Im pretty sure that he's German. And he is a man of refined tastes. I like a good smoked Marzen or Kellerbier, personally - the heavier German beers. But Becks has a really nice and refreshing way about it that is also perfect with a lot of foods. Ill grab some in the summer. Also that already mentioned wheat beer that I wont try and spell, lol, with a lemon wedge. As for me today, I just bought some 'buck a beers' and saw some nice butts while I was at it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Every society, no matter how brilliant at brewery, seems to have crappy mass produced lagers that they sell to the rest of the world, and which give you the shits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except for Belgium. I can't think of a mass-exported Belgian beer that's crap. I mean... Duvel, Palm, Leffe, Hoegaarden... some are better than others, but not a single one is crap.. Maybe Stella? But even that will basically do. Edit: I remembered Jupiler. Your theory stands. Edited December 11, 2018 by username Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvanG Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Jupiler isn't bad, and neither is Beck's. But I prefer Warsteiner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Len Cnut Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Is Stella crap then? I mean on the beer scale of things? Buggered if I know, it's my go to as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is alright I suppose. It is probably a cut above your Carlsbergs and Fosters crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len Cnut Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 (edited) I dunno how yous all clock so much difference in beers. I can tell a bit but not much. The crap ones to me are like what Dies' just mentioned Carlsberg, Fosters...Budweiser is another. The only way I can describe their crap-ness is that they taste sort of, well, watery. Insubstantial. Thats my two categories, watery and the good stuff. The watery stuff tends to feel less alcoholey Edited December 11, 2018 by Len Cnut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasted Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I’ve just found that it’s easier to drink 10 Carlsbergs or Buds. Even Stella gets a bit bitter. Can 7 is where watery beer starts to pay off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say it's an average pilsener. Personal opinion. Definitely better than Jupiler or Heineken for that matter. The latter being the most overrated pilsener of all time.

soon Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I achieved lift off last night. Got some new weed in the mail, and made an excellent blend. Wow. Even the buck-a-beer blonde lager tasted good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if it's overrated because I have never heard anyone talk about how great it is. It's not my favourite either, but I don't consider it as crap as some do. It's average... but it happens to be a very average well known beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len Cnut Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 (edited) So whats good then? Thats readily available in the shops? Grolsch I quite like. Grolsch was my go to for ages but it changed to Stella as a matter of convenience cuz Stella is pretty much everywhere.

Ditch all of the foreign muck and switch to English real ales: Speckled Hen, Hobgoblin, Ruddles, Doom, London Pride and Marston's are the most famous but try the smaller breweries also. Just try them and find one you like. You can get quite a few of the more famous real ales in bottles. Admittedly Ruddles is a bit ''old geezerish'' as they sell it for £1.80 per pint in the 'Spoons up north, so the old men ''gaan tu 'Spoons for the day'' and spend their pensions. Marston's is nice. I drink that at the cricket. It is a pleasant summer pint, light and golden - a bit too light for the winter perhaps? Hobgoblin is nice but strong. Try the English stouts also.

soon Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 This comes to mind as one of my favorite English brews that I've tried: Not really priced to be a 'go to' beer though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
