Palm is good, you can find it anywhere, but there Winter Special Edition they have every year is great. The real Heineken from Holland is much better than what they import to the states, and the brewery is in Amsterdam. But the beers from Poland and the Czech Republic remain my favorites, light but full of flavor. Plus, at the equivalent of $.50 for a half liter. . . . . Jeff >
