Krusovice Dark
Some of the more observant readers may have noticed that my age has risen from 29 to 30. To mark this occasion, my wonderful wife decided to take me to the exotic/cold and expensive town of Stockholm in Sweden. The day was as usual to be a boozy affair and much to my delight SWMBO wanted to grab a coffee at around 10.30 am. I took full advantage of this situation to have my first beer of the day! Krusovice Dark (3.8% abv) is a Czech dark lager which probably falls into the category of Schwarzbier. The beer is spritzly carbonated and has a long sour aftertaste which is pretty refreshing. I can recall the first time I had this particular beer in Prague at a little beer garden down by the river - and whilst drinking this in the rain on my bday in Gamla Stan, Stockholm I was solely reminded that good beer is rare find, and that this is defiantly a good beer! A good way to kick off my 30's!

Have tried the regular Krusovice over here and can imagine the dark has the extra edge that this doesn't. What's with all the low ABV beers lately!? Hope you haven't started goin' soft now that you've hit the 30s!

No, the low abv% beers are just a coincidence! But it seems that Australia is the only place that considers 5% abv to be normal - everywhere else (Belgium excluded!) it is considered strong.
I liked this one too. There are several different kinds of Krusovice available here, but the labels look almost exactly alike . . .
I have become a big fan of this blog since most of the examples are ones I have never seen here in the US. Contrary to popular European belief, we do have good beers here even if a majority of people do not drink them.
