I guess you would know, Euro...

Anyway. Another interesting point (miss-spelt pint?). I also heard that the clear beers, came originaly from Bohemia because of the fasion for Bohemian crytal drinking vessels. Prior to that beer (or ale!) had been served in Pewter, pot, leather, wood and all sorts of things you couldn't see through. When the crystal tankard came out it was decided that the beer needed to be clear as well, to show off the glass. The first people to achieve this with any sucess were the brewers in Pilsen. So, originaly, Pilsner was a fasion acessory!

Probably complete cobblers but just goes to show what amazing stuff beer is. I could study it all night:-)
