Back to beer.
I'm digging some French Canadian stuff I picked up.... La Fin Du Monde. One of the better Canuck brews I've had. 9% alc....this ain't Budweiser piss water.
Also in my fridge right now are Radeberger Pils, Czechvar Pils and some Sam Adams Lager.

for example over summer all i drink is ice cold, miller lite, coors lite,or budweiser select I can't drink that swill at any time. Pilsner Urquell is light beer for me.

I'll tip an Urquell myself from time to time.
Ever try a German pilsner called Jever? I can recommend it.

I've seen the tap handle, but I don't recall trying it. Is it in the dry, north German style?

Damn FB we don't got no stinking cold here at Offutt!!! Shyt, since at any one time 40% of my AFSC was at SAC HQ back in the day, half the people I worked with had gone through Offutt. Their stories of winter were enough for me.  I went into my division OIC at Wright Pat, a full bird colonel and told him.... "Sir, I'll go to Howard, Beale, Hickam, MacDill or any tropical special duty station you want to send me, but I can't do Offutt..... A month later I was in the reserves back in Florida.... LOL

I have had Jever right from Germany. It is a decent beer. Much like all the other German Pilsners......

Don't know enough about German styles to be helpful in a comparo, but my favorite wine shop will crack a bottle of beer to let customers taste. The sales guy said it would taste "grassy". It did, if that helps you. (I bought some on the spot.)
Lots of flavor. Around here, it'll run about twice the cost of Urquell, so I only have it once in a while. I haven't had it from the tap.

If you really need some and want to pay the freight I'll be glad to send you some! As this is our local brewery there is at least 3 different yuengling taps in every bar. I'm about lagered out, though I thoroughly enjoy one from time to time. The black and tan is damn good beer IMO and at 12.99 for a case of pounders you can't go wrong!

Thanks for that info i will definately check with my local distributor. I never thought of that  . I will definately keep your offer in mind and if i cant get anybody local to get it i will look into the cost of freight shipping and go from there.

..... Schlitz on tap at Shakey's pizza. Wow, did you knock the cobwebs off long-faded memories (and really date yourself). > grin< I'm thinking Pizza Hut had it for awhile as well, but I've been wrong before, I don't mind telling you.

I've heard much about this beer but have never tried it. What is it's closest comparable. Short of driving to PA or ordering it online I will never see it. We have too many big breweries (The Detroit and Milwaukee breweries) near me to allow anymore. Not to mention all the other smaller and local ones.
Keep your powder dry and stay frosty my friends.

Pete:
Tell us what you like. We'll give you a selection of craft beers to try when you come over. (Bud and Coors are not beer. I would call them fermented grain beverages.)
Personally, I favor Bell's Two-Hearted Ale, an IPA, and Three Floyd's Robert the Bruce Scottish style ale.
Not available everywhere in the US, but you can find Dogfish Head just about anywhere.

Tom/Teal, From time to time, we used to have US Troops working with us and there was always a lot of good natured ribbing over beer. We'd say the stuff they brought from the PX was as weak as knats p1ss and they would give us a hard time over "warm British beer".. I don't drink that much these days, but when I do, I prefer a pint of traditional bitter over the bottled lagers that are now the fashion... In summer, if the weathers warm and I am working outside, a glass of cool dry cider (preferably proper brewed-on-the-farm scrumpy) or perry (pear cider) goes down a treat...

Pete,
I was wondering why Europeans drink their beer warm?

Pete,
I was wondering why Europeans drink their beer warm? Apart from "mulled" beer which you don't see very often these days, its not really warm, but just not super cold...The reason is that if you chill food or drink right down,it simply masks the flavour/taste... Also, historically, pubs wouldn't have had refrigeration ect, and the beer would have been served at the temp of the cellar where the casks were kept.. These days, most most pubs have chilled beer lines, but usually lager is still served older than bitter. That said there is a fad for chilled Guiness these days, so part of it is fashion as much as anything..
