- I hope I can bring some light in your discussion: Eger is a Hungarian city near the Hungarian-Slovak
- border, famous with its heroic resistance to the Turks in the 17th century and more famous with its
- vineyards. Conrad is right, Egri Bikaver ("Bull's Blood from Eger") is one of the best red wines from
- Hungary.
-
- David is also right. Eger is the German name for the Czech city Cheb, located in Western Bohemia
- in the close vicinity of German border. The domestic name of that beer is "Chebsky' Starovar" and
- it is a popular brand there. I do not think the taste is a result of flavoring - I would search for
- the cause in the technology and the water they use.
