50 Beers from Around the World (#42 Pillsner Urgell from Czech Rep.)

Today we feature the very popular brew Pillsner Urgell from the Czech Republic, which is widely available in America. The brew is the original pillsner brand, which has spread all over the world to include the likes of the Turkish beer Efes Pilsen and the Mexican beer Pacifico.

Pillsner Urgell started in Pilsen (in Bohemia), and it is now also brewed in Poland and Russia. The beer has a heavier body, but it has less alcohol than most American beers.

According to the web site czechbeerguide.com, one of the best bars in Prague, the Czech capital, is U Flecku.

Here is les etats unis, if one is in Dallas, Tex., The Libertine Bar, which has Tempura Asparagus for $8, is open tomorrow. We are not sure at what point!

Silly Picture to Fill Space- Beer-Serving Girl

Since today is Friday, a holy day to Muslims, I don't expect there are women serving Petra Beers at bars in Amman, Jordan, today (Petra is a Jordanian brew). And, if they do, they probably would be a bit less revealing. But, of course, this is purely a presumption on my part!

In fact, having been to Istanbul, Turkey, many times, I know there are lots of guys who can chug an Efes Pilsen (the national beer of Turkey) quicker than a visiting college kid from Madison, Wisc.!

I also expect flamboyant American snowboarder Shaun White, aka "The Animal," is having some Canadian Molsons to celebrate his gold medal win at the Vancouver Olympics.
