Beer
 

So what kind of beers do you like?

Personally i tend to drink some random danish pilsner, because it's cheap and I'm used to it ;)

Ceres is the absolute favorite. The normal ceres top pilsner is actually very fine. A bit neutral but with a generally good taste. The export has a bit stronger flavour but, it's nice too.

Don't EVER drink tuborg! It's watered down beer. Honestly. Carlsberg is way better, although i don't really know if the export beer tastes better. Carlsberg is still not really a beer i would recommend for anything else fast drinking. It's not that tasty.

oh btw, tuborg julebryg (christmas beer) is awful too.

I kinda like urquell too, but it's very 'spicy', compared to most danish beers, so I think it goes better with food.

Re: Beer
 

dunno, almost every beer except holsten and tuborg ( that's pretty cheap, isnt it ? cause often you see homeless ppl with such stuff )

Rothaus isnt bad, it's a rather local beer in BadenWürtemberg I think

but if I drink, it's more often wine :)

Friends don't let friends drink and type.

Re: Beer
 

I hear Coors Light is good (although I like the Heineken girl better). I am not old enough to drink, and I don't really plan to start. My family has a history of alcoholism.

Re: Beer

Re: Beer
 

Heyyo,

Lol, w00t! now here's a good subject thread. ;)

I'm Canadian eh? so I love my home brewed beer (some are really sweet but lots of kick), I LOVE Lucky and Molson Canadian, Kokanee's ok... I also like Labatt Blue, cause it's like, a French-Canadian's beer eh?

I like killkenny, cheaper than Alexander Kieth's, and I say tastes just as good, and it's a pretty dark beer too. :)

Gotta love the Heine, cool how they come in keg-like cans. Coors is ok...

Budweiser? I say it's the only half-decent beer americans can make... interesting how they own some of our canadian beers yet can't copy them to make a decent beer. 9_9

[EDIT]
OH! I went to mexico before, and they made this one beer... Negra Modelo, it was pretty good, had a nice sweet taste to it.

And another exotic beer, this time from the Philippines: San Miguel. Definately one of the best exotic beers I've had... Lots of... :D

[EDIT2]
HEHEHE! who here's been to a novelty shop called San Fransisco? They have this one poster, "10 Reasons Why men love beer more than women" and my fav was: "When a man tells his beer 'I love you' he means it." 8D

Re: Beer
 

Hehehehe, cervezas, you of all people ought to like beer! I mean, with that nick...:D

I like many different beers. When I was in Spain, I was pleasantly surprised by some good beers they got - Cruzcampo, Alhambra or Mahou, for example. San Miguel is one of the few beers the rest of which I gladly emptied into a park after tasting one mouthful. Some obscure, brownish North-West American (Seattle Area) beer was equally awful, about at the same level like Chinese Ginseng beer. Yes, that exists.

I like the taste of Desperados, that Mexican beer, but unfortunately I get a headache from it no matter how little I drink. I like many Pilsners, too, but I'm afraid I'm not much into most dark beers, except for some nice bitters I drank in England and of course Kilkenny, which can be nice once in a while as well.

But I keep coming back to what I grew up with, our very special beer which is only brewed here in Cologne - Kölsch. There are more than 20 private breweries in the area of Cologne, and all of them make Kölsch. For people used to Pilsner or stronger beers it tastes weak at first, and Bavarians, who are used to drinking beer from 1l "buckets" often make fun of the small, thin glasses (0,2l - they kinda look like test tubes if you're used to fat tankards). But it's a great party beer, and nothing feels as good as one nice cool Kölsch after a longer time of drinking other beers. Not that I wouldn't enjoy other beers, but it just feels like your tongue is coming home...9_9

Concenring Dutch beer, I really don't understand why Heineken made it all around the world... I'd prefer Grolsch all the way, and not only because of the fancy "plop-action" bottles. But when we spent our holidays in the Netherlands and regularly plundered the nearest supermarket's Grolsch supply, we had a friend coming with a crate of Kölsch... all I say is "heaven".

Oh, and in Granada, Spain, there was a nice little private brewery where they made very yummy beer, and they emphasized that they made it according to the German law of beer purity, which has been in vigor since 1516(!) and survived every trouble in history and every change of governments, be they monarchies, republics, dictatorships or democracies. It has made sure that there's no unnecessary junk in our beer for nearly 500 years, and I hope it will live to its 1,000th year as well - Hail Beer! *burps*

-EDIT-

@ MarD: I do believe it's spelled "Kilkenny" (with one "l" only...) - "killkenny" is South Park. :P

Re: Beer
 

Heyyo,

Hehe, well sry if I try to read the labels on the taps while I'm drunk. :P

And as for you not liking San Miguel? meh, not all beers are for everyone.. that's why we need a variety eh? :D

Re: Beer
 

Ew, fanta sucks... Although I liked it in my childhood, that thing has too much sugar for me...

