What is the real king of beer?

[Nunavut Patrick]

Carlton Cold is a great aussie beer along with Carlton Gold. Also Boaggs is another from Tazmania.

 

Beer Lao from Laos is a great Beer.

 

Got into the micro brews and Preservative free ales of seattle / British Columbia when i was last out there.

 

Home.

 

Leffe

Kroney

Red Stripe

San Miguel

Carlsberg

 

British Columbia is where it's at for microbrewery. And weed as well, if you like that sort of thing.

 

 

aws- It's a crime against humanity when any brewery closes. It should be the first article in the UN Declaration of Human Rights.

[johnb]

[Evil_Ways]

Hi mates,

 

Am new here. Thought I'd like to point out a bit of trivia from this part of the world.

 

San Miguel is NOT from Spain, it is actually from the Philippines.

 

Chang Beer is NOT from Malaysia, it is actually from Thailand.

 

Tiger Beer is from Singapore, my beer of choice. Singapore being in the tropics, so Tiger Beer is meant to be consumed very cold, or as locals will tell you, with ice actually (sic!)

 

Alright, but why is it written on the San Miguel bottle infront of me Brewed in Spain, and has a Spanish flag on it ? :idea:

Next time I'm over- they had ads up for a high speed ferry when I was over in April. Now, being Catholic I don't even need a passport do I?

 

Quaffing Heinekens in the Republic of Cork with a 6'7 Irishman- the perfect interlude between a League and European home matches on a Liverpool trip.

 

Any laws on importation of seal meat or can I just club one on the way over- don't they hang out on an island near the Wirral?

Colonialism. Same reason Abel Xavier can play for Portugal.

put on something green and "act" drunk and you'll need no passport ;)

 

If you get a hankering for seal meat , I know a bloke who has a boat ,will a baseball bat with nails thru it be enough to kill a seal ???

[Gav]

deadly serious gav. not a better pint anywhere imo (not that i ever remember much after a night on it!).

 

Excellent ....I'll be in the cabbage pre and apres game from now on then

 

Cheers for the heads up , next time I'm over I'll bring a bottle of the Cork made heineken ......best you'll ever taste

[Evil_Ways]

Right.

But before i lay it to rest, you sure the Philippines was a spanish colony ?

[terry mac]

Can of Carling

Pint of Carlsberg

[Sutty]

Red Stripe is pure mon. Vote Red Stripe.

oh aye good beer that! proper rock n roll beer that is too.

[Nunavut Patrick]

Right.

Yes it was at first, but when Spain got bogged down in other colonial wars the American's snapped her up and ran it as a protecteriat, circa late 1800's early 1900's.

 

And not soon after the first mail order bride was shipped over.

 

God Bless America.

[Rushian]

anyway my recommendation, Hop Back Summer Lightning - manna from heaven.

Canada, Denmark agree to Hans Island process

CTV.ca News Staff

 

Canada and Denmark have agreed on a process aimed at ending the dispute over Hans Island, Foreign Affairs Minister Pierre Pettigrew said Monday.

 

Pettigrew said officials from both sides will meet over the coming months to pore over old maps and documents with an eye to ending the fight over the rocky outcrop in the Arctic that both countries claim as their own.

 

"As friendly countries, of course, it is our shared objective that we resolve this issue -- that we put this issue behind us," Pettigrew said.

 

"We now have a process -- a process in which the officials will be working together, gathering all of the relative information and trying to find a way forward to do this."

 

However, he said that Canada is not willing to give up its sovereignty over the island, which is only as big as a few city blocks.

 

"It remains our firmly held position, of course, that Canadian sovereignty needs to be clear over Hans Island," Pettigrew said.

 

Pettigrew made the comments from New York, at the 60th anniversary summit of the United Nations. He met with Danish Foreign Minister Per Stig Moller on the sidelines of the summit.

 

The island, which sits uninhabited between Canada's Ellesmere Island and Greenland, has been an irritant between the two countries for decades.

 

Pettigrew again insisted again today that the quarrel between the two countries is not about the surrounding waters, since boundaries were agreed upon in 1973.

 

However, there has been widespread speculation that claims to the island by both countries have to do in part with the effect that global warming could play in opening up the Northwest Passage, creating a major shipping route between Asia and Europe.

 

Melting ice could also make it easier to look for undersea resources, such as oil and gas.

 

Tensions over the island were sparked this summer, when Defence Minister Bill Graham made an unannounced stop to the island during a trip to the Arctic in July.

 

The Danish government denounced the move as an "occupation" and rushed to plant flags on the island. It later called off that plan.

 

However, previous flag plantings by the Danes have been the focus of protests by Canada in 1984, 1988 and 2004.

 

The Danes already control Greenland, and they say Hans Island is part of that ancestral territory. But Canada claims the island was discovered by the British and ceded to Canada

.

 

Our foreign minister- a French-Canadian. I'd say it's in the bag for youse lot, Peter. He'll surrender when Per-Stig Moller looks at him sideways.

 

 

Here are some of my mates raising the Maple Leaf!

[Gav]

who cares about you fish paste eaters moaning about some rock in the middle of no where ,the important question is how good is their local beer and whats it called

So no war??... I guess DT left Denmark for no good reason then??

[Dirk]

I reckon that by May, Chang will be the beer of all Liverpool fans, as I've heard it goes down really easily.

[DT]

Does that mean I can go back now without the threat of being drafted hanging over me?

 

Sayonara Liverpool it is then;)

[DT]

I see I'm the only one who's voted for Efes. I did it out of sentimental reasons obviously. Every time I have one of them I think back to that glorious week in Istanbul.
