Lagers of the World

[Carradona]

I know there are plenty of beer threads out there, but this is specific. I picked up a "Lagers of the World" set in Tesco earlier and it has 4 different beers from around the world:

 

1) Tuborg (Denmark)

2) Asahi (Japan)

3) San Miguel (Spain)

4) Sun Lik Beer (China)

 

Which one of them is the best do you reckon?

 

Also had some Tsingtao beer in the Ma Bo earlier which went down a treat.

[Stu Monty]

Probably Asahi, although drinking Tuborg in a warm bar in cold Copenhagen is one of my favourite holiday memories.

[Guest Dog Chaser]

Not tried the Chinese beer but the other 3 are all good. Tuborg being my pick, its brewed by Carlsberg and is more popular in Denmark than Carlsberg. Asahi is the Japanese rice beer, which is a very good beer. San Miguel is just associated with holidays in Spain

[Carradona]

I've gone for the San Miguel first because I have had it before and know what to expect.

[RobbieOR]

San Miguel.

 

Tuborg is 6 cans for 7:50 in Dublin but tastes like piss.

Drink it out of a bottle then.

I have. Still tastes like piss.

You're sailing very close to the neg here.

My arl lad loves it. Since you're from Denmark I'm going to ask you this Pete. Is it true that it is made in the same factory/brewery as Carlsberg?

[Liverpool lad]

Tuborg is fucking ace, I used to live in Denmark and I used to drink it when I had money.

When I wasn't treating myself to Tuborg, I would drink Dansk Pilsner (Spelling might be wrong) from Fakta. The Danes on here will hopefully know what I am talking about.

 

 

I owe you a neg Robbie

Yes, Carlsberg owns Tuborg. In some countries like say France, Tuborg is the main brand and you rarely see Carlsberg, other places it is the other way round. Carlsberg being the main brand in more countries than Tuborg though. Tuborg in Denmark is a brand beer, like say Heineken or Carlsberg here.

Dansk Pilsner is indeed a very cheap beer in Denmark. Nothing like being able to get pissed for nothing in the parks, 30 bottles, "en kasse" and off you go.

 

This is the best one though...

It was fairly nice considering the price we paid for Dansk Pilsner, I will have to test out your recommendation

[RobbieOR]

How much was a bottle of Tuborg in Denmark?

How many of these were actually brewed in the country of origin? I really don't like it when you, for example, buy some 'Jamaican' Red Stripe lager, then read the small print & discover it was brewed under licence in the UK...

[Woo]

Robbie reckoning he's a connoisseur of lager, and he's probably not even legally allowed to drink it. Sun Lik beer is one of the few Chinese beers I like. I've also had a few bottles of this in the Wetherspoons by ours, it comes in the best bottle ever;

 

 

Yep, the bottle is shaped like a motherfucking buddha!

[Remmie]

Tuborg can vary in this country though. There is a really nice 4.6% version, but be wary of the vastly inferior 4.2% one.

 

I got the same set as Cain for my birthday although instead of SunLik I got a Brazilian beer that I haven't had before called...fuck I forgot, it has a blue label and began with P.

 

Can anyone name any French beers? Most that you think are French are actually Belgian. There are some French beers, but not that most people will have heard of.

You're right. 3 and half months and I will be.

I actually thought it was Belgian until a few weeks back. Its made in Strasbourg.

All that suassante sewussante neuffe business gives it away; you can hear the onions hanging around the words.

Wasn't Jan Molby's nickname in the Danish squad Faxe due to his love of the beer?

 

 

They used to sell that in the Asda by ours and some of the Cains pubs in town used to have it on draught, very nice pint actually.

[Anny Road]

I hate to keep re-educating you fuck heads but lager does not exist outside of Czech

they used to do huge cans of Faxe. they were brilliant. the cans looked even bigger in the hands of my housemate 'beadlehands' (named for his unusually small hands of course)

No, that was Arsenal's John Jensen.

 

They still call him it.
