Ex-RoNiN 0 Posted July 14, 2003 Here in America hard liqour is mainly for alcoholics and teenagers (McCormick Vodka is only like $8.00 for a 1.75l bottle, so you and 5 other guys can get drunk for less than $2.00 a piece, economical for high school students.)...as is cheapy macro-brew beer. I don't see anything sissy about a double shot of Jameson in a pint of Guinness... Can you see a teenager splashing out 100GBP or more on a bottle of whisky, simply to get drunk? Can you see a teenager drinking Whisky for enjoyment No? Thought so Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brgnorway 0 Posted July 15, 2003 My cup of tea - ehhh beer are these ones: For more casual sophistication: Newcastle Brown Ale For pleasure only   : Westmalle Trappist Dubbel Of course, my local beer is quite good too: Hansa Pilsner Beer is fine, but I guess I'm more of a claret loving guy!

-TU--33ker 0 Posted July 15, 2003 Here are some local beers I like: Detmolder Pilsener Detmolder Landbier (I prefer this one ) The beer you'll mostrly see at parties here is Herforder Pils. It's also from a local brewery. Sometimes I drink Wüllners Braumeister from Bilefeld. You can call this local, too. If it's not local stuff, then it will be Becks or Paulaner Weizen. cheers!

mr burns 132 Posted July 15, 2003 That´s my favourite, brewed in Cologne, near my Hometown. I didn´t know it´s available outside Germany...has anyone had a Reissdorf already ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-TU--33ker 0 Posted July 15, 2003 I only heard something about "Rammsdorfer Kölsch" it was mentionned in the movie "Voll Normaaal!" In fact I never had a Kölsch. I think you'll get it only around Cologne and I've never been down there. The best thing about beer is that it actually helps when you're thirsty and that you can drink a lot of it before you're drunk. And did I mention that it can be pretty cheap?

What beer do you mean, Hansa perhaps ?? I bought a Box of Reissdorf (20 bottles) a few minutes ago, it cost me 15 € (Pfand incl.), in the good ´ol times of the GermanMark the same was priced about 19 DM (10 €)  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joltan 0 Posted July 15, 2003 I prefer dark wheat beer ("dunkles Hefeweizen", like dark Erdinger) or dark beer in general (Ur-Köstritzer for example), apart from that maybe a good Pilsener style beer. The Czech beers are very good but hard to get around here, so I go with the local Rothaus. [put's on flame proof tin hat] Anyways, no beer's as good as a nice red wine (a Rioja or a dry burgundy)!

hneel 0 Posted July 15, 2003 Me and some (belgian) friends did a blind beer test lately. The idea was to test if belgian beer was indeed better than dutch beer. Only pilsner type beers were tested. Here are the results: Bavaria (NL) +2 Jupiler (B) +2 Amstel (NL) +1 Heineken (NL) +1 Romy (B) +1 Carlsberg (DK) 0 Grolsch (NL) 0 Kronenbourgh (F) 0 Karlsquell (B) -0,5 Stella Artois (B) -0,5 Derby (B) -1 Dommelsch (NL) -1 Primus (B) -1 Bitburger (D) -2 Delhaize premium (B) -2 Euroshopper (NL) -3 Hertog Jan (NL) -4 Maes (B) -4 Aro (B) -5 Brand (NL) -6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hneel 0 Posted July 15, 2003 Personally I like the stronger belgian beers most. For example: Duvel, Ciney, Chimay, Delirium Tremens, Tripel. But on hot days like this, a cool pilsner beer or a white beer is delicious too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brgnorway 0 Posted July 15, 2003 Personally I like the stronger belgian beers most. For example: Duvel, Ciney, Chimay , Delirium Tremens, Tripel. Oh yes, Chimay is a very good trapist beer. Have you tried Westmalle Trappist Dubbel? In my opinion it's even better . Edit: that includes both chimay blue and white Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ever heard something about Waldschloss? I think it's from Wuppertal and it's very cheap compared to other beers (around 30 cent for 0.5l), but it also tastes very good. Unfourtenately it's out of stock here at the moment. another cheap beer is Felsenkrone, but it's not very good. We once have stolen something about 35 cans from a party where they had the last canned beer after the Dosenpfand. after one week all the cans were finished in one evening. Because it tasted so awfull we had to use this special piece of equipment: (we're not on the photo) *edit* just found a definition of cheap German beer.
