Speaking of Sam Adams, the difference between its Boston Ale and its Boston Lager is the difference between beers I like and beers I don't like.

I think you're suggesting that you like the Boston Ale and not the Boston Lager?

If so, I'm with you.  I like the Boston Ale WAY better than the brewery's flagship beer, the Boston Lager.

I like lots of lagers.  Sam Adams just isn't one of them.

All pilsners are lagers and I love a good Czech or German pilz.  Vienna-style lagers are delicious too, when executed well.  Marzens (aka Oktoberfestbiers) are lagers, plenty of tasty examples of those.  Bocks are lagers, I dig them too.

I used to prefer the SA Ale, but I don't see it around any more.  The lager is fine with me.  Back in the day, it was the first widely available decent US beer.

I hear Budwar is very good but have never had it.

Budvar (original Budweiser) is a standard Czech pilsner.  It's tasty.

Like pretty much all beer, it's better in its own region. Shipping beer around the globe tends to degrade its quality.  So the Budvar I had in the Czech Republic, was better than what I've had here in the US.  But it's still decent, here.  It has far more flavor, of course, than the American Budweiser.

That's certainly the way it was marketed!

But of course personal taste matters most. As you well know, there are some very tasty wines that are inexpensive.  And there are some expensive wines that aren't all that tasty.  Beer's no different.

And now, after all this beer talk, I'm thirsty for a Czech Pilz.  Good thing I have the best one on the planet, in my beer fridge, right now.

I'm having a glass of Kirkland Cabernet box wine right now.

It's amazing.  I'm fixing beef stew with leftover grilled ribeyes.
