Chotebor Premium (bottle)
Chotebor, Czech Republic
5.0% ABV
Another microbrewed lager from right here in the Czech Republic. Chotebor is another one of the widely talked-about Czech microbreweries, and this one did not disappoint. A beautifully balanced Czech lager.
Note: I picked this up at Galerie Piva, near the Charles Bridge. Very much worth your time for any vacationing beer geeks.
My numerical rating: 7.0/10

A simple review for a simple beer. We passed this brewery on the bus while on the way to Cesky Krumlov, but stopping wasn't on the agenda for the day. A decent lager, worth a shot, but nothing amazing.

Postrizinske Doktorova 8 (bottle)
Nymburk, Czech Republic
3.8% ABV
The cheapest bottle of beer I've yet found in the Czech Republic. A light lager that costs 4.90 Czech Crowns for half a liter, which works out to something like twenty cents American for the bottle. Is it better than similar light lagers in the States? Not so much, but for twenty cents who can really complain?

Kocour Lezak (bottle)
Varnsdorf, Czech Republic
4.6% ABV
"Kocour" is Czech for "Tomcat" and "Lezak" is Czech for "Lager," so translated this is Tomcat Lager. Kocour is a microbrew that's only been around since 2008, but they're bringing a Stone or Brewdog-like badassery to the Czech beer scene. This lager is delicious, obviously made in small batches, with a crisp light flavor and a healthy wallop of citrusy hops that really show what a true Czech malypivovar (microbrewery) is capable of.
I was really excited when I reviewed this beer, as I had just visited the Kocour website, and they seem to have the same ballsy, take no prisoners attitude of some of the great American microbreweries, like Stone or Dogfish Head. I have one more Kocour brew here in the dorm, and I'm still on the lookout for their weizen, so look forward to that.

Olivetinsky Novic (bottle)
Broumov, Czech Republic
3.5% ABV
I'm trying to bang through reviews so that I get everything done that I wanted to get done here, so I did an afternoon review of Olivetinsky Novic, which was a random beer purchase I made at the local Tesco. It turned out to be a pretty crappy light lager, but with enough citrusy lemon and a thick enough head that I didn't really feel like slamming it too hard on the rating.
My numerical rating: 4.0/10 (probably more than it deserves)

Still no Pilsner Urquell brewery visit post. I've been feeling under the weather today, so I just don't feel like I have the energy to write it up. Everyone here seems to be getting sick. Dammit.
Anyway, I took a few minutes to record a review of Staropramen Lezak (i.e. Staropramen Lager) yesterday, so you can see it now and tell me what you think.
