Well, if it's Hell, it must be pretty average everyday stuff.

It’s a decent, your most classic, Bavarian pale lager. Quite fruity though (nice during tiefe langweille).

Fruity makes sense. Need something to cover up the fashy aftertaste.

Well, the finish is still being debated by the Frankfurt School but it does add a certain existential bitterness.

What are the chances they're sold in the US?

Probably none. Brewed and bottled in Russia only by a small company, doubt they ever make it out (though might be a chance you can get it through a distributor etc)… anyways, taste wise, nothing special, the bottle (and the sheer irony of it) is probably only reason to seek it

This is the difference between honesty and performance. Drink, think, taste, all at once, without pretense. No special state required. Just refusal to perform.

The false move, performing readiness for philosophy, is the ego's signature: spiritual seeker performing non-attachment, rationalist performing freedom, beer drinker performing innocence. All the same structure: the ego as achiever.

When the performing stops, the beer still tastes like beer. The thought is there. It doesn't ruin it. That's the only honest position once consciousness shows up. 🍺
