So I went alone through parts of Prague yesterday in search of beer. I have been here almost 2 weeks, and have drunk many types of pilsners. I went out to find some I hadn't had, as well as ones for me to bring back to the US. On Tuesday night I found a Guide to Beer in Prague book. (I bought a similar book in England about Belgian beers.)
Anyway, I now had a guide to take me to the best beer around. Guess what, more pilsners. I can't say I have ever been a huge fan of pilsner beer, but now I have a better appreciation for the variety of them. And it didn't stop me from buying 4 more bottles to bring back.
We also ended up eating at a brewery in Prague. They had one called Oldgott, and another called X33. The X33 was touted as the strongest beer in the world based on initial sugars. It was, well, sweet and tart. Much like a Flemish sour without the sour fruit flavor.
But at least I got a few new beers to me. While I may not fully understand the tradition of only what I'd consider to be "lite" beers, I can at least say I have experienced them now.
