Beer Discussion

In my country, where we have good drinks, Heineken, here, is well-known as jackass piss.

I am from Germany so don't even try to tell me anything about beer. I know the best beers there are. Heineken is more famous here for its style value, not for the taste.

As I said neither him nor you would understand.

The man speaks truth.

I'm Creek Indian and I know what the hell he's talking about. It just takes a set of mind, and a trip to Octoberfest doesn't hurt either.

I'll never drink that much again, everytime I think about it my ass feels sore all over again...

So what beer that is exported into other countries (North America particularly) would you recommend? Sorry for offtop, but had a hard discussion with my friends about that.

I am actually not sure which beers are being exported from Germany. Let me dig up a post about beer I made in the Inner Party forums once.

Beer. I mean I am German, what else did you expect? The more "bitter" (I am not entirely sure what the correct english term here is) the better.

I prefer a bitter Pilsener. A brew originally from the Czech town of Pilsen and brewed after the German Reinheitsgebot. Jever would be one of my favourite choices. It is a north German beer which are usually more bitter.

In southern Germany especially Bavaria they drink the beer we all know from HnH called Weißbier. It is not my favourite beer and actually doesn't fit the slavic and germanic setting of HnH all too well. A Schwarzbier would be more appropriate or the already mentioned Pilsener.

The only non German beers that I really enjoy are from the actual motherland Czechia. Belgian beers are ok too I guess. Those ales and brews the americans have however. Well, let's not talk about it. The most horrible beer I ever had was from Japan I believe.

I enjoy a dry red wine too every once in a while and if it comes to the harder stuff then maybe a whiskey. That said I cut down on my drinking and reduced it almost to 0 over the last 1-2 years.

I got lectured by Sabinati that said microbrews are actually very good, but well I have no way to really verify that. If Jever exports their beer I can definitely recommend that, or maybe a beer from my region called Rolinck, but I doubt they are big enough to export it.

Perhaps not a confirmation but I've been trying a few microbrewed beers to temper my consumption of harder alcohols and, if nothing else, they have rich, strong flavors for what that's worth. Mind you I'm still a child at heart who loves his honey beers over darker drafts but their appeal definitely lies in their taste. Mass produced beer all tastes like watered down piss to me; almost flavorless with a mildly unpleasant after taste that follows it.

i've never seen either in stores. we have warsteiner, spaten, pilsner urquel, beck's, st. pauli girl, paulaner, hacker-pschorr and probably some others that i forget.
