A. Le coq premium also nothing special, Latvian Bauskas, a small traditional brewery, still made in Bauska by an ancient master brewer. And it tastes halfway between a light beer and a dark beer. it's interesting.Brengulu beer has a nice honey taste .But in conslution i could say that Lithuanian beer is the best, especially svyturys ;]Mikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9050528436539921312.post-60386315642477289422010-05-20T09:34:37.656-05:002010-05-20T09:34:37.656-05:00The Švyturys wheat beer sounds good, but I haven’t...The Švyturys wheat beer sounds good, but I haven’t seen it for sale here in Texas. I’ll keep my eyes open. While in the Baltics, did you try anything from Latvia or Estonia?

There are a lot of good American beers, but to dismiss foreign beers is a bit like saying one prefers the joints in New York’s Little Italy to the trattorie dotting the Tuscan countryside, or the pan-Asian lowest-common-denominator restaurants in San Francisco’s Chinatown to those in Hong Kong or Taiwan. Such people certainly exist, but that kind of preference makes little sense to me. Let them have their Coors and Miller and Budweiser; it just leaves more Hoegaarden and Spaten and Smithwick’s for me! :)Jason Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05809154870762268253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9050528436539921312.post-6634314985251416982010-04-19T23:03:49.126-05:002010-04-19T23:03:49.126-05:00I once knew a guy who claimed to be a beer connois...I once knew a guy who claimed to be a beer connoisseur, but who tended to look down his nose at foreign beers. He'd write "reviews" that read like this:<br /><br />"This beer came from Denmark. It should have stayed there."David Bratmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08090662884600828582noreply@blogger.com
