Cherny Bock in the East Village

Bohemian Cherny Bock
by Bohemian Brewery

So cherny means “black” in Czech. I think that’s exactly what I say in the video. It’s black. It looks like it’s going to be thick, but it’s not. You usually think of bocks as heavier beers, but this one is refreshingly thinner and easier to drink. Throw out your bock preconceptions, people. It’s a session Bock.

I said that I was going to get a Vespa in the video and in the blog post last week. I seriously don’t know how I am going to afford a Vespa, but I’m going to buy one, mark my words. I’m going to get two matching helmets so the girl I’m taking to the sexy West Village brunch spot can look cute (and be safe). Sign up in the comments section to be the girl in that fantasy. Be prepared to pay for gas. ;-)

Utah has some ridiculous laws about shipping beer. The three-tiered system in place probably helped at some point, but the laws put in place to protect the distributors might be hindering interstate commerce as far as beer goes. I always think the best thing to make sure you have control over something is to legalize it and tax it. You might be able to solve the debt problem by legalizing marijuana if you taxed it enough. I know one former president who would get behind that bill.

Have you had a Bohemian Cherny Bock? Let us know how you like it in the comments section! Please make sure to indicate whether you are just commenting on the beer or would like a Vespa ride, or both.

Bohemian Czech Pilsener in the East Village NYC.

Maaamaaaa… just tasted beer… Czech Pilsner in my hand, popped the tab off of the caaaaaaan

I came up with something or the other three lines leading up to the chorus, but this one was the best.

Check out the Bohemian Brewery website. Can I be impartial about websites and package design? I think I can (no pun intended… you know, because they all come in cans). The lion on the outside feels strong. They love vespas, too – I’ve never owned one, but I’m going to get one this summer. This is the one I want. What do you think? Comments on vespas and beer below!

Oh yeah, the lion. You gotta feel like a man when you’re drinking this, baby. Look at that lion. He means business. I bet that lion chews on expensive foodall of the time. If you put a mask on this guy, you could ride him like He-Man. This is the lion your man could be riding right now.

The Pilsner? Traditional. Where to find it? Gotta go to the land of the Pow-Pow or have a friend send it to you. Be one of the first to try it before they go global with this baby!

Just The Facts

Appearance: Pours a clear gold with a generous off-white head
Smell: Biscuity malt
Taste: Acidic and tart on the front end, hops come up strong in the finish balanced with the malt
Mouthfeel: Light body, just short of medium carbonation
Drinkability: Easy drinker, you could lose track of how many you’ve had quickly
