Dear President Biden …
A perfect caper has just landed in our lap and, Mr. Commander-in-Chief, according to the School of Free Thought, we can have a hot-diggedy time with this one. Not many on your cabinet will know this but on May 6
th, 1945, the “Fightin’ Armadillos,” which you’ll recognize as the 16
th Armored of General Patton’s Third Army, liberated Plzen, Czechoslovakia from despicable Nazi Germany. Since then, Plzen has become ‘Pilsen, Czech Republic’ and, sir, it is world famous because of the saintly craftwork by Bavarian brewer Josef Groll who, in 1842, used the area’s legendary Saaz noble hops and the area’s unique soft water to create the first ‘Pilsner beer.’ That’s right, it is the home of Pilsner technique and today’s nectar of the gods, born in the city-owned Pilsner Urquell Brewery, is evermore the benchmark.
