    66 years old, living in Melbourne FL area, originally from NC, lived all over the US, Thailand, lots of time in Eastern Europe. I truly love beer. I posted on this site for many years, somehow couldn't get on one day, and just quit posting, but kept using the site. I finally checked back in under a new name. Pilsner Urquell was the gateway beer for me towards quality. I discovered it around 1990, have since toured the brewery and spent time in Pilsen, highly recommend a few nights in that town, nice change of pace from Prague. I love traditional styles, porters, classic Belgians, love the true British real cask ales, old school IPA's, hefe's, - really into the Bavarian stuff lately, Weihenstephan especially. I drink a lot, roughly 6 beers a day every single day, but balance it with diet and exercise, sort of a fitness guy who will never give up beer.

    Nice intro, and welcome back. I'm glad that you'll be able to enjoy all the benefits of the site. I'd like to travel to Eastern Europe someday, but I'd also like to visit so many other areas of Europe too. Too many places, not enough time (and money).

    Welcome back and thanks for rejoining. Cant go wrong with Urquell from your first in 1990 , now 35 years later still very good. How do you like the east coast of FL, I lived in SW FL for 40 years , what are the best breweries on the east coast of FL?

    Thank you guys. I probably won't worry about my old posts, just start over. About the breweries, we still have a lot of work to go here. Intracoastal Brewing in Melbourne is excellent. This isn't like some great areas in the US where there's a great brewery in every neighborhood.

    Mods don't have that level of account/site access. Only I do.
    Completely up to you, but I can recover/merge accounts. Drop me a DM if you want to, otherwise welcome back!
