Why does it have to be called Pilsner Urquell? and not Rusky lager or something like that? And who assures then that, once its market presence is strong enough, SAB-Miller will reduce the quality of the beer in order to cut costs? Take me as a cynic, but I've seen that before with other products. Agree, but the question is, from the Russian beer fans point of view.

I'd like to hear what other Russian beers are using some of the world's most expensive hops and Czech malt. Jesus, it doesn't sound like Russian beer fans are getting ripped off. It sounds like they're getting a Christmas present.

I also heard the rumour that Russian Pilsner Urquell is better than the Czech. Apparently this is because, apart from being able to chemically emulate the pilsner water, in Russia they use brewing methods similar to those employed in Pilsen 20 years ago. Nice article.
