Back to the important subject of beer,
I recently read an article about the ongoing legal battles between Anheuser-Busch and the small Czech brewery, Budějovický Budvar. The Czech brewery claims to own the original copyright on the Budweiser name, and have actually won the right to market their pilsner as Budweiser in several European countries.
Their beer is marketed as Czechvar in the U.S. It's carried by Total Wine in Seattle, so I picked up a few bottles. The pilsner, honestly, isn't a whole lot better than regular Budweiser. The dark lager is considerably better, but probably not something I would go out of my way to buy again.
As far as IPAs are concerned, I do like them. There's a local brewery near my house (their marketing director lives right up the street from me) called 7 Seas Brewing that I try to support. Their double IPA is pretty yummy but two of them will knock you on your ass. My go-to beer is Mac & Jack's African Amber. It's a Seattle beer that is only available on tap, but there's a few local convenience stores where I can fill a growler. For just a light, refreshing lager, the new Guinness Blonde American Lager is pretty tasty. Reminds me a bit of Yuengling, which I have not been able to find on the West Coast.
