bartender's pick....

a lot of beer snobs turn their noses up at lagers, preferring the more robust characteristics of ales (stouts, porters, bitters, etc.). personally i really like well-made lagers -- many of which come from either germany or the czech republic. One of my standbys is warsteiner. you can find both the "premium verum" - a blonde, or "premium dunkel" a darker beer, here in the US for not a lot of money. actually this brand usually costs as much as the vastly inferior bud or michelob.
