Presidente is not that great

9/11/2010 2:51:58 AM

its arguably better than pilsner urquell

and if you think they are not that great, consider that they have an aromatic head like a good bag of pot... i mean IMHO they are pretty good. also they are how pilsners are supposed to taste. tell me a better tasting pilsner.

Prima Pils from Victory Brewing

Czechvar (in the US - Budvar in the CZ)

umm...

Warsteiner makes a decent pils
so does Brooklyn Brewery

^ if you like the smell/taste of hops I recommend you switch to a heady IPA like Dogfish Head 60 Minute or Hoppyum from Foothills if you wanna do the local beer

I've just got a problem with Presidente because I overpaid for deuces of it at bodegas in NYC that didn't store their beer properly

it didn't take long for me to just switch to Ballantine Ale

9/11/2010 2:59:32 AM

well sure i drank some hoppy-yum at sadlacks tonight

but its not a 'true pilsner'...

when i think of pilsner i think of pilsner urquell

and a fresh bubbly taste plus a potty head, not excessive hopps

maybe its just skunky beer taste? delicious, skunky beer

9/11/2010 3:01:32 AM

Hoppyum isn't a pilsner at all

its an India Pale Ale

pils is a form of lager, not an ale at all

9/11/2010 3:02:39 AM

^^^ohh... yeah.. overpaying for beer will make you bitter.

may have to try ballantyne.. how much for a siz pack? this presidente was 8 at the HT, which is probably more than what its worth, but probably on par for prices in raleigh

[Edited on September 11, 2010 at 3:05 AM. Reason : i want to talk about pilsner. i love hoppy IPA but dammit, pilsner, dammit]

9/11/2010 3:04:25 AM

more pils for you to try

Staropramen (Czech)
Radeberger (German)

^I'd get Ballantine for like $1.25 to $2 per deuce at bodegas around Brooklyn

the point here being that Presidente (like Ballantine) is available in a 40 oz bottle
because of this it loses a little cred in my mind

yeeeahh... i hear ya, but better than bud or coors light (yet to see regular coors in a 40, but if i did i'd be on it)

anyway, have you had lone rider peacemaker? that shit smells just like pot... (not trying to dwell on the pot thing, but damn, makes a good beer) I've had it fresh at the brewery, amazing stuff. They made me get off the railing outside

9/11/2010 3:12:41 AM

I really do enjoy a good pils though
but I don't think of it as beer so much as a reasonable alternative to soda/water

I traveled around central and eastern Europe a bit and would often have a small glass of pils with my breakfast

^ not familiar with that beer - where is it from, etc?

the best beer warm the next day i've ever had was a pils (pilsner urquel)... tastes just like it does cold. plus its only like 4%... is that pretty standard for pilsners? perty mild, definitely like drinking soda

[Edited on September 11, 2010 at 3:17 AM. Reason : ^ Lone Rider brewing co. near RDU]

9/11/2010 3:15:24 AM

yeah like 4-6% is generally the range for a pils

9/11/2010 11:37:12 AM

Steamwhistle is the best pilsner I have ever had.
