Lagers of the World

[Vincent Vega]

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)

 

Yeah, they were 1 litre cans weren't they?

 

No, that was Arsenal's John Jensen.

 

They still call him it.

 

Must be getting confused, coulda swore I read that about big Jan, but now you mention Jensen that definitely rings a bell. He was pretty fond of the party lifestyle in his day though, and I'm sure he enjoyed the occasional Faxe being a Dane and all.

Kronenbourg

Damn lying Belgians told me it was Belgian. Belgium!

[Anny Road]

I'd rather fuck a frog than a belgian. Hear me now.

Singha Beer-Thailand

 

Of course you can get it over here now, but you cant beat a cold Singha in a small hut after an hour trek sitting on top of an elephant in the jungle.

 

Happy Memories, a rather nice beer too.

[DJLJ]

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.

 

The 4.6% would most likely be Danish brewed. Most, if not all, normal danish lagers would be 4.6%. 4.0%, 4.2% etc. would the the stuff that is brewed abroad.

I like lager. There's a time and place for it. Mainly when it's hot & sweaty but generally it tastes like piss and is aimed at gays and kids with underdeeveloped tastew buds.

Exception being when youy're abroad. San Miguel, Tiger, Singha, Beerlao, Budvar...mmmm

Good stuff

[Remmie]

I like loads of different types of beer, I can't understand how people stick to the same one in a drinking session. Mix that shit up. Ales, Weissbiers, Lagers, Pils, Bitters, Stouts all good, try them all!

[Carradona]

Asahi was the best (5 percent alco)

 

Tuborg was 2nd best ( Zebedee it was the 4.6% one....legend)

 

San Miguel was the 3rd best.

 

Sun Lik was fucking horrrible,. i honestly thought it tasted like puke.

[Lucky Pierre]

You no what, I'm really into 'Desperados' at the moment. A lager with a bit of tequila flavour. Tastes really citrus-ey.

[Remmie]

We should turn this thread into a large list of beers by country so that we know about as many beers as possible. When at uni we collected as many different beers as we could from differing countries, a top hhhhhhhhhobby. Preferably each beer should get a rating too.

 

Add to the list:

 

Australia

• Fosters - 1/5 horendi
  
• Emu
  
• Castlemaine XXXX - 1/5
  
• Tooheys
  
• Victoria Bitter - 3.5/5
  

 

Jamaica

• Carib - 3.5/5 like Sol/Corona/Brahma
  
• Red Stripe - 3.5/5
  
• Jamaican Stout - 4.5/5
  
• 3 Legends - 4/5

Yea, that's a good shout. Was in Lago and Heebies last night and that's what we were all drinking (£2.60 a bottle).

[Lucky Pierre]

Lago was where I first tried them too, I was surprised how cheap they were.

They were doing that at Leeds this year (not at that price though!) and I thought it was really nice. A lot better than Carling (the old sponsors).
