@Amanda: Try Andechser Doppelbock Dunkel, should you be able to get your hands on a bottle.

I want to laugh at you Bud drinkers,

While Amanda didn't state if it was US Budweiser or original Czech Budweiser - a very big difference

btw. Guiness, which is good when brewed in Ireland and not so good when brewed elsewhere - i think there are only very few pubs outside Ireland where you can get the real irish ...

@Granger

jajaja - very very tasty - but i guess Amanda better should sip a bit only - hangover danger is big with Doppelbocks

I suggested a bottle, not a crate

Don't worry Borka, I very rarely allow myself to get more than 'merry'.

The description sounds divine Granger, I especially like the 'lingering aftertaste of quality plain chocolate' -
I will see if I can find it, thank you.

Oh ... and Borka, it was the U.S Bud. In what way does the Czech one differ?

speaking of beer...

Japanese beverage maker Asahi Group Holdings Ltd will submit a bid as early as next week to buy SABMiller PLC's (SAB.L) Grolsch and Peroni beer brands for as much as 400 billion yen ($3.41 billion), the daily Yomiuri reported.

If accepted, it would be the biggest overseas beverage acquisition ever by a Japanese company, topping Kirin Holdings Co Ltd's $3.3 billion takeover of Australia's Lion Nathan in 2009, the paper said.

That's been in the rumor mill for a few months now. I'm not sure if it's a good or bad thing, as I haven't really been watching the brewing business closely. Sometimes a buyout is because a company is in trouble, sometimes it's because they expect bigger things with the merger. Miller does make some decent mass-market beers that could do more world-wide.

Dark beers from the Czech Republic. Craft stouts from the USA.

Neither of which tastes any good by the time it gets to Australia, but I enjoyed them in their local countries. So I stick to spiced rums for now. Mixers are for girls (it has to be a decent rum though).

if you have a problem with alcohol, get help. It can be good for you

Seriously? That's like saying cigarettes build strong and healthy lungs.
