A Begging Letter.....

I have signed up for a dryathlon - giving up alcohol for the whole of January 2013.
If anybody fancies throwing a couple of quid in to help Cancer Research then here is the link:

Thank you very much for any help - I sent the link to a colleague and he sent me a picture and description of a fine sounding beer:

For generations our dedicated, passionate brew masters have ensured that Pilsner Urquell with its distinctive darker shade of gold and snow white head has maintained its uncompromised purity of flavour. Since 1842 we have used only the purest, most natural ingredients to create a beer of golden opulence. From the soft crystal clear waters, to the superior Bohemian and Moravian barley and noble hops from the Saaz region. Even our yeast has a centuries-old pedigree. Considering this, it would of course be inconceivable to simply drink our pure golden pilsner. This brewing icon, coveted by the discerning, is a lager to be slowly savoured and relished. Look catching the light, the clear golden amber colour and creamy head beckons. Inhale whirl gently to release the floral aroma, raise the glass to your mouth and inhale deeply. Relish for a moment the aromas of fresh baguette, earthy hops and honeysuckle.
Savour and now it is time. Dont hurry. Drink deeply. Slightly sweet, somewhat malty, the honey nut flavour sparkles on the tip of your tongue, and slides into your mouth where tart citrus flavours and warm caramel bitterness builds quickly before slipping down your throat full of rich body, thoroughly refreshing. The aftertaste, the sharp, distinct bitterness overlapping with caramelised sweetness lingers and develops on your palate.

I have never hated anyone so much! :lol:

Sounds like something Marks an Spencer might write

If you are going on the wagon, I don't think you would miss a beer that had such a pretentious arsey description

Pilsner Urquell: When I worked for Bass Brewers, Pilsner Urquell was one of the few beers that the brewers were envious of. Then, working in the Czech Republic for 6 years, I got to know more about the passion and love of beer in the country. Politics and religion were not taken as seriously as ensuring that Pilsner Urquell didn't change. Massive national upset when PU was sold to SAB Miller. Getting bottles that were less than a month old and getting fresh draft Pilsner Urquell meant it tasted much better than the imported product you get in the UK. The local competition was was also really brilliant: Krusovice, Velke Popovici Kozel, Staropramen.......and cheap too
The description you posted is b0ll0xs but the beer is still great!
Good luck with the dryathlon
