Yowzer!
Absinthe is nasty... Try to take 4-5 shots inna row - you will end up on the floor.
Stroh 80 as well. At our matric farewell (prom for the americans) we checked to see who could drink the most of this horrible stuff (neat). Me and 2 other buddies ended up spewing together. Aah, nothing like a little male bonding eh? 😉

You're more man than me.
Went to a party once, the girls' parents were out of town.
Her dad had this great bar with loads of different 'mampoer' (a fruit liquor that is made by lots of people here). The last thing I remember was my buddy pouring pints of pineapple and pear mampoer...
I woke up at a unknown house with wet jeans (don't ask...)
Definitely 'Lager Top'.
Some people get a near pint of lager, but then top it up with lemonade. It makes the whole thing taste sweet – and I just hate it. If there is mix up on a round, and I pick up the wrong pint, I can smell the lemonade in the beer way before it gets close to my mouth, fortunately. But the thing that baffles me, why do people even drink this in the first place? Drivers can often justify drinking a shandy, but this stuff?

Originally posted by DreamlaXDuring the dark ages of American brewing (pre-1980s) this was very true. The major American breweries were horrible. It was a disgrace to even call their product "beer". But since that time American brewing has been undergoing a veritable renaissance, thanks to the proliferation of microbreweries. It is now possible to buy many top quality beers form the various microbreweries around the country.
I once heard a joke about American beer.
"American beer is like having sex in a canoe. It's ****** close to water!"
I had an opportunity to experience this to its fullest last Saturday at the Michigan Brewers Guild Beer Festival in nearby Ypsilanti, Michigan. There are about 20 microbreweries in Michigan alone, which produce many fine beers. Stouts, Porters, Reds, Ales, Wheat beers, Barley wines, and many other exotic concoctions were all available for sample. My favorite was the King's Mocha Java Stout, brewed in Pontiac, Michigan.

Number one must be Budweiser ... coming from the low countries where brewing beer has become an art, its sacrilege to even call Budweiser beer in the first place .... or Heineken for that matter.
Originally posted by elvendreamgirlI can't believe Budweisers latest advertising ploy. They are saying that the 'younger' the beer is the better it tastes. Obviously they've worked out that their turnover is faster than the competetion because now every bottle has a 'born by date' printed on it.

Does beer in a sealed bottle go off over a period of a few months? I doubt it. The demonstration the gave at the brewery to 'prove' that young beer is better was a taste test between Bud made that day v's 3 week old Bud, but then they let it slip that the 3 week old Bud had been kept at elevated temperatures and for all I know in an open bottle.
Originally posted by belgianfreakThe only reason Budweiser would need an expiration date is because nobody in their right mind would ever drink it. Good beers don't sit around that long at my place.

The ad campaign of theirs that really irked me was the one with the slogan "Maybe it's the rice" from several years ago. I was astounded that they would try to pass off what is a cut rate filler in their product as a virtue. Budweiser must know that their customers are complete idiots when they can insult their intelligence at will and get away with it.
