      The best: Almost every Belgian beer like Duvel, Westmalle, Orval, Hoegaarden, ...;P;P;P The worst: Dutch beer like Heineken. X| Franky.

      Heineken is a fine lager. Personally I think it's the best. I like how it tastes before and after I've swallowed the beer. It's a win-win beer. :) However, I'd like to point out that I haven't had any Belgian beers so far, so I can't dispute your claim. :) -- Run around in the radiation Run around in the acid rain, On a black, black planet

        It does rock. A Heineken goes well to food, to a hockey game, on the balcony a hot summer day. And it works quite well as a brain blaster device. ;) -- Run around in the radiation Run around in the acid rain, On a black, black planet

Not a fine-food restaurant, but a good value for money family joint. As for Castle... well it tastes best in draught form, not very keen on it out of the bottle. But I will tell a client of ours that you like it, SABMiller (the client contact knows I don't like castle. So when we go down to the on-site pub I get Amstel or Black Label. mmmmmm :) )

Cheap beer is our brain blaster of choice, something like Castle or Tafel Lager. It is a refined beer IMO, for actually enjoying. One of the very few beers I can say I actually like the taste.

Really? 3.5 liters of bull piss (Falcon Export) costs 88 SEK (~ 80 Rand) while 3.5 liters of Heineken costs 121 SEK (110 Rand). 3.5 liters 5.5% will make anyone pretty plasted (equates roughly to half a liter of 40% strong liquor). The difference is just 33 SEK/30 Rand which is acceptable - if you take the taste and the end result into account. :) Paul Watson wrote: It is a refined beer IMO, for actually enjoying. Mmmhmm! Try it with chili peanuts - it's a combination made in heaven. :) -- Run around in the radiation Run around in the acid rain, On a black, black planet
