Actually, the beer is something to write home about. Unfortunately, due to the American Budweiser wanting to protect their name, there has been a court order prohibiting the Czech brewer from releasing thier product in the United States.

The good news is they have changed the name of the beer to get around this obstacle. If you have a large beer store nearby, you might try looking for a beer called "Czechvar."

For those who like language trivia, the Czech word for beer is "pivo". Here is the link for the company which produces the original. There are some nice links (the the corporate area) to how they make the beer, and some details of the court case which kept them out of the States: Czechvar

That's also the Serbo-Croatian word (one of the essentials we learned in advance of our trip to Zagreb a few years back!)

My only purpose was to point out that this is another excellent article by Thomas Sowell in which he gives us a history lesson to point out that there have been aggrieved groups throughout the ages. Once one starts concentrating on ethnic background and nationalism, as opposed to common interests, trouble ensues. That applies in a number of ways to the problems in the EU as well as in the ME. The cry for reparations for slave decendents in this country is another good example.

To miss that point and to transfer the discussion to beer is a waste of my time if not yours.
