I’m a Killian’s drinker.UOTE]
I used to be one… and only drank it once, didn’t recycle. I really liked the original Killian’s red ale but you can’t get it any more. The red lager isn’t nearly as good and I never really took to the brown ale. The red ale had a roasted grain taste I really liked.
Ferret, you’re almost on the money - Maudite is great, great stuff. But I prefer la Fin du Monde - another Unibroue creation. It’s heavenly.
Fuck that. The beers of the Alsace-Lorraine district are just fine, thank you…hell, the place has been Germany for half of history. Kronenbourg 1664, the top-selling biere in France, is great stuff. They also drink a lotta tasty Stella Artois in Paris, but that’s from Belgium.
English wine, though, he’s got a point. Is there any indigenous English wine? They’ve been importing their clarets from France and their sherries from Spain since the Empire was young.
Mmm, must try that then. I had to pick one at the time, and grabbed Maudite.
Shweeeet!
Ahh, memories! Stella is the hometown brew in Leuven/Louvain and I quaffed many of them while at K.U.L.
Interestingly, Ohio unpuckered the sphincter in its alcoholic beverage group, recently, and I have seen Stella on store shelves quite a bit this summer. (The State of Ohio controls all alcoholic beverages entering the state by brand and bottle, not just by category.) I’m not as big a fan of lagers and pilseners as I am the heavier stuff, but Stella was a pretty good brew–and I found that it still is 32 years later.
Hell no! I don’t drink any sort of light or lite beers. I like red beers, dark beers, bock, or good old fashioned draft beers. I want something that tastes great and IS filling.
I’m not sure if others have noticed, but at 5.59 and 6.59 pm, Really Not All That Bright and Ferret Herder responded to a post that I apparently made some time later, at 8.45 pm today. Interesting how time goes backards when you are talking about beer.
Hmmm. This happened in another thread .
Somethins’ fishy at the SDMB.
I don’t think the girl was Dutch or even supposed to be Dutch. I thought that it was an American bar but the bartender had an accent (seems to me they were going for German. You know, Germany is a nation notorious for beer and many big American breweries seem to have an inferiority complex that makes them want to insult Germans and German beers all the time.)
If it was a bar in another county, it sure didn’t seem very Dutch.
Another thing: seems to me when the Dutch want a good beer they don’t reach for a Sam Adams, but they don’t order a Heineken, Grolsch or Oranjeboom either. In my experience the discriminating Dutch beer drinker chooses a Belgian beer.
Yeah. It’s weird-- whenever Americans try to portray a Dutch accent it comes out sounding Russian (I specifically remember an episode of Friends where I laughed out loud-- not at their oh-so-clever jokes, but because the hot “Dutch” girl on the show sounded Russian).
I do too, although I HATE beer, and it tends to send up a red flag to me the minute a guy asks for a drink. It’s certainly NOT that a man’s choice of drink increases his hot, or hipness factor though. I’m on alert from the second he orders something alcoholic on for signs of potential drunken couch potato. If he orders a more “sophisticated” drink or beer, I feel a bit more relaxed about it (though I’m still on alert until I am confident he truly IS just a social drinker).
In my dating experiences, the men who drink the more expensive or “fancy” beers or drinks do seem to be the ones who only have one once in a while and then generally with a meal, or the ones who just have a few on a weekend once in a while. The budweiser etc. drinkers seem to be the ones who’ll suck down a six pack without even blinking.
The above is most likely due to having been married to an alcoholic and NOT to whether I truly attach any attractiveness to a man’s drink choices.
Later forgot subjects due to sandwhich. Perhaps their was motor oil in it. Dumb McDs.
Sterile Tortoise? Tasty? Blech. Only Heineken is nastier of the mass produced European beers I’ve had. I’ll take a Bud over it any day of the week. Kronenberg is pretty decent, though.
Too bad she didn’t say “What the hell is that thing? It looks like a baby’s arm with an apple clenched in it’s fist!”
