BEER, CERVEZA, BIÈRE, BIER, SUDS, PIVO!

Beer has been a part of my life from my earliest memories. There was Sunday dinner: goulash, braised red cabbage, spatzle and beer! I was two or three and enjoying the taste of beer (I think I also took an early nap!) Both of my grandfathers had worked in breweries. Dedek Vyhnanek from the Czech Republic, in his town of Kutna Hora near Prague, had his hands in the pilsner. Grandfather Rauscher from Neustadt an der Aisch, Germany, picked and sorted hops in the fields of Bohemia as a young boy. I was fortunate to grow up with both of these experienced men. I remember one of their later attempts at brewing and the Pop! Pop! Pop! in the middle of the night. I now know someone put a little extra sugar in the bottles prior to capping.

My mother Julia, has many stories of her father's brewing. My father Rudolph, and his father gave up and bought it at the store. My brother and I took my father's approach, although my brother Rudy and his friend Kippy Miller made a couple of respectable batches of suds (at least that's what the justice of the peace in my hometown told me). I'm happy to enjoy the wonderful skills of others and am particularly still fond of Pilsner Urquell from Pilsen in the Czech Republic yet the real German Lowenbrau is my favorite! Too bad the AB InBev. refuses to sell it in the USA?
