I had to share this one...

During a major International Beer Brewers Conference, a few of the
attendees decided to step out for a few beers.
Once at the local pub, the rep for Budweiser orders a Bud.
The rep for Miller orders a Miller.
The rep for Coors orders a Coors
The rep for Heineken orders a Coke.
When asked why he ordered a Coke, he replied:
"well, you guys weren't going to be drinking beer, so I decided I
wouldn't either.

I'd rather have a Coke than a Heineken. Heineken is about 5% better (IMO)
than the large brand American lagers, and that isn't saying much. If you
have to have a pilsner, have a Pilsner Urquell. I stick with stouts myself.

I don't know if things have changed, but when I was in Germany the
only time the Germans would drink Heineken was during Oktoberfest. When
they'd ran out of every other kind of beer.

I used to drink "green hornets" during happy hour. Because they
cost a dime, and I coult think about all the people in the States paying
maybe $1.75-2.00 for one. Then after happy hour, I'd switch back to
German brew. The dark is better than the light. Phillippine brew is
good.

I don't drink Heineken either...it tastes skunky to me.
My preference in order:
Grolsch
Sleeman's Honey Brown
Alexander Keith's

But I'd rather drink Heineken than VB or Foster's. That Aussie beer has
something wrong with it. I drank a flat (24) with a ladyfriend over
there and I got a bit spinny....

There's a reason those countries label tbe beer they export -
export beer. They don't consider it worth drinking themselves.

Good point. When in Oz, the guys I partied with, would never drink
Fosters. "We don't drink that rot over here, mate. We ship that crappola
overseas!"
But they drank that VB...*shudder*

Funny how beer snobbery is regional. When I was in Northern Territories of
Australia in the 60's "real men" would only drink "Swan Lager"; in London
shortly thereafter it was "Watney's Red Barrel"; and when in Yorkshire this
past summer, apparently the only beer a "real man" would dare drink was
"Ward's" ... all good beers.

My SIL, a 14 stone Yorkshire rugby player, and not overly fond of 'yanks'
despite the fact that he married one, acted surprised that I liked "Wards".
I offered him, only half-jokingly, the opportunity to try and kick my ass if
he thought there was any doubt I was serious (we'd had a more than a few
Ward's by then) ... he declined.

Good to know my daughter picked an intelligent individual to father my
grandkids.

I can go a Newcastle Brown now and then.
I have the odd Guiness as well.
I got pleasantly sauced in UK many times. One time, in April, there was
a limited edition draught called Watney's Winter Warmer. That was very
interesting. I remember trying to re-write the Magna Carta...
As I said.. the best beer is the next beer.

I agree- Heineken is some skunky stuff. Personally, I like Bass Ale
when I do drink (not so often these days)

I've actually increased my drinking lately - from one drink a day (wine
with a meal) to two (a shot of Scotch in my tea). When warm weather
gets here I'll replace the Scotch with stout :-).

Lots less than I drank in my younger days, but now they say a little
alcohol is good for you (2 a day for men, 1 for women).

It's not often something pleasant to drink is declared good for you. I
really hate 1% and skim milk :-).

I practice rather a strict ritual regarding liquids entering my body
that I describe as "THE TEMPLE".

From the time I get up in the morning until noon, it is black coffee.

From noon until 5:00 PM, it is skim milk. (Butter fat I don't need)

After 5:00 PM, it is either beer or single malt scotch with or without
Drambuie. (I love "Rusty Nails", "Bloomer Dropers" or "Knuckle Heads"
which are all names for the same thing)

You will see that nowhere will you find what I call "Whale Juice", AKA:
Sugar water with carbonation.

If it works for you, you are welcome to use it.

If it doesn't.....

Ayup. Friend of mine from church is a pathologist. He says they never, *ever*
see coronary artery disease in alcoholics -- do a post on a 70-year-old
alcoholic, and his heart looks like a teenager's. However, the liver, spleen,
kidneys, and brain are a different story.

Since we are talking about "thinkin' fluid"....
Try Spaten Optimator.
Man can live on beer alone, as long as it's thick and dark.
I can't promise any weight loss on the Hydraulic Diet, but it sure
tastes good.
Spaten has been in the brew biz since the 14th century, they have had a
lot of practice.

I don't want to wash the sawdust down after a hard day with a beer they
serve by the slice g. Particularly at room temperature. Time and
place for everything, though, right?
