Should Stella Artois Be the Official Beer of Subsimmers ?

[Mush Martin]

Should Stella Artois be the Official Brew of the Sub Crew
Available across the world and no doubt drunk by fulton
himself

or should we go through the pretense of a vote
before we elect it ?

[Chock]

I think Becks should be the one, since it shows up on a lot of pictures of German submariners having one upon their return.

:D Chock

[The WosMan]

Nothing for us yanks. US subsimmers have to keep true to the Navy code. No alchohol on the vessel. We're a bunch of damn teetotalers. Once you get to port though, look out.

[baggygreen]

Carlton Draught.

If you poor bastardos havent got access to it, start hassling people to import it. its brilliant.:yep:

[america person]

Carling- or Carlsberg....or lager...so stella's good

Had my first "Pure Blonde" last week, then I went for another, then another........

Quite nice.

While it is generally my drink when I go out (tastes great on tap) I'd always prefer a Becks or Stella. With Becks being my preferred beer.

[SUBMAN1]

Sickening! I thought people here had better taste in beers!

-S

Apparently not if you don't like Becks or Stella. :p

[Chock]

Well, I didn't say Becks was m favourite, just that it perhaps ought to be the 'subsimmer one' I actually prefer a Czech one - Pilsner Urquell. Sometimes tricky to find in the UK, with intermittent stocks in Sainsbury, but not impossible to come across.

:D Chock

[The Munster]

Used to be Stella for me until discovered Innis & Gunn, it's a beautiful smooth beer with the taste of vanilla; a small bottle but packs a big punch :yep:

He caught 'em but by the 3rd knockback he was under the table on the floor.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

[Mush Martin]

All Right All Right All Right..................so heres my suggestion

for a beer to qualify for the subsequent poll it must be mentioned
on this thread.

so if you want your beer to get in id suggest you mention
it.

Only Discriminating Beers with an International reputation and
distribution need apply as if we are going to have an
"Official Brew of the Sub Crew" together we should all be
able to buy it. and it shouldnt suck.

If any beer should be the subsim official beer, it should be this:

Agreeing with Ramius and SUBMAN (wow! :p)

I'd make the official drink Absinthe, but if it has to be a beer, then either Staropramen or McArdles ale, brewed in my hometown :)

stella has got a wonderful unpolitically correct name in the R.N can anyone guess

Too true, Black Sheep, or Theakston's ale for me.

Well to fly the flag with a beer thats international, i guess we go with fosters

I don't even know anyone that drinks fosters. :huh:

[baggygreen]

Thats cos its the poor quality stuff we don't care if we get less of.

Thats why the good stuff isnt available overseas, we're selfish buggers who wanna keep our beer to ourselves!:rotfl:

[Reaves]

I'll drink to that!!

:rotfl:


-I actually won't be drinking as last night I endured a heavy night out where I forgot to eat dinner and as a consequence i'm still feeling like a turd in a portaloo.

[jumpy]

Wife Beater?! urgh! (stella artrois)

Give me Moreland "Old Speckled Hen" (fine strong ale) any day of the week over that chemical 'headache in a can' crap. http://images.google.co.uk/images?hl=en&q=old+speckled+hen&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi

Newcastle Browne Ale is fine if you want loose bowels the next morning :o But I wouldn't recommend it...

"Bishops Finger" is good too http://static.flickr.com/118/279012493_0d7dd915cf_o.jpg

Also "Bishops Tipple" http://images.google.co.uk/images?gbv=2&svnum=10&hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=bishops+tipple&btnG=Search+Images

"Theakstons Old Peculiar" is nice also.

[Ramius]

No idea what your on about there :hmm:

Thought Southerners only drank Shandy anyway ?? :rotfl: :rotfl:


Wife Beater gives you a bad head (whilst drinking it :doh: )
But you just can't beat a bottle of Dog, or hows about a can of Red Death ? :|\\

[jumpy]

Who you calling 'southern'?! :stare:
I'm from the midlands... :lol:
Anyways, you try drinking 8 bottles of newky brown and see what I mean the next morning... if you have the 'stomach' for it lol :rotfl:

Do you mean Dogbolter?

Astra... rough as guts, but it's a true sailor beer

Well since I was brought up of the stuff, the side effects you mention don't really have any effect on me :up:
Just the usual felling like #@# after a night out.

"Dog" is another name for Newcastle Brown Ale :up:

[Kapitan_Phillips]

I like Stella. Infact I like all beers.


Even Budweiser.

For all interested: Becks is associated with the city of Bremen

A few kilometers west of wilhelmshaven is the small town "Jever" located.

Your joking that stuff tastes like dogs p*ss.

The only people I've ever met that don't like Stella are people from the UK... the Stella available in the UK is brewed in the UK, so it's not Stella. Stella is from Belgium :yep:

Sorry people, but Stella simply isn't as good as their marketing campaign would have you believe.

Subman, you and I are beer snobs of the same ilk. Glad I moved to the Pacific NW, great place for a beer snob to be.

PD

If that's a drink then I will stick my ass out of the window and slap it. :lol:

PS. What is really bad though is having 3 plances to find rarer beers within walking distance. I can put a game of SHIV on pause, run across a street, load up, and get back in no time.

You wanna stick to that? There was an Asian drink during the early 1900's that was called "MhoohK", but it was discontinued due to a death that resulted from the high content levels of cocaine (like Coca-Cola, only with alcohol and cocaine added in! NOW WITH MORE LETHALITY!).:yep:

Although the skill of pouring a proper pint has not completely made it across the Irish Sea or Atlantic Ocean :p.

GUINNESS !!! Nothing but the BEST for me and my crew !!!!Even this tastes like water these days. This used to be a heavy beer many years ago for me, but it is no longer. I'd trade that for a good Double Bastard Ale in a heartbeat.
