I seem to remember seeing a beer tanker outside an Ostravar pub in the city once but it could just be a wishful thinking. Is Ostravar also sold unpasteurised from tanks?

They also use smaller car, so they get into smaller streets...

The beer is pumped into metalized nylon (aka mylar) sacks which are themselves placed inside sealed, stainless steel tanks. The tanks are pressurized, which pumps the beer out without the beer ever contacting oxygen or any other gas. The result is that the beer is a lot fresher. If the beer is also unpasteurized, it's a very noticeable difference. Here's an article I wrote about it a few years back: http://www.praguepost.com/P03/2003/Art/0305/featu3.php The tank beer delivery vehicles look like gas trucks. Or fire wagons. Only they're filled with beer... That’s right, Lew. The beer is pumped into metalized nylon (aka mylar) sacks which are themselves placed inside sealed, stainless steel tanks.

Is this beer that is delivered by bulk truck to taverns with bulk serving tanks and transferred by hose and pipe to those tanks? I saw that system in Lisbon; is that what we're talking about here? Excuse my ignorance, it sounds like a good system to me, but I don't know of anyone in the U.S. doing it. “Tank beer”?
