i was in budapest in the spring and had zloty bazant, bitburger, staropramen and a lot of other very good
beers on tap and in the bottle or can for that matter. i go to budapest and slovakia to drink the beers as ofen as possable
(although my wife thinks i like to sight see). shes there too right with me hoisting a pint of her favorite draught.
i think everyone should be able to enjoy a zloty b. brewed in the traditional way with authentic ingredients and fermented with the mother yeast
the mother yeast strain should be made available in new jersey, USA.i say hurrrrrraaaaa for Heineken, chapion of great taste.
best wishes, jack bentley
