I just talked to the Pilsner Urquell's U.S. market freight forwarder.
He is under the impression that the U.S. gets the same beer as Europe
and that it needs neither preservatives nor stabilizers before its one
year expiration date.  Given the mutual near worship of good Pilsner
by my BMW brethren, however, I will try to get the straight scoop - or
rather, the straight shot if research demands it, preferably with
some Becherovka.
