- Budmilloors bears about as much resemblence to a good Pilsener such as
- Pilsener Urquell as dirty dishwater does to champagne. Sam Adams is much
- closer to a Pilsener that the blasphemous majors. Baderbrau is from
- near Chicago, Elmhurst, I think, and while a Pilsener of sorts is inferior
- to Legacy Lager, also brewed in Chicago. I have not had Sam Adams Lager
- recently, but others say it is like some Pilseners (nor will I buy it after
- hearing that they are sueing a Boston Micro for using the cities name. I
- mean, it is despicable that a brewery that brews in Pittsburgh is sueing
- a brewery that brews in Boston for using thei city's name).
