Gold Ask - 318.50. - Although I extremely rarely drink these days, I like Kronenburg, a beer brewed in the Alsace Lorraine region of France. Failing that a good Mexican beer, such as Coronoa will do. Most of the good beers worldwide owe their existence to a pressure fermentation process developed in the German region of Czechoslovakia, in the town of Pilsen, in the 19th century. Prior to that, the top-fermented beers of the day were subject to very uneven quality and uncertain taste. After that, German brewmastering spread wherever German immigrants went and South America ended up with many good beers. Ironically, Kingston notwithstanding, Canada with its beer industry, has no beer which can trace its origin to this ancestry, and indeed, the taste of its beers is decidely inferior, even given the higher alcohol content.
Often in times gone by I used to wake up with a hangover, sadder, Budweiser.
Budweiser is a Czech beer too, (different company than the US name), as well as being an American, watered-down product. If you ever taste the European Bud you will never be satisfied with the domestic product.
