Beers Around The World

[zanbashi05]

i dont really drink a lot of beer, but the best beer i have drank was in amsterdam, on a boat cruising by the river, holding a bottle of holland's own brew HEINEKEN

[Mike Chester]

Best beer for me, Heineken, Stella Artois, Budweiser, Baltika#5, and of course SAN MIG LIGHT!!

o di ba, pasok na pasok sa travel and cuisine ang topic.

 

anywhere i go in the world,  i always make it a point to try out the local food and the local beer.

i'm no connoiseur but i feel it helps me have a clearer understanding of the local culture.

what beers from which places have you tried and what do you think of them?

 

Thailand - Singha beer and the locally brewed Heineken...both are ok, medyo matapang ang singha. ice cold, it is a perfect partner to all the spicy thai dishes.

 

Hongkong- Tsingtao, carlsberg, san miguel....ok naman...the san miguel of course tastes different

 

Cambodia- Ankor beer tapos meron din silang Anchor beer. para siguro yung SMB at Beer na Beer dito sa atin. pareho lang naman ang lasa.  masarap....also goes well with cambodian food....

 

Netherlands- Amstel beer, Heineken, Grolsh....they say amstel is brewed using water straight from the amstel river or mga heineken employees lang ang nagsasabi nun?  honestly i thought heineken a little too overrated after trying it there.  I think Grolsh is, by far, the best commercial beer i have ever tried.....

 

Germany-sadly wasn't able to try much at the the beer capital of the world.  just a few from some microbreweries which were sooooooo gooooood.....also tried Poulaner beer pala. ok din

 

UK-Boddington's.....oh yeah. nothing like a pint of boddington's in an authentic english pub.

 

Mexico-Corona and Dos Equis....not too sure if dos equis is brewed in mexico or in another south american country, anyone care to enlighten me?  but i like it better than corona.....i can wolf down a lot of corn tortilla soft tacos with a cold bottle of this....

 

USA....tried a lot of them like Miller, Coors, Budweiser, Beck's, and a lot more i can't remember....for a country that drinks a lot of it, their beers are not really that spectacular.....sabi nga, they're all the same, just piss-colored water s'all.....give me a san mig pale pilsen any day......

 

In Italy and France it is all wine so i did not get to try any beer while i was in those places. parang tubig lang ang wine dun eh...

any of you guys tried Mississippi Mudd, it's like a brown ale beer. If you can get your hands on some, try it. It's really good. They got over at Trader Joe's.

And saving the best for last, as explained by

Cliff Clavin, of Cheers.

One afternoon at Cheers, Cliff Clavin was

explaining the Buffalo Theory to his buddy Norm.

 

Here's how it went:

"Well ya see, Norm, it's like this...

A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest

buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the

slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first.

 

This natural selection is good for the herd as a

whole, because the general speed and health of

the whole group keeps improving by the regular

killing of the weakest members.

 

In much the same way, the human brain can only

operate as fast as the slowest brain cells.

Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills

brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the

slowest and weakest brain cells first.

In this way, regular consumption of beer

eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the

brain a faster and more efficient machine.

 

That's why you always feel smarter after a few

beers."

Beer labels I've tried: San Miguel pale pilsen, lite, super dry,cerveza negra; Beer na Beer (I don't think I'll ever crave for this one!), Lagerlite (a long long time ago...); Carlsberg; Miller; Budweiser; Corona Extra; Tiger Beer; Tsingtao Beer; Victoria Bitter; XXXX Bitter & XXXX Gold; Toohey's New and Old; Hahn; Carlton Midstrength, Crown Lager; Cascade; Guinness!; Eichbaum Pilsner; Maisel's Weisse Weissbier; Shöfferhofer Wiessbier; Kostritzer Schwarzbier; Warsteiner Pils; Bitburger Pils; Holstein Pils; Jeder Pils; Moninger Pils and Wiessbier; Rothaus pils.

 

The weissbier is a different experience because these are German beers brewed from wheat unlike the usual hops and malts and is a "summer beer".

 

My personal favorite among the foreign beers though is still Guinness, if only for the memories of sitting in an Irish pub watching rugby! Of course, when back home, what can beat an ice cold bottle of san Miguel! :cool:

I do agree that the Italian beers such as Nastro Azzuro and Peroni, are not particularly palatable, but some of the French beer is surprisingly good I would recommend particularly those in the Alsace region as being close to Germany they are not of the French pilsener type but brewed with Ale Yeasts more in the Weissbiere style. Personally Belgium Beers in particular Stella Artois and Grolsch are my favourites. As for US beers with the possible exception of Sam Adams, it's very much like making love in a canoe (ie f**king close to water)
