Title: strong beer ? wtf ???
Post by: straffo on July 17, 2004, 05:05:28 PM: I had just opened my beer when being bored I started to read on the back of the bottle ...
Nothing fancy in the French version , German is pretty similar but the Canadian text is :
Strong beer flavored with tequila

What kind of piss you usualy drink to find a 5.9% beer strong ??

Starting at 8% you can find strong beer but at 5.9% no way ...

Boycott canada !

Post by: beet1e on July 17, 2004, 06:02:48 PM: Eek, Frédéric - 5% is plenty strong enough for me - I like to drink a lot - ie English pints (.57 litre) - not those wussie 25cl beers you have! ;) I have to drink those fast - before they evaporate! :lol

Coming to France again soon - Reims. Looking forward to drinking Kronenbourg 1664 and Pelforth Blonde - and champagne of course!

Post by: rpm on July 17, 2004, 10:02:00 PM: I think I can sum this up pretty quick. Not sure what you were drinking but it sounds like Tequiza or somthing similar. In the US most of those "flavored" beers are classified as "malt beverage" or "flavored beer". Because they are fortified with spirits or flavors after the brewing process, the FDA will not let them call it beer. I'm sure this is the same circumstance with the Canadians, they just call that class "Strong Beer".

Fred was created to honor beer writer and historian Fred Eckhardt. This golden strong ale incorporates ten hop varieties from five different countries. Through the use of aromatic and rye malt, the beer achieves a unique balance of flavor. We hope that Fred will inspire you to share your knowledge with others as Fred has with us. Fred is 10% alcohol by volume.

Hair Of The Dog Brewery (http://www.hairofthedog.com/beers.html)

Brewed in good ol' Portland, Oregon USA!

Have to agree. Canada's beer has a slightly higher alcohol content, but I really don't see much difference. Molson and Labatts etc. suck.

But why the hell is a frenchman talking about beer? The only beer I've dranken there turned out to be imported. So bite me Straffo. :D

Post by: Dinger on July 18, 2004, 01:44:51 AM: Yeah, in all fairness, Kronenbourg, 1664, Jenlain, Pelforth and heck, even their Belgicizing brews up north, just aren't competitive on the world market. On the other hand, I can think of five regions of France that produce some of the finest wines around.

So yeah, leave the nitpicking on beer to your belgian neighbours. Our Budweiser isn't much pissier than your Kronenbourg. And your Pere Patriarch gives our Gallo California Rhine a run for its rotgut.

And guinness matters a lot where it's brewed. In the US, Guinness reminds me a lot of saltwater taffee.

Is Dublin a former British Colony? I always believed that area to be beyond the Pale.

Post by: Curval on July 18, 2004, 07:34:07 AM: This British colony produced a rum that the FDBs were unable to finnish a bottle of....with a whole lot of help from Urchin and a few others...during a Con.

Here I thought being FDBs they could drink....apparently not.

:p ;)
