actually checked last week.

 

I would snag some up without a second thought if it ever came this way.
Probably more than once.
