LOVE this beer AND the Czech Republic... I've been to CZ 3 times now, and I fall in love more and more, every time I go... I live in the US, and have been a home brewer for 6 years... In fact, I just moved across country to Michigan, so that I can study brewing professionally (fyi... the beer scene here is absolutely fantastic!!!)... So, beer is my passion in life... That being said, I have to say, Pilsner Urquell is quite literally the "Golden Standard" for Pilsner beers... I can't even drink some of their German counterparts, because of my experiences of how a Proper Pilsner should taste in Plzeň, CZ... The foam is fantastic!!! Nothing like what I would ever experience here in The States, or any other country I have visited for that matter... It is creamy, like a beer milkshake, and it is very good at preserving the beer while you drink it... There is a reason the Czech's drink substantially more beer, per capita, than any other country in the world... The fact that they have perfected the Pilsner style, AND the fact that they don't tax it at all (It's considered food in The Czech Republic)... Which isn't inherently a bad thing, in my humble opinion... ;-) Na zdraví!!!

Unfortunately, I must say that I have not tried Kout Pivo... But, I will make sure that I head that direction on my next trip, and at least enjoy a Male Pivo of theirs... ;-) I have a family of friends that live in Mariánské Lázně, so my trips have revolved (For the most part) around the western part of Czech... I haven't been as far south as Kout, but now that I know you guys recommend it, I will try my best to sample their fine pilsner... Chodovar is a great brewery that I was able to enjoy while I was there on my first trip too (In 2004)... It is like a 500 year old brewery, that is in a cave!!! The tap room, and all is there as well... A really cool place, if ya'll ever go back to visit... For now though, I have to enjoy The "Arrogant Bastard" that is in my fridge...

The Germans also are trained to pour the beer with a stable "crown" as we call it of foam. We say it takes 7 minutes to pour a Pils, you do it bit by bit and that creates a stable foam on top that will not vanish within minutes.

So could this half-head/half-beer method be applied to all beers? I think if I got half a glass of head in the UK I'd take it right back. We're used to having maybe 1/6th or 1/7th foam at most.
@TheCraftBeerChannel
7 жыл бұрын
Absolutely. I think we should all be drinking 2/3rds in glass with loads of room for plenty of head. It's changes the texture, protects the liquid from oxygen and helps keep it fizzy for longer. No other beer can get that creamy foam, but a well made beer should have an inch of foam. In fact, IPA glasses that have the thin bottoms are designed to retain head.
@sonic-factory
7 жыл бұрын
Interesting, but I can't see many pubs adopting a 2/3rds rule, or can you? The way I've been conditioned to drink beer in the UK, foam implies beer that's either gone off or badly poured.

Chris Green really? How interesting. There are so many misconceptions born by irresponsible marketing. Lasting head is proof of a well made beer - lack of it implies acidity and other potential issues (if it's not meant to be acidic/sour). A lot of craft beer bars have adopted 2/3rds but it will never be widely adopted. That's cool though - it's another way in which beer can diversify!

Well, a good beer in a clean glass when poured right (from tap or package) will last a while. They all fade after around 10-15 mins though. But more foam makes the head last longer. We're gonna investigate getting a great head and not exposing to air when pouring from can or bottle!

And I remember an episode of QI where they discussed the effect of fat on a beer's head, and how it disappears so fast since we almost always have some fat on our lips appereantly. Speaking of clean glasses btw... Where do you guys stand on rinsing with cold water before pouring? I've heard and read from people who do and who do not. Tried both, sometimes I feel it makes a difference, sometimes not at all.

Comments from a Czech dude: Cans and plastic bottles are not a beer culture here, only tap beer is considered real beer experience. (Like cold beef in a tinfoil is not a real barbecue) If no other choice than only well chilled bottles. Most men drink swiftly straight from the glass bottle. If ladies are around I would take a well chilled beer bottle only... take a well chilled glass (put it in a fridge with water inside) splash a bit to create some foam on the bottom and then pour on the glass side with the glass tilted. Drink fast it gets "old" quickly especially non superb lagers with mediocre foam quality.

Well, I work at a bar with 61 beer taps, and trust me, both methods are impossible with certain beers. Some beers have so low head retention and carbonation, that pouring like he does with a massive foam layer, isn't possible. However, some beers like saisons etc., have so high carbonation, that it would take 10-15 mins to pour a beer with no head. And that is no good if you work at a bar with a reasonable amount of customers. But we would never purposefully pour a beer without a head. Visually it looks horrible without a foam layer, plus the foam carries much of the beer aroma, so actually smelling the beer is almost impossible without a foam layer of some kind.

Pilsner Urquell invented the golden lager style of beer when they invented the pilsner, and their beer is as good as any craft beer I've had. I don't care who owns the brewery. To me, "craft" beer means good beer. It takes knowledge, skill, and commitment to make good beer, not just money. No amount of corporate funding is going to produce quality beer if the actual brewers haven't mastered the art of brewing. If you don't think that inventing the most popular style of beer in the world and then maintaining the quality of their output for over one hundred years doesn't require craftsmanship, then I'm not sure what to say.
