I used to think that all the great beer regions began with a B - Britain, 
Belgium, Bohemia and Bavaria. Unfortunately, the US micros have ruined that 
one...

Philippe that Urquell is one of my very favourites. I have only seen it 
available in bottles here.
Both Czechs and Belgians worthy of our gratitude.
Cheers

The most 'pils' like is Cristal ATM. All the others have been  
flattened out and sweetened.
The tap itself is also important, the pressure should be right and  
the 'pipes' clean. In ideal circumstances, a Stella can be quite  
good. But to call it premium is far fetched.
I only now one premium pils, and that's Urquell.
