Beer?

[JanMichael]

Well?

[ProudGerman]

1. Beer is blah with me

I can drink it, but I don't necessarily like it. I don't know what it is, but I'm just not crazy about it.

[JohnKleeb]

2. YES!

you bet,

[ProudGerman]

4. No beer for those who only have to shave once a week

Come back when you have a decent stubble.



But, you can "hold" this freshly opened, ice cold Guinness for me.

[JohnKleeb]

11. Hey not my fault!

oh and I love Guinness. *takes it and chugs* :beer:
Hey I kinda got a bit of a stubble going now :).

[rucky]

3. Oxygen?

[Dirk39]

5. Not sure...

first you did steal Iraq, and I didn't have enough WMDs to reply. Now you're after Holsten - germans invented "Bier" - and Budweiser - the Czech invented "Pils".
Desperately drinking red whine in Germany,
Dirk

[JanMichael]

9. The Czechs are whiners!

I've been to Praha a dozen times and frankly their "Bud" is just as bad as our "Bud":evilgrin:

[JohnKleeb]

12. Well how Czech Republic itself

:shrug:

[Dirk39]

15. was sold to an american company?

Doesn't sound to hard to believe:-)
Hi John,
Dirk

[JohnKleeb]

20. heh

:) ha!
I think I know what youre gettin at, sigh :( they supported the war at least their PM did but I bet there was some noise in Prague,
:hi:
I am not part Czech but I am part their next door neighbor, Slovak, and also German like you among Irish of course and Slovene.

[JanMichael]

16. SHHH!

I'm just yanking his chain.

[JohnKleeb]

21. Sure

*shhs* I was asking you about Czech Republic itself though.

[JanMichael]

25. I love Praha! Except for the over abundance of US trust fund babies.

I've had some GREAT times there. What's that vodka-like national drink again (Peppermint or cinnamin flavored?)? I had one night where I was accepted as one of the locals and dranks a tub of that stuff, good times...

Oh and the people were superb.

[JohnKleeb]

28. Youre asking a 16 year old about drinks

Dude I dont know! Ok cool. I know you lived in Poland, but this is cool. *cracks down to Czech dictionary* heh.

[Dirk39]

49. Don't tell any other DUer, Psssst....

but the only country among the coalition of the willing, which has my full support, is Poland. They rejected the IMF and the Worldbank somehow. And looking at Germany (where I live) and Russia now and in the past...
Even now, that the reunited Germany shows its' full arrogance again, they fight back. You could hardly find any other country in Europe defending its' freedom like Poland, and they were victims far too often.
But my story about an american company buying Holsten - one of the most prominent beer-producers in Germany - and Budweiser is true!
Prost,
Dirk

[FarLeftRage]

6. You buying?

[Terwilliger]

7. Queen to Kings Level One

what do I win?

[Jack Rabbit]

8. Yes!!

However, I no longer consider Bud, Miller or Coors beer.

I'm spoiled.

[Lady Freedom]

10. Coors!

Thats my fav.!

[fishnfla]

14. he asked beer?

not gop piss.

[Lady Freedom]

24. **************

:P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P

[burr]

13. we puritans only drink when we need an upper...

Zima is my favorite followed by Tequiza...:beer:

[ProudGerman]

17. ever put Skittles in your Zima?

It's almost as fun as putting Zima in Skittles, lol.

[FDRrocks]

27. The local variation (PA)

is Jolly Ranchers in the zima... makes it taste like a tangy piece of candy. yum.

[ProudGerman]

52. Jolly ranchers are done too

But the flavor from the Skittle is more intense. Plus, it's fun watching the inexperienced drop a few Skittles in their freashly opened Zima and freaking out when it foams up like crazy, they don't know to drain the bottle a bit before adding the Skittles.

[burr]

53. I've had plenty of experiences, some more fun than others...

I prefer to save the wet and wild for my late evening delights.

[JanMichael]

18. Surely you can't be serious???!! ZIMA & TEQUIZA?!

Oh dear lord...

[burr]

26. thankfully I don't drink beer much, so never fear!

Oozo is my drink, to Greeks all beer is water...

