Time for something less serious than socialism, and something much more important, which is the greatest beer/lager in the world?

This is kinda eurocentric beers at the moment, if you really want one up there just demand it.

Castlemaine XXXX, Us Australians make the best beer. I have even done a brewery tour at the XXXX breweries. And got to drink as much of it as we wanted afterwards.

I like Amstel, dutch beer is very underated.

Dislogic · Oct 14, 2003, 08:30 pm

i prefer Bass Ale or Sam Adams. I also like Smithwics and carlsburg :)

G. Adams · Oct 14, 2003, 09:23 pm

Ahh man your all softies, get on the Stella and Krony.

einned · Oct 17, 2003, 09:58 am

Guinness absolutely is my topbeer. In the beginning it took some adjusting but now I couldn't do without a pint every now and then.

G. Adams · Oct 17, 2003, 01:48 pm

Adjusting to? Ah you mean chewing through the head. man you need a knife and fork to get to your drink with a guinness. However, there is no better beer than guinness for clearing your throat after an absinth.

No, I think you meant to say "over-priced." Amstel sucks.

In fact, the taste of all beers sucks - so in that case, Keystone, the official U.S. party beer, gets the job done. :P

Vercingetorix · Oct 26, 2003, 06:50 pm

Sorry, I can't stand beer. It tastes like three-day-old water from a used and unflushed toilet.

I'll go with malt or rum mixes any day over beer.

G. Adams · Oct 26, 2003, 07:23 pm

Well I said beer, but I really mean lager. REAL beer, ah man that stuff sucks. Its just water and food colourings I swear.

Now if we were to open this into drinks other than beers and lager, I would have to say my favourite is two five vodka's and VK Energy. They're only 3.50 each at Bar Frescoes (on a thursday), and two of em sets you up for the night. As well as actually tasting nice. You could pay a fiver and do an 8 vodka and vk energy, but you can't drink a couple of those without regretting it.

RebelWithanAK · Oct 26, 2003, 07:31 pm

Sapporo, if things are opening up.

Vercingetorix · Oct 26, 2003, 07:51 pm

I am inexperienced with alcohol (I have only been slightly drunk twice), and the best I have had so far is O3, which I had for the first time last night.

G. Adams · Oct 27, 2003, 08:29 am

We gotta get you on the absynth me boy

uitmokum · Oct 27, 2003, 09:49 am

I usually drink Heineken, as I live in Amsterdam it's the beer on tap in most of the bars.

greendeath · Dec 5, 2003, 04:55 am

Where is the Alexander Keiths option?

G. Adams · Dec 5, 2003, 06:11 am

The what? I like to think of myself as pretty good with lager, trying everything I can lay may hands on, but Alexander Keiths?

It's my favorite beer, and its Nova Scotian, which is probably why you've never heard of it.

I'd never drank a beer that gave me a buzz after 5 bottles until I found Alexander Keiths.

G. Adams · Dec 5, 2003, 07:57 pm

I assume you mean pints? Whats its %?

Have you tried Stella Artois? If your hardened to it its nothing ( i been drinking it since I was 14 now), but for most people they don't have the stomach for that much (were going by my mates Official Drinking Rate, that is one pint per 20 mins). So far I'm onto 11 before having to stop.

But the best for knocking you down is Special Brew, i think its about 7%. It doesn't taste great, not like Stella, but still good for a night out.
