We went today to the Sam;'s club. They were selling the big boxes full of European beer - among them they had four types of European beer - one was Italian, one was Pilzner, one was PIWO TYSKIE and the last one - I think Belgian but I do not remember exactly.
24 bottles cost over 27 dollars, a bit expensive but some people were taking it!

Last year in Biskupin............we paid 25 cents a bottle for Tyskie -
The year before - in Tijuana Mexico - a quarter for a bottle of CORONA
I guess it depends where you are in the world and the product......right now, 20 miles from our house - gas is almost 50 cents cheaper and one hour away almost $1.25 cheaper per gallon................POLITICS!
DID YOU CHECK THE ALCOHOL CONTENT TO SEE IF THE SAME JAGA..................IN CANADA, YOU HAVE VARIOUS ALCOHOL CONTENTS DEPENDING ON THE PROVINCE YOUR PURCHASING IN.
GOD BLESS

jaga,
Pilsner Urquell has been in Alaska for a few years now and Costco carries it as well as the conventional liquor stores. While it is good beer, it is not my favorite Czech beer. I find Gambrinus and Velkopopovicky Kozel excellent and without the sharp hoppy (bitter) taste that Urquell has. I enjoy bringing back some cans of Czech Budweiser to let my American friends know that Budweiser is a respectable name in the the Czech Republic, and those fellows have done a great job of fighting the American producer of horse p***.
Lily, some differences in lables is due to different labeling laws, as well as different alcohol content laws. In America it is often 3.2% or 6% beer, both of which I take to be nominal numbers. Then many Americans going to Europe for the first time will confuse the "degree" of the beer with the "alcohol" of the beer, both of which may be expressed with a "%" sign. So if you see a 10%, 12% or 14 %, then look closely. It is likely "degree" of lightness/heaviness of the beer, and not alcohol.

We have a store here called Beers of the World. I should go check to see if there are any Polish beers. I use to go get my Spaten (German beer but now my local grocery store carries it) there.

We drank lots of Tyskie in Mikołajówek last summer: seemed to be the popular beer in that region, along with Żubr. I have a Costco card, but not a Sam's...  |

WE have a Sam's Club and a BJ's but no Costco yet. I shop at Cosco when in Vegas and like it better than the other two mentioned.
