Hmmm... not a word on Japanese beers yet? I tried Kirin, Asashi, Sapporo they were nice, but I haven't found anything with a bit more spice in it.

Hey Nilsen, my "everyday" beer is Tuborg here in Luxemburg (the local "Bofferding" is terrible).

That being said... I'm going to spend my day in "Ciney" today... there's a monastery over there that brews a fine beer too. Excpect some slurred posts when I come back :D

Because of a "beer war" between the largest food chains here, Tuborg is the cheapest beer that one of them offers :) Its good, but i used to drink so much of it when i was young that im fedup with it now im afraid....same with Carlsberg.

Im meeting with a couple of crewmembers form the boat i served with in the navy tonight and we are gonna get drunk the way only sailors can :D Bought a case of beer and 3 bottles of rum....maybe ill take some pictures and post em.

Mate of mine was telling me about a beer they used to get in Vietnam that had opium in it....think he said it was called Mekong Bitter or something.
Not suprisingly, he reckons the stuff was liquid dynamite, garaunteed to lay you out cold for the duration.

Any Vietnam vets, or tourists who have been there, or indeed Vietnamese AHers.....is there such a beer, or was my leg being firmly pulled?

Saint Arnold Christmas Ale and Lawnmower are great when available.


RPM if ya run short of St. Arnies, give me a shout.  (I was under the impression that Fat Tire was just relabled Busch j/k  ;) )

I'm a fan of Kirin Ichiban (as opposed to regular Kirin Lager) but by and large I'm not a big fan of Japanese Beers. I mostly drink them for nastolgic purposes, to transport me back to Japan :)

As for Camelot, I've been there once. Coming from California, with there "no bever and booze in the same club" laws, I was caught off guard lol.

I love how it is somewhat implied that the type of beer you drink-----darker / stronger / bolder / more alcohol / implies your level of manhood.  With this, too many microbrewery's have completely taken to the trend and over malted / hopped their beers, and if you didn't like it, well, you were not a man.  Now don't get me wrong, when done right they are outstanding. It is too easy to mask a bad beer.

I asked our local brewmaster which beer he was most proud of and his reply was his light beer clone ( every microbrewery will have the light / pilsner style beer for those people who walk in and ask for a bud light) his reason was that there was little room for error. It is so crisp and clean.

Now don't get me wrong, i love dark beer.  In my opinion Guinness is the best beer on the planet.  Just my opinion on a trend.

Asashi is an excellent beer imo, easily one of the best...great for a real hot day and a barbie....but the problem is it's too bloody expensive here...

Howdy all,

We are lucky enough to have the "Thirsty Dog Brewing Company" not far from here. It's a small company and all of the beers have a dog theme. By far my favorite so far is...
"Old Leg Humper"

and there we have it. my 1st post with my new name... I'm the same old "goaly" but spelled with a "zero". I forgot my original password many beers ago. See ya in the fall when the days are shorter, and the fish stop biting.
My password at work had to contain exactly 8 characters… I chose Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

America makes beer?  Gimme a Guinness, Harp, Red Stripe, Bass or Newcastle.   THAT my friends is beer.  In a pinch I go for Labatt or Molson. Light beer is for pu$$ies.
