(...) Jan, What a coincidence, last night I was kegging my first attempt at a Pilsner Urquell. I will starting drinking it in a week.

Hello Spamcake fans! Every so often the question "what is it" pops up, so I've made a page explaining what it is (so far). For town and train themes, its definition probably won't change.
