Not sure if that's what you mean, but yeah, export versions of the Czech lagers really suffer a lot. Obviously getting it from the barrel will always be better than bottles, but imo much more so with Budweiser/Pilsner/Staropramen. In Prague pubs/restaurants they're probably my peak beer experience.

I've also tried some German abbey beers and they were so incredibly inferior to their Belgian counterparts.
Yeah, the Reinheitsgebot restricts a lot, but smaller breweries don't have to follow it 100% up to certain outputs IIRC. Also, it ensures a really high floor, some of the cheapest **** is still very drinkable, which is nice because
