Hey, I want to apologise that I did not really kick (well, I tried, but there was a little painful misunderstanding between my ankle and the carpet

) or hang out, but I rather went to see the Chicago city because first I really wanted to and also I cannot really watch footbag or talk about it when I am injured... sorry

Sorry I forgot to mention american football

And with the beer, well I guess pretty much everyone who tried czech beer would agree on that...

So many gross over-generalizations. I have never seen Nascar in my life, and rarely ever saw a televised sports game besides Basketball or a Superbowl. Football outside US is far superior imo. Football in the states is a bit harsh and brutish for my taste.

Regarding beer: I have had Czech beer, though not there. I have also had beer in Spain, Germany, France and the Netherlands. One word: dissapointed. Although a majority of the generic, ubiquitous swill that passes for "American beer" does little to improve my countries' brewing image, having an open mid when you next visit may expose you to the smaller independent breweries that have taken our country to new heights. One way of describing it might be if you were to imagine if 50% of French wine was still made by smaller regions (some of the best in the world) but the other 50% was harvest from a human-made marsh somewhere in the ocean, by some emotionally removed corporation.

America-bashing is so 2008.

This is an outrage.

You obviously did not get the point and neither took part in the previous live conversation, but whatever...

seriously, next time you're around, honza, we'll do our part to make sure you get some of the good stuff.

I actually thought the football adage was funny.

What MC said:

The US footbag community owes you a decent beer experience!

Haha...

It's always interesting to see how people interpret forum posts. I do believe the American bashing was in jest and not meant to be taken seriously.

Anyways...

It was very nice to meet you Honza, if only for a brief period.

...come to Tacoma, Washington and try The Harmon Pub and Brewery...we're some of the best beer in the country...says the American Beer Festival. A few Gold Medals and Some high standings in international competitions make it worth while...

plus you can shred with me...

Just because beer in Czech is 25 cents a pint does not make it good.

Paying 20 dollars for 1 beer also does not make it good.
