National Bohemian Beer

National Bohemian Beer was established in 1885 by the National Brewing Company of Baltimore, Maryland.  Since 1999 it has been a  Pabst product.  Sold in the Baltimore area (it has never been a nationwide product), it is known for its winking Mr. Boh character featured on all cans and bottles.  National Bohemian (Natty Boh to the locals) has a 4.28% alcohol rating.  Another variant, National Bohemian Ice (sold as Boh Ice) has a 5.8% alcohol rating.  The most well known National Brewing product, Colt 45 malt liquor, sold nation-wide, is also today a Pabst product.  This beer is well loved in the Baltimore area, and is somewhat of a home-town legend in those parts.  It is widely available in cans, bottles, and on tap.  It is sold wherever beer is available at the value-priced level.  Bohemian-style beer, or Pilsner (today also known as Czech beer) was developed by Bohemian Germans in the 1800s with new the laagering techniques, and marketed as the "world's first golden beer."  Beer drinkers will find Natty Boh to be a pleasant, round American beer.
