Take for example the Primator brewery in Nachod, Czech Republic - they make excellent beers and as they are owned by the town a portion of their profits are channeled into projects to improve life for everyone in the city.

It's just that while drinking local is not only a beautiful thing, but something I really take seriously as well, I think that we as beer drinkers always want to try the unknown. The unfortunate part is that many of us are not as lucky as some to have the resources to travel the world and try some of these beers locally, so we have to do the next best thing and wait until they come to us.

Also, one of those retailers did sample St. Louis' own Schlafly Oktoberfest this week and last.
