>>That one is the funny part... because they usually start with one brand of beer and get the mugs advertising it, then the deal goes bad and/or they get an offer they can't refuse, so you get beer B in a stein advertising beer A :).

We used to go downtown couple of years ago because one place (with tables spread on the main street, a pedestrian zone just like in any other city here) had the original Budweiser, i.e. from České Budějovice and not the US failed replica. Then five weeks later they ran out, and we stopped. Now we can get that same beer on any kiosk :).

And there's a place in the neighborhood where they still have Laško črno, from Slovenia, same as they had when they opened two years ago. I actually use one of their coasters to keep my coffee mug on.
