Gambrinus Svetly (#14)

Believe it or not but this is a fourth review this month. They weren't exactly weekly. Although on average they sure were. I hope I can make this a standard for the upcoming months.

So let's get to it. Today we have a Czech beer called Gambrinus which means that there are only two more beer left in the First Beer Trip batch.


Oh, and I am going forward with video review. So just hit play.

Miller Genuine Draft (#13)

This time I come back a bit faster with some new stuff. First, I got a beer out of the Beer Trip batch. Second, I got a video review. Third, I somehow forgot to make a picture... Last time I promise.

So we will try today an American one called Miller Genuine Draft. A cold filtered beer which gives a draft beer (or tap beer if you will) in a bottle.
