  Well I was thinking Czech, of course, lager rather than ale.
  Its true, I was forgetting that these days there ARE excellent micro-breweries in the US - so I'll take that back!
  Actually they seemed to be just starting when I lived there last, over a decade ago - one in Burlington VT that had some intriguing brews called Magic Hat.
  When I was last in the US a year ago I was even invited for such a treat by one of our esteemed propellerites.

    Magic Hat has become very popular here. I'm not familiar with Czech beer, but I like a lager rather than a hoppy brew such as a strong ale. All three of my kids brew their own beer, and all three tease me about the fact that I cry "bitter" too soon for their tastes. As for Burlington, if that's where you had your Magic Hat, it's very beautiful, and yes, there are some very good micro-breweries here in the US. Cheers, gama!

      I lived in and around Montpelier for several years, after escaping from NYC during a rather bad period for that fascinating city.. Crack madness and yuppie madness which somehow contrived to "co-exist" in trumps on the block where I lived..
      I LOVED VT! Sometimes wondered exactly why I left.. But the need to return to my de-Communised homeland was also strong - and though I tried to satisfy that in small increments the increments grew longer and became permanent. Except that now it is becoming plausible that I may need to move on again. I hope not!!
