Czech and Slovak Beers: A World Apart
by F. Sot Fitzgerald

It wasn't too long ago that Czechoslovakia existed.  Now it is no more.  What the European powers and politics mashed together has rent itself apart.  Though for the better part of a century they were fellow citizens, the Czechs and the Slovaks chose to split into separate republics, returning to the way it used to be.

This breakdown of Czechoslovakia should have come as no surprise.  The Czech and Slovak peoples are just that- different peoples with different histories.  One needs only taste their differing beers to recognize that though these people live close to one another, they are, nonetheless, in ways a world apart.
