What's ur favourite beer? what about the worst?
-
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

US laws severly restrict alcohol levels in 'beer'. it varies state to state, but i've never seen anything above 6%. Andreas Saurwein wrote: I've heard this, but even for most european beers the belgian ones are strong. yeah, i (barely) remember. when i was in Belgium, we went to a beer store and bought a bunch of the high-octane beers (they all had the alcohol percentage right on the bottle cap!). at 12%, they were as strong as wine (but not as tasty :) ). -c

You can virtually taste it here: http://www.duvel.be[^] Be warned: it's a lot stronger than Heineken.
Strong beer generally tastes bad ;P IMO, anything above 5.5% is a failure. I've had one good strong beer (some Danish ale) so far. -- Run around in the radiation Run around in the acid rain, On a black, black planet

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.

No, the American versions. I haven't tried the Czech beer yet. Is it anything like Pilsner Urquell? BW "I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific." - Lily Tomlin
Jip, it's really tasty - that's my opinion of course... Cheers Martin "Situation normal - all fu***d up" Illuminatus! http://www.martin-haesemeyer.de

Ahh... Castle! :) There's a SA restaurant chain opened up in Dublin, 'Spur Steakhouse', and that's one of the beers on the list. It's the only place you can buy it - and I love the taste. :) John. www.silveronion.com[^]

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 :) )

Paul Watson wrote: Yeah if you are wealthy, Heineken is rather costly here. 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!

I'm planning on taking a pink bus (www.rosabussarna.com - in swedish only) through either Africa or South America. It's one of those really long and adventerous trips that goes on forever (anywhere between 5 and 9 weeks depending on trip). A couple of the trips goes through Brazil. Where in Brazil were you going? I might just be able to have a beer or many with you :-D -- Run around in the radiation Run around in the acid rain, On a black, black planet
