It's strange how everyone praises Czech beers from commercial breweries bought outside the Czech Republic. Here in the Czech Republic, I would not buy Staropramen a second time. We have much better beers brewed in craft breweries.
I think that is often the case with any country, but you tend not to see the local craft beers commercially available in a local shop overseas. Had there been different Czech beers I would have got them, but there wasn't, we can only buy what is in front of us. When I was in the Czech Republic I did try some that I had never heard of and were recommended to me. Thanks for stopping by 🍻
It is true that the selection of foreign beers in local shops (anywhere in the world) is very limited. Then (perhaps out of curiosity) you buy what you see :-)
