BEER!

american beer is like sex in a canoe... its fucking close to water

You aren't looking hard enough! That's like saying american metal sucks because Korn is shit.

I work at Rogue Ales, a fairly large craft brewery in Oregon, and they win gold medals in Beer contests all over the world. Their most famous product is Dead Guy, which admittedly is a German style beer, but what true beer isn't directly inspired by some sort of European formula?

My fave right now though is the Yellow Snow IPA. Yum.

Hahaha, yeah, I remember my parents buying some of those and my Mom getting a chuckle out of "Sweaty Betty" :lol: Seems a pretty sweet gig you have dude!
 
All I know is I'm counting down the days until I leave for London later this month, where I can finally get some more Kilkenny!

My girlfriend went there over her spring break... be warned that everything is fucking expensive. She intended to bring back trinkets and toys for everyone, some more clothing for herself, and some tobacco products for me... went out drinking a couple of nights and couldn't afford anything at all after that.

Aye, I was worried, until the Pound dropped like Rod Blagojevich's political future a few months ago! Back when she went, it would've been about a 2:1 £:$ ratio, whereas now it's 1.48:1!
 
My fourteenth Carlsberg tonight, tastes all right, but NEVER "probably the best beer in the world" ! Never.. tastes like shit compared to real beer like Hansa, Holstein, Urquel, Slots Guld or Velkopopovický Kozel Dark... as much the best beer in the world as In Flames is "probably the best band in the world" FFS!

Dude his analogy about sex in a canoe is damn near the most brilliant analogy i've ever heard, even though i don't agree with it! it's hilarious!

anyway, +1 on rogue dead guy ale being amazing. that beer is so good but it's like a little over $2 a bottle here in UT. i hardly drink it because of that.

and WTF is up with the name YELLOW SNOW. that's terrible haha! IPA is damn good though.
 
Fransizkaner Weissbier (Germans, please don't kill me for butchering the name)


Dude...you have a good taste :kickass: Change the z with the s...then you have Franziskaner Weissbier :)

Another great Beer really is the south german ROTHAUS "Tannenzäpfle" ! Becks is very good, too..but ROTHAUS is even better :rock: North germans..don´t kill me :lol:
 
Does anyone like Newcastle? It's widely exported so I have a feeling that everyone is gonna start flaming it, but I actually think it's pretty good...easy to drink and a pleasant flavor. +1 to the Franziskaner Weissbier.

Cheers dude, thanks for the clarification. :rock:

I can't wait to come back to Europe. Last time I was there, I only spent a day or so in Koln sadly. I did, however, travel to Brussels and had some amazing beer!

I am most likely coming back in late September/October to meet up with a Dutch friend of mine. I'm really hoping to hit up Oktoberfest.

:):)

I just want to say this to you guys here who don't drink beer: Beer is the fuel that drives metal forward!
And the only people who drink dark beer is upper class a-holes!

Now the beer you should drink should be mixed in your own bathtub, don't clean it before you start brewing, because it gives that extra "BASH!" that you want to it.
When its smells like a yeast infected groin, its ready!

HAPPY DRINKING!

you mean brown ale? i love the stuff, nothing to do with the fact im also from the NE of england :D preffer black sheep stuff though. i regularly drink it on a nite out! can get a bit heavy after 10 or so bottles though :Puke: :kickass:
 
Any of you dudes try smoked beer?? A buddy of mine had some German smoked beer last weekend. I tried some. Very unique to say the least! Kind of like beef jerky/beer, haha! It wasn't horrible, but I don't think I would drink it all the time.

If any of you Germans are ever in NYC, hit me up, we can go to a kick-ass beer garden owned by some Bavarian dude. Excellent beer and food!

newcastle is awesome...i love to pound that shit by the pitcher when i go out

bass ale is also pretty good on tap, and doesn't have as much of the aftertaste that newcastle does

also, if anyone here is from central/southern CA, you better be drinking some goddamned FIRESTONE...that shit's the best beer that has ever passed by my lips - especially the pale ale
