The heat here is unbearable. It just won't let up, so I have to stay in the shade when I go outside. On the bright side, a cold beer is the perfect remedy for the heat.
Today, I've encountered several difficulties and problems, or what Americans would call "challenges," that I'm not sure how I will solve in the next few weeks.
Beer probably won't help me with that, but anyway.
It's #beersaturday, 374 in a row, with one Czech and one German can chilling in the fridge.
I know they won't solve my problems, but maybe I'll see the situation from a different perspective :)

Brewed by Pivovar Protiv铆n (Mestsk媒 Pivovar Platan), Protiv铆n, South Bohemia, Czech Republic for Kaufland Europe food chain.
Can, 0.5 l, alcohol 4.8% ABV, IBU N/A
It's a Czech or Bohemian Pilsner-style beer, a rich Czech lager with considerable bready malt and solid bitterness.
What do the Master Brewers say?
Bruncv铆k beer, honest Czech original. Czech brewers have brewed a proper Czech beer with love and refined taste for you. The traditional recipe, creamy foam, golden color, and refreshingly bitter taste will impress any true beer drinker.

I got it from a friend who bought it in the Czech Republic at a Kaufland store and brought it to me. I have already tried the Platan Premium beer from the Protivin brewery, and it was all right.
The beer is clear, light orange, and has an average head. It has no particular smell other than a slightly malty odor. The first sip goes down the throat smoothly, of course, because it is cold, but in the mouth, at first, I do not detect any bitterness, just some malty sweetness and a faint aroma of herbs, and I do not know exactly what kind of herbs.
Only later, in the aftertaste, does the hop bitterness appear. It lasts for a while, and everything else disappears.
I don't know much about it. The beer is cold and drinkable, but I need something more compelling to excite me. It's not complex, more neutral and average, all made by the rules, but nothing special. I prefer the Platan from the same brewery.

Let's move on to Germany.
Brewed by Berliner-Kindl-Schultheiss-Brauerei (Radeberger Group), Berlin, Germany.
Can, 0.5 l, alcohol 5.1% ABV, IBU 27.
It's Pilsener or German Pils style beer, light-bodied, with malt flavor and floral hop aroma.
What do the Master Brewers say?
Our Berliner Kindl Jubil盲ums Pilsener declares love to the capital. It embodies the unique Berlin flair - elegant, lively, and cosmopolitan- like no other beer. Its perfect maturity and fine hop aroma ensure a full-bodied taste. This turns a moment of enjoyment into a little break from everyday life in the metropolis.
馃嵑
To be honest, I don't even know how it ended up in my fridge, whether someone brought it to me or I bought it locally. But it's here now, and it will disappear quickly :)
The beer is clear yellow, with an average head that falls quickly. It goes down the throat smoothly, and on the palate, I first taste a solid sweetness that is present throughout, followed by some less hop bitterness and herbal and pine aromas.
In the aftertaste, everything disappears quickly, including the bitterness.
The beer is drinkable and fresh. A classic Pilsner without any special features, similar to the previous one. I have no desire to drink another one. I will not remember it because it will no longer be in my fridge.

And what am I listening to as I write this and taste the beer?
Something from yesterday's #newtunes post. New band for me.
Thank you for your attention.
