50 Women Travelers – Eat Your Heart Out ‘Eat, Pray Love’

Women travelers, solo female traveling and women in the travel industry have gotten a boost thanks to Elizabeth Gilberts Eat, Pray, Love. While the reviews are mixed on both the book and the movie (I haven't seen/read either), let us not forget those women travelers who have been out traveling for years or those fresh and new to the world of traveling without the promise of a book deal at the end....

Things To Do in Japan in December

Places: Odaiba Island, Tokyo - They have a rainbow bridge leading to it, it therefore has to be a magical place. Meiji Jingu Shinto Shrine - Temples and Shrines and ancient spirits - OH MY! Jigokudani Yaenkoen - A monkey park, seriously are you even surprised I have this one on here. Plus the monkeys have their own hot springs! Golden Temple of Kyoto (Kinkaku-ji) this is one of t...

Chicha Morada – Peruvian Purple Corn

Low and behold my astonishment when walking down the beverage isle of a grocery store in Lima, Peru when I found a soft drink like bottle featuring a big cartoonish picture of purple corn on it. I laughed and thought giddily to myself, "Silly humans, corn isn't purple and even if it was who would drink...corn?!?" Well I would, eventually, after being shown that there is purple corn, I mean ...

Lost Days of Rio

It's raining again, damn! It hasn't stopped raining for days. Normally this wouldn't bother me because I like the rain, especially on a warm day where even the most mature individual is tempted to jump into a puddle. Today, today is my last day in Rio de Janeiro and I'd like to say my upset stomach was over my uneasiness of leaving a place I've called home for four months or that it's because ...

The Travel Channel: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly of TV Travel

The Travel Channel is many things, but first and foremost it is a source of entertainment, not the know-it-all authority on travel. While it exposes the idea of travel and the world to many who would otherwise be content to sit in their La-Z-Boy recliner it will only give you the inspiration to get there, not the resources to explore. Alas, that will be reserved for the likes of Lonely Planet and ...

New Brew Tuesday: Pilsner Urquell

Posted By: Cornelius Aesop on 2010/06/29 in Drinking, New Brew Tuesday - Comments: View Comments

Type: Beer – Pilsner
Name: Pilsner Urquell
Price: $1.59
Made: Czech Republic
Alc/Vol: 4.4%

After drinking Staropramen I was a little hesitant about drinking another beer from the Czech Republic, but then again this is ‘The’ pilsner beer, litterally. Any beer that claims pils, pilsner or pilsener however you want to fling it stem from this beer. Being the very first, and still going strong today as a popular style of beer with various versions of you know that they had to do something right.

This beer has that same almost skunky smell, it is strong and where other beers only have the smell this beer also has the strong flavor. Although the strong flavor blends away the more I drink it, and gives away to a nice dry finish.This beer is light and smooth to drink one that could be enjoyed all night, even though the bite of the first sip and scent could be enough to deter even a serious drinker. Though I am a proud drunken monkey who must battle through these difficult beers to ensure you get to try the best out there, and this surely is one of them.

On top of the delicious beer, they also happen to have a Pilsner Urquell Game (NSFW – that is if you can win – because I surely couldn’t get that far) You have to be doing something right if they make a game for you. If you start typing out Pilsner Urquell in Google, this is the first suggestion so it isn’t some tucked away game made by some random fan, no people are serious about this one.

I give this beer 4 1/2 out of 5 bananas, its awesomeness and precedence deserves at least that much. However, I warn you that it is a pils through and through which may turn you away at first but before the bottle is gone I’m sure you’ll become a fan too.
