Beer Talk

Beer is awesome. Talk about it here.



I've got this really really nice pils called Weltenburger Kloster that's absolutely animal. I had a lot of it in Germany when I was a wee lad and I've just found out that the offo down the road fro me is doing it on the cheap. I'm also having a lot of Utenos which is Lithuanian as far as I know. It's a very good lager.

Just out of curiosity, to any of our New Zealanders I was drinking a lager from your end of the world the other day. It made quite a big deal about being extra malty and it came in a yellow 6 pack (bottles) but I haven't been able to find it again. Any ideas?

I'm certainly no expert on lager, but my guess would be Monteith's Golden Lager:



Personally I'm far more into my porters these days - luckily one one of our local breweries (Emerson's) makes a very good one....

Found it, it's called Mac's Gold. I have no idea of the opinion of it back in NZ, but I liked it.

Have you ever had a peated porter Darwin? They malt the barley over a peat fire, which gives it a really distinct taste. Nom.

I do not believe I have - sounds good though. I shall have to look out for one next time I go to buy some more beer.

EDIT: Just brought myself a bottle of this stuff:

It contains beechwood smoked malt (rather than peat smoked malt) but I'd assume it would have a similar effect. I'm tempted to give it a try now, but I should probably wait until the Highlanders match tonight (especially considering I'm still at work...).

While I can't really comment on other countries beer, as I haven't tasted it, except for Grolsch, Heineken (duh), Millers, Peroni and Fosters... I am a very frequent drinker of the frothy brewskie!

In South Africa we have Amstel lager (which is an international brand) and then:

But we also get Namibian Beer:

Not a huge beer drinker, in fact not an alcohol drinker full stop any more, not had anything for nearly 3 months.

When I do I like Brains SA Gold, Corona and an Argentinian lager, Quilmes

So you drink Amstel, Grolsh and Heineken... Deep down you love Holland ey


The beers I enjoy the most:


1. Guinness (not a beer, but still)
2. Hertog-Jan (Dutch beer with a fine taste. Not the type of beer you chuck away in 5 minutes)
3. MGD (Miller's, a refined beer which is nice to drink during dinner)


Honourable mention:

Desperado's. This drink is something else. Beer with a spray of tequila, makes it perfect to drink on a summer evening.

My zo'n says the same thing. He loves Holland because I'm from Holland. I hate Holland though. People keep rambling on about how great it is, but in the end it's s as bad as the United States of Assholes

I've flipped flopped my choice of beer. I've always been a fan of a Heineken, but lately I drink a lot more Speight's. I also drink Tsingtao lately, a chinese beer that is pretty cheap in my local supermarket (like $2.99 for 630ml) and actually fairly reasonable in taste.

 

[TRF_Ezequiel]

I tried Tsingtao a couple of weeks ago but I had trouble finishing my drink. It was too much cider-like.

Planning on having quite a bit of Švyturys Baltijos Dark Red tonight. It's a Marzen been from Lithuania that's brewed with caramelised malt, making it a bit sweet, but pretty refreshing. Also, at 5 for a tenner it's right in my price range

Duvel, Vedett, actually most Belgian beers.
Bulmers and Rekordlig (love those fruity ciders)

Picked up some monteits and speights.

 

[lucky number 7]

Trying something called BlonderBrau now , 1 euro a can , so I'm not expecting anything of the Tasty Variety

Last night I got myself some lovely San Miguel , I love the flavours off it

And the night before that it was all about the Touborg , 3 euro a pint is not an offer to be turned down.
