Czech president: US beer is ‘filthy water’

The Drinking Business ^

[PGalt]

Craft beer BUMP!

[sinsofsolarempirefan]

They spared him an ignonimous end from the hangman’s rope and a garbage disposal of a ‘funeral’. Instead, he died a heroes death in battle and got a military funeral.

Personally, for mass produced, I prefer Klinskoe (Клинское) - doesn't give me a headache the next day.

For "live beer" (unpasteurized beer), I prefer Khadizhenskoe (Хадыженское)

[lavaroise]

Yuengling is the only beer that does not make me vomit. Lagers in general have the taste anyways, ie. Beers from Hamburg.

I read in one of the library's books on beer, and it may/may not have been Jackson's The Beer Hunter, that Adolphus Busch stole from the Czech Budvar brewery: 1: the name, 2: the recipe and 3: the slogan [Beer of kings]. And to me, Bud Light is nasty, if that was it for beer, I'd drink booze. My fave is Anchor Steam, but it's way pricey so it's a celebrator. Also Spaten Optimator...

[W.]

Yes, it used to say right on the label ‘Proudly brewed with rice...’ and Rolling Rock and others use corn! Aghhh...

[Night Hides Not]

That’s Texan beer. Big difference.

No lie! In addition to Shiner, another favorite brew of mine is from Rahr Brewery in Fort Worth: Buffalo Butt.

[ScottinVA]

Agreed. American mass-produced beer is kind of rancid. I much prefer my home brew.

[Kenny Bunk]

PAQ is true beer country.

Many great and not so great local beers: Ortliebs (no two bottles taste alike)in beat-up, indifferently sealed recycled brown bottles, Senators Club, Olde Griesedick, Polski Pivo, Fox Head (the secret ingredient)Yuengling of course, and a thousand others.

The worthy study of lifetime.

[Kenny Bunk]

Ah, Venezuela, where the men are men and the mosquitos never end. Polar is now in short supply and so is toilet paper. When’s the next coup?

[csvset]

I was recently watching a South Korean television series and here are the characters in a luxury hotel in Hong Kong and what’s in the hotel room mini bar ? PBR ! I LOL’d

[Ax]

Or lukewarm Falstaff in rusty cans....

[laplata]

LOL That, too.

[T-Bone Texan]

"For the most part he’s right, but he’s never tried Shiner Bock

Shiner puts out many good products. Every year they put out an anniversary beer; I think this year it is 104, and those are heavy and yummy, but for my money, I will always go with Shiner Black.

It is so good I served it at my wedding at the Ladybird Johnson wildflower Center.

[Sequoyah101]

Don’t know but I sat on the terrace at the Taminaco drinking gin and tonics and eating $15 argentine t- bones with prawns big as lobsters while I watched a failed coup going on down the hill at the GA airport. Until it finished my plane couldn’t take off. Bullets are like mosquitoes some times.

What a hoot!

[Kenny Bunk]

Nothing wrong with Falstaff. In fact, many consider it the Rolling Rock of the Lower Classes. It can also be used as a stain-fighting pre-laundry soak.

[Kenny Bunk]

Spaten Optimator

Come on, you made that up!

Drei Tausend Meters ...
Torpedo und Spaten Optimator ....LOS!

[W.]

Ha! I mean, Nein! Ist sehr gut bier, ja! First bottle I had there were tiny letters at the top of the label reading 'Malt Liquor' but not because it's 40 dog swill--it's 7.6% ABV, and German law requires such description. Now, on to the triple bock! Burp!

[Kenny Bunk]

Lissen you, ich haben das stiefel gedrunken in most of the odd corners of das Reich and I still never heard of diese Spaten Optimator, which I think you have possibly confused with a NAZI wunderwaffen scheduled for deployment in 1946. IIRC, it was an anti-tank mine of enormous power camouflaged to look like a pferdapfel.

Take two Narragansetts and call me in the morning.

[Ax]

I haven’t seen a Falstaff in a donkey’s years. Health issues force me to go on the wagon about two years ago. The beer I was drinking before I quit was Stella Artois, outstanding beer. I don’t think much of RR either. A happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, Kenny.
