Gambrinus is not only one of the most popular Czech beers, but also the name of a legendary king o Flandres, unofficial patron saint of beer and the art of beer brewing (picture above, on the right).
There is a law in Brazil that free churches from taxes... I know now which saint my church will praise when I create it as a mean of tax evasion: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambrinus
The bottle on the center was aquired when travelling to Dresden and stopping at Czech Republic for refuelling (the car :P), the other two were yet another contribution from Anderl. All the bottles are 500ml volume, and though two are mostly the same, the label is slightly different. In other occasion, I wouldn't aquire the second bottle, but as I got it as a gift, it gets a picture here, a place in my shelf and in the catalogue.
The Gambrinus Premium is a Lager beer with 5,0% alcohol, while the Svetlý is a Pilsner (produced in the city of Pilsen, Czech Republic) with 4,1% alcohol. Both are produced by Plzeňský Prazdroj brewery and were posted all together here to save my fingers from typing and your eyes from reading too many posts.
