Also known by its German name Budweis at the time Southern Bohemia was under German rule/occupation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C4%8Cesk%C3%A9_Bud%C4%9Bjovice But no matter, the fine ales of Yorkshire, Sam Smiths, John Smiths, Tetley's, Theakstons, Timothy Taylor still sweep the board when it comes to sheer beer drinking pleasure - not to mention the independent and micro breweries like the ones listed here: http://www.line-studio.co.uk/yorkshire-ale/46-reasons.htm I've tried at least 90% of what the independents and micros offer - all excellent stuff - my current favourite is Copper Dragon, followed closely by Sam Smith's (one of the oldest and consistently excellent Yorkshire Breweries, and one of the few still brewing a Mild Ale) Samuel Smith's beers are listed here, along with their US importer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Smith_Brewery This is Copper Dragon - the fastest growing brewery in the UK, based in the beautiful market town of Skipton. http://www.copperdragon.uk.com/ A hearty cheers to all ale drinkers Douglas Jerry Lehrer wrote: > Douglas, > > Just remember that the well known cat-piss called Budweiser is a > Belgian beer :-) .
