My buddy lives in České Budějovice and will be coming for a few months this sunday, he said he has a lot of room in his suitcase and asked if I wanted some beer brought home. Any advice on what I should have him grab me?

Lots of good Czech beers but one of my favorites is Staropramen. It only has a average rating but I don't pay much attention to that. It everyones individual taste.
This is the place you want: http://www.pivovarkout.cz/ It's somewhat of a drive from České Budějovice, but also not complicated to get to (just stay on Highway 22 toward the German border).