Re: Beer
 

At first I thought Fanta was some kind of alcoholic drink that you mixed with cola, but then Seu's comment forced me to look it up.


Germans invented it from a byproduct of cheese and jam.

Beer > Cheese+jam

Re: Beer
 

I don't care how it's done, as long as it tastes good and it doesn't give me headaches the morning after :)

Hey the canucks: check out what they make in Chambly, they have a pretty good brewery, and most of their beers are very famous in France. They even have cool names, like "Eau bénite", "Maudite", "Fin du monde", "Don de Dieu", etc. These are very tasty ones, a bit acid for some, but it depends. Watch out the alcohol rate: from 9 to 12 degrees :P

But overall I prefer beers from belgium or germany. More beer and less extra spices and crap. The Chimay make pretty good beers, and the Karmeliet Triple also is one of my favourites. When we're drinking beer, I usually start soft anyway, like, a Leffe, then move on to higher alcohol rates... a common strong beer in France (although I'm not sure it's brewed in France) is "La Bière du Démon" (Devil's Beer) which rates at 12°. It's vitriol. But the strongest I've drank ever was some variety of Eku, 35 fucking percent of alcohol!!! although I could never find it elsewhere since then. But man, this beer is a WMD.

Re: Beer
 

So true... but I'm not sure if we're talking about the same San Miguel here. If the one you drank was from the Philippines, it might have been a totally different beer.

Re: Beer
 

PMB, by degrees do you mean percent or proof?

Re: Beer
 

oh, of course.. that degree thingy is country specific. Well here it's roughly equivalent to percent, so yeah. But "proof"? I'm not sure I understand what that means...

Re: Beer
 

Proof is the amount of alcohol in a drink by volume, but it is twice the percentage. 5% alcohol is 10 proof, and 10% alcohol is 20 proof.

Re: Beer
 

Wow. You learn something new every day. 9_9

Re: Beer
 

Sure thing. But I think 87.93% of that is useless...

EDIT:
Just for those who think they sing to fast, here is the lyric

Re: Beer
 

Heyyo,

For drinkin' songs? me fav is by Gaston Mandeville

Encore ben saoul
Encore ben soûl encore ben défoncé
Tu cherches le troisième bout
D'la chandelle à brûler
Tu vois pas l'boutte ou tu l'vois trop tard
Tu planes en d'sous du monde qu'tu veux pas voir
Mais tu l'sais ben
Qu'un jour ça va lâcher

Encore ben soûl encore ben défoncé
Tu t'fais des trous
Pour laisser sortir la fumée
Tu vis la nuit parce que t'as peur de ton ombre
Pis toé tu suis pour pas briser la ronde
Mais tu l'sais ben

T'es dans l'ozone
Tu veux pas en sortir
C'est pas d'ta faute
Pis y'en a des pires que toi

Encore debout mais tu sais qu'tu vas tomber
Tu tiens l'coup
Juste pour te l'prouver
Tu vois pas l'boutte mais lui y t'voit
Cours comme un fou
La vie va t'rattraper

Re: Beer
 

My fave is from Oliver...

http://www.clip2u.co.kr/musicalcity/...om pah pah.mp3

There's a little ditty they're singin' in the city
Especially when they've been on the gin or the beer
If you've got the patience your own imaginations will tell you just exactly what you want to hear
Oom pah pah, oom pah pah, that's how it goes
Oom pah pah, oom pah pah, everyone knows
And they all suppose what they want to suppose when they hear oom pah pah

Mr. Percy Snodgrass would often have the odd glass
But never when he thought anybody could see
Secretly he'd buy it, and drink it on the quiet
And dream he was an Earl with a girl on his knee
Oom pah pah, oom pah pah, that's how it goes
Oom pah pah, oom pah pah, everyone knows
What is the cause of his red shiny nose?
Could it be oom pah pah?

Pretty little Sally goes walking down the alley
Displays her pretty ankles to all of the men
They could see her garters, but not for free and gratis
An inch or two and then she knows when to say when
Oom pah pah, oom pah pah, that's how it goes
Oom pah pah, oom pah pah, everyone knows
Whether its hidden or whether it shows
It's the same oom pah pah

She was from the country, but now she's up a gumtree
She let a fellow beat her, and lead her along
What's the use of cryin', she made her bed to lie in
She's glad to bring a coin in, and join in this song
Oom pah pah, oom pah pah, that's how it goes
Oom pah pah, oom pah pah, everyone knows
She is no longer the same blushing rose
Ever since oom pah pah

Oom pah pah, oom pah pah, that's how it goes
Oom pah pah, oom pah pah, everyone knows
And they all suppose what they want to suppose
When they hear oom pah pah