[Leftist78]

23. umm...the question was about BEER.

where are those damn Reinheitsgebot beer purity laws when I need them

[burr]

30. so tell me friend...

what is this thing called beer? :shrug:

[Leftist78]

34. very simply

malt (barley or wheat), hops (to add the bitterness and to act as a natural preservative), yeast (to make the alcohol), and water (for obvious reasons)

anything else is NOT beer. God Bless the Germans.

[burr]

37. but let me guess...

Heineken is more U.S. water, right?

[Leftist78]

40. No

it's water from Holland :silly:. It's not that bad, much better than the American standards like Bud, Coors, Miller, Icehouse, etc.

If you want a good American beer that's redily available try Samuel Adams Boston Lager.

I'm having one right now :beer:

[burr]

43. I've tried Samuel Adams...

but I hate dark beer, it tastes like wood and water to me!!!! :puke:

I'll give the Boston Lager a try. Any others?

[Leftist78]

47. hmm...

Becks would be pretty good for you

and...

Lowenbrau
Warsteiner
or any other German-style lager should be pretty good for you. I suspect you like a milder tasting beer and those are some good ones

and if you're feeling a little more adventurous

Anchor Steam
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
Bass
Harpoon I.P.A
or Spaten's Oktoberfest

These have a little more kick, but you might like them too.

[burr]

51. I'll give all a try..

I have tried Lowenbrau and Bass, enjoyed them both!

Moving away from beer, what about moonshine...any tips on what to get?

I tried something that was made from Apple Cider, and I loved it!!! The problem, it was a one time batch made in Ellijay. And it isn't easy to come by! It would be great to find some sold in the stores.

[mopinko]

19. drink local

goose island beer. the world's finest microbrewery.

[alfredo]

38. A good local beer is Kentucky Ale. Not a bad drink at all

But Dortmunder Gold from Cleveland is my favorite. It is tasty and potent.

I haven't tried Goose Island yet, but I know I will.

[FDRrocks]

39. My local beer is

Yuengling :)

[FDRrocks]

22. *chug*

Ahhhhh. Saturday.

[Leftist78]

Thomas Creek

[jus_the_facts]

29. Tonight I had 4 Bud longnecks and a doz. oysters on the half shell.......

[JohnKleeb]

I'm not majorly into jam bands, but I hang with alot of hippies so a couple bands got under my skin. These guys are one of them. I saw them once and they were great!

[jus_the_facts]

46. My favorite song by them is....

.....Soul Shine...s'better than sunshine...s'better than moon shine...s'damn sure better than the rain....ahh yeah awesome!!:thumbsup: Bet they are great live too! *envy* :evilgrin:

[JohnKleeb]

[AntiCoup2K4]

42. Here's a link to my Winter Beer guide that I started on another board

Drink up :beer:

Think I'll go for the Sierra Nevada tonight....

[mopinko]

45. another great local beer

sierra nevada! made with fresh hops, and only fresh hops. for best reuslts local brew should be drunk at the pubs. bottles are better than nothin', but draft is THE way to go. :toast: :toast::toast::toast::toast:

[Leftist78]

48. They make some great beers

the Pale Ale is one of my top 5 all time mmmmm...think I'll go have one :beer:

[JanMichael]

44. I'm a little disheartened that this thread has had so many responses.

<sigh>

Reprobates:evilgrin:

[Capn Sunshine]

Cerveza excellente y oscura de la frontera entre Arizona Y Mexico

Missoula, MT.

Yummm, nothing like a pint of drool!

Woof

[Piperay]

55. YECH, hate beer

I like just about any kind of alcohol but beer, can't see the attraction. :puke: :puke: :puke:

[FlyByNight]

56. Beer? Oh yeah.

My tastes run mainly Irish to English - Guinness being my fave - with some German beer occasionally. I don't touch domestics usually, except for micros.

:9

[Padraig18]

57. Beer is the elixir of life!

There is NOTHING like a good pint of beer! :hi:

[opus460]

58. mmmmm....beeeeerrrrrrrrr.........

A few personal favs:

Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA (Delaware)
Magic Hat Blind Faith (Vermont)
Harpoon IPA (Mass)
Otter Creek Copper Ale (Vermont)


Bud, Miller, et al are "canoe" beers.

[RushIsRot]

59. Nectar of the gods!

Too bad it has so many calories that I cannot drink it any longer.
