| Jul-07-11 | | TheFocus: In my hometown it is perfectly legal to get drunk in a beer joint, then go to a fancy restaurant and beat the living daylights out of the wine sommelier. This is the same reason why the Germans invaded France in WWII. Just to kick the asses of the snooty, wine-slurping Frenchmen. |
|
| Jul-07-11 | | TheFocus: Is it so difficult to make a good beer gravy? |
|
| Jul-07-11 | | TheFocus: I like to attend AA meetings just to heckle the people giving testimonies. I like to say things like: "Bravo! Buddy, I'd like to buy you a beer!"
"Yeah! I'll drink to that!"
"Sir, I want to thank you for that inspirational testimony. I see you have a young lady with you. Is that your wife? It is? Well, sir, I can see why you began drinking in the first place." |
|
| Jul-07-11 | | TheFocus: I have never successfully made a beer sandwich. |
|
| Jul-07-11 | | NakoSonorense: Breaking a streak is reason for a beer. |
|
| Jul-07-11 | | TheFocus: <NakoSonorense> I stopped posting in order to drink beer. Beer = liquid, golden sunshine. |
|
| Jul-07-11 | | JoergWalter: <TheFocus: <NakoSonorense> I stopped posting in order to drink beer.> did you do all the posting before without having a cold one? :-) |
|
| Jul-07-11 | | JoergWalter: <NakoSonorense: Breaking a streak is reason for a beer.> not breaking a streak is a reason for another one. |
|
| Jul-07-11 | | TheFocus: <JoergWalter> <did you do all the posting before without having a cold one?> I typed them all out after drinking.
Then I brought them in and posted them all at once. |
|
| Jul-07-11 | | edbermac: Depends on the beer.
In the immortal words of Frank Booth in Blue Velvet:
"Budweiser??!?! F*** that s***!!! PABST BLUE RIBBON!!" http://www.lynchnet.com/bv/pics/bv0... |
|
| Jul-07-11 | | JoergWalter: <TheFocus> I was a bit worried but now I'm happy to see that you have straight priorities. |
|
| Jul-07-11 | | JoergWalter: <edbermac> In germany we call the Budweiser (the US stuff) s**t with water. But availability is all that counts in a case of emergency. |
|
| Jul-07-11 | | Akavall: I hope people will start calling the original Budweiser (the good stuff, the Czech stuff) by it's name again. And the US stuff could be renamed to <s**t with water>. |
|
| Jul-07-11 | | Pyke: <JoergWalter: <edbermac> In germany we call the Budweiser (the US stuff) s**t with water. But availability is all that counts in a case of emergency.> What's your favourite? North or South? I prefer a Jever or a Holsten .... |
|
| Jul-07-11 | | JoergWalter: <Akavall> there is an interesting story i heard from a friend (he is a lawyer): The Budweiser from Czech was sueing Anheuser_Busch for using the name Budweiser. The judge asked for a glass of US Budweiser and a glass of the original Budweiser and ruled out that Anheuser-Busch can use the name. His reason was that the US stuff was so bad that nobody would ever take it for the original. |
|
| Jul-07-11 | | Akavall: <JoergWalter> LoL! |
|
| Jul-07-11 | | JoergWalter: <Pyke> my favourite is the one I'm brewing myself (actually a dutch recipe not according to german law-anyway 8% of alcohol is a good compensation). Since it takes a couple of weeks before it becomes drinkable I help myself with one of the following:
Hövels Bitter (a traditional dark beer from Dortmund), Franziskaner or Salvator (from Bavaria), Einbecker Bock from the north of germany. However, we have about 5,000 Beers on the market. Stay away from Holsten, I had it in my time in the army. We called it "telephone" beer. Rang you up every 5 minutes to dispose it properly. Jever is fine for me but some find it bitter because of the hop. |

| Jul-07-11 | | Akavall: <Franziskaner>!
I had that just now, however..
Every time I open a bottle of German beer I like to pretend..."ahh this is what Germans drink!". This is true in a sense, some Germans do drink bottled beer, which is probably about the same as what I am about to drink. However, most of German beer is probably consumed in bars or restaurants where fresh beer is served on tap, which I am sure tastes quite different (better!), than what I am drinking out of a bottle. => You can't just get German beer quality by buying proper brands, you have to go there. |
|
| Jul-08-11 | | JoergWalter: <Akavall> Franzikaner on tap is hard to get outside bavaria. If you are in the US be sure even the bottled beer from germany is different from ours here (like cars etc.) as the US regulations want it pasteurized, expiration date in a million years from now and drinkable after the next nuclear war. My brother works at the Warsteiner brewery and he told me that the US export is brewed to the US specifications in Paderborn not in Warstein. |

 | | HeMateMe: What would be the alcohol content of that beer, local German beers in general? I like St. Pauli Girl, but somehow I don't think its the same beer they drink in Bremen. |
|
| Jul-08-11 | | JoergWalter: <HeMateMe> 4,8% of alcohol is pretty much the standard. Never had a St Pauli Girl (I mean the beer, not the hookers in the redlight district, which St Pauli is famous for). Whether it is the same stuff they have in Hamburg I don't know because it may be a matter of import regulations in your country. |
