#1 As one who has aquired a taste for wheat beer, I would like to endorse a couple of American microbrews: Boulevard's Unfiltered Wheat and Abita Turbo Dog. Not sure how they compare to old-country Weissbier (or is that Weitzenbier?)
Agree, Heineken is overrated. And Rantburg cannot be overrated :)

#2 Three cheers for Budvar! It is a Czech beer made in Budvar in that country. The bottles say "Budweiser," which is how the say, "of Budweiser." The Czech version has nothing to do with the American version, I promise.

#3 I have tried Warsteiner, touted as the most popular brand in Germany, but found it only OK (but just about anything beats Budweiser, I think). Just tried some Staropramen from Prague, but it didn't keep well so I can't give it a fair assessment. :(

#4 The best Schmidts I ever had was in a bar across the Schuylkill River from UPenn one summer day when a ROTC friend and I went to that bar which catered to the UPenn janitors and didn't check ID. The first was great, the next left something to be desired. I'd guess that coming in out of the 95F/95% humidity added to the perception.

Best beer I've ever had: Reichsadlerbrauery in Steppach, Bavaria by Augsburg. The brewery runs a great butchershop also. My wife and I used to walk to the brewery, eat dinner at the gasthaus, and carry back 20 bottles of beer and kgs of wursts on a nice summer night.
