In the city of Brno, we can find a lot of small shops that are dedicated to selling beer. In these shops you won’t find the beer that you normally see in the supermarkets, you will see Czech Beers from small companies and also you will see foreign beer. Because tasting so many beers would cost a lot for just 1 person, the best way to do it is to get a group of 4/5 people, buy 15-20 different beers, and then each person only drinks a small glass of each beer. So a group with Antonin Prost, Carlos Antunes, James Cockbill and Enrique Guevara decided to make a beer tasting. They went to a small shop call Pivoteka U Modreho LVA in Vesela Street and they bought 20 beers, each one chose 5 beers to taste. 
The beers chosen were 1.Lobkowicz without alcohol 2.Hradebni 10% 3.Gingers Beer 4.Crakonos 11% 5.Cherry Beer 6.Otakar 11% 7.Vevoda 8.Rychtar Premium 9.Permon Psenicne 10.Klaster Premium 11.Hobgoblin 12.Zavis 12% 13.Benediktin 16% 14.Bernard Jantarovy 12% 15.Primator Polotmavy 16.Porter Pardubicky 18% 17.Barbar 18.Pauwel Kwak 19.Tripel Karmeliet 20.Westmall Trappist
While they tasted the beers, they were giving a rate from 0 to 10 to each beer. In the end, the winner was the Tripel Karmeliet.The word used to describe was AMAZING!!!
There were two very important conclusions from this beer tasting.The best beers are from Belgium, in the Top 5 there are 4 Belgium beers and only one Czech, and beer without alcohol it is not beer, is just a strange juice.
Top 5
Tripel Karmeliet
Rate 9.5
Brewed by Brouwerij Bosteels
Style: Abbey Tripel
Buggenhout, Belgium
Serve in Trappist glass, Tulip
COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION: First brewed 1996; claimed to be based on a recipe from 1679 which used wheat, oat and barley. Tripel Karmeliet is a very refined and complex golden-to-bronze brew with a fantastic creamy head. These characteristics derive not only from the grains used but also from restrained hopping with Styrians and the fruity nature (banana and vanilla) of the house yeast. Aroma has hints of vanilla mixed with citrus aromas. Tripel Karmeliet has not only the lightness and freshness of wheat, but also the creaminess of oats together with a spicy lemony almost quinine dryness.
Westmall Trappist
Rate 9
Brewed by Brouwerij der Trappisten van Westmalle
Style: Abbey Tripel
Malle, Belgium
Serve in Trappist glass, Tulip
COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION: A strong, dry and spicy trappist ale. The product of a secondary fermentation lasting 5 weeks. This is a complex ale with a fruity aroma and a nice nuanced hop scent. It is soft and creamy in the mouth, with a bitter touch carried by the fruity aroma. An exceptional ale, with a great deal of finesse and elegance, and with a splendid long after taste.
