I prefer danish beers, Carlsberg is very good, but I get extremely hung over on it. Even if I haven't had that many. No idea why. Tuborg is also very good though, and is what I usually drink when out. When just having a cold one at home, I go for the norwegian non-alcoholic Munkholm. Yes non-alcoholic. It tastes like a cold beer should, and I don't have to worry about driving after having had one.
A couple of weeks ago Porsgrunn's annual beer festival was held. And like a good citizen of Porsgrunn I attend every year. :) It's not actually much of a festival, more an enclosed area of the town with lots of beer stands selling beers you don't normally see around here. Most people treat the festival as an excuse to get wasted on something other than the stuff they usually get wasted on.
Among my hazy recollections of this year's event, I do remember getting my hands on something I think was called Greenwhich Brown. It may have been called something else but similar sounding though. Anyway, that the people of Britain drink enough of this stuff that it survives as a label kind of worries me. But not nearly as much as the thought of what else do the british people drink that make this stuff seem not so bad!?
I also remember getting something I don't remember the name of other than it was kind of witchy sounding and had a scarecrow on the label. It definitely seemed british as well. It didn't actually taste so bad, but you had to chew each mouthful fifteen times before you could swallow. I was full before I was halfway through the bottle.
That's all that left an impression this year really. Or enough of an impression that it remained with me after the weekend was over. ;)
Usually badly made copies of Carlsberg, Stella Artois etc. If it was called GreenwichQuote:

Proper Brown Ale is quite nice. I've sometimes drunk that when I've spotted it in a pub.
Out of choice I always go for Guinnes Extra Cold, or Murphys. But also like Cider and some beers. Beer is definitely the best when it is a very hot day. A couple of bottles of Cobra with a BBQ is great.
During some years I only drank Cider, but here you can only get a handful of different brands, mostly you get Strongbow, but that's Ok, it tastes great.
I don't like Strongbow the most. I prefer Balmers or Magners. There is also a local cider called Merrydown which is very nice.
I wouldn't nominate best reply. That's just silly. Awards should go to best topics. :hmmm:Quote:
...or best reply this month?
Silly?
Why?
Well, anyone can make a good reply, but it takes a smart individual to create a good thread. The guest shouldn't get all the credit in someone else's house! :huh2:
I don't think everyone can make a good reply. Look at me for example. Over 2000 posts and I've never won. Oh the shame :dry: :pQuote:

Unfortunatly being Australian means your just not funny or incitefull so you have no hope in hell. It's not your fault it's because your country has so much sun, beautiful beaches and your wildlife is either deadly or wierd you don't have any need to be funny. Unless V85 and I finally realise how much we love each other and elope to the Carribean to get married and the rest of the members of the site are struck down with RSI you're going to fell shame for a loooooonnnnnnnngggggggggg time.;)
No it isn't.Quote:
