Tips on healthy beer drinking?

I usually just hold the open end of the bottle against my mouth and tip the other end upwards. Seems to work well enough, at least for the first few bottles.

Then I just promise the barkeep a really big tip, and he holds the bottles for me.

Beer, helps ugly people get laid since 1840

^ That was a tip for ugly people. :O:

A tip on healthy beer drinking?

Don't drink US beer, Heineken or Grolsch.

Instead, drink either:
- Dutch pilsner (GOOD Dutch pilsner so no Heineken or Grolsch)
- Belgian beer
- German beer
:()1:

Note: any failure to follow the aforementioned rules can, and usually will, result in severe mental injuries due to the shock caused by the sheer trauma of tasting the aforementioned toxins

I don't drink, smoke, or take drugs. I'm also a vegetarian.

Yes, I AM a blast at parties!!!

Who else was a blast at parties?

Any brand names to look out for? I have an international market just around the corner with a huge beer/liquor dept, lots of imports, and chances are they will have some of 'em. Pretty much sticking to Beck's at the moment but certainly willing to try something different.

Becks is always a good choice.
If your looking for something different try Carlsberg.

My favorite pilsner is Bavaria, my favorite "special" beers are Hoegaarden (or even better Hoegaarden Grand Cru), Westmalle Tripel and Duvel

Danke mein herren!

*makes list*

[OneToughHerring]

Probably won't have it but Saku, an Estonian beer, is pretty good.

I'm also fond of the Czech beer variety, brands such as Velkopopovicky (difficult to say after you've had a few), Staropramen and Krusoviche. Porters are usually good too.

[Dowly]

Saku is pretty good, but the downside is that smaller shops dont usually sell it. :-?

[Jimbuna]

You might want to look for a bit of French...Stella Artois

[OneToughHerring]

About Hoegaarden...I remember when I went from Holland to France on a bus and in France the cops took me along with some others to a random check. The cop asked if I had any drugs on me and I said I have one beer, Hoegaarden which I did have. The cop started to praise the taste of it, "Oh Hoegaarden, it's so sweet and lemony! Wise choice!" I don't think he was a very good drug cop. :)

Well, I'll look for 'em anyway - I shop at a veritable local legend called Jungle Jim's (http://www.junglejims.com/beer/index.asp) and I've never yet looked for anything that they didn't have. If it's not in this place, nobody around here has it!

But right now I will have to be satisfied with a celebratory Beck's, cuz I just completed my first successful mission and sank the bloody Courageous (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=160340).* And no I am not stopping at half a bottle for each!

:woot::woot: :woot:

Good show!
Have a Carlsberg. It's the right thing to do.

[frau kaleun]

i only have beck's on hand and really i prolly shoulda stopped at half a bottle heh

actually starting to lose my quick initial buzz, time for another mebbe ya think?

[frau kaleun]

also beck's is what they drank in the movie and it always makes me feel so uboaty.

[Snestorm]

Have a hot one before bed.
Puts me right out.

[frau kaleun]

that's what sake's for. every time i drink it, esp warm, i need a nap shortly thereafter.

[Jimbuna]

Belgium is in France.....isn't it? :DL

[OneToughHerring]

Be careful if you order a Finnish beer called Lapin Kulta though. It comes from Lapland (or at least used to before they closed the brewery up north). :)

Saku is a bloody brewery, not a beer. They make several different type of beer.

[DarkFish]

Saku is a bloody brewery, not a beer. They make several different type of beer.is there a huge difference? of the beers I posted, Bavaria is a brewery , Westmalle is a brewery, Hoegaarden is a brewery and Duvel is a brewery. But if you ask for either of them, noone's gonna ask which of the beers of that particular brewery you want:)
(exept maybe Westmalle, asking for a "Westmalle" can just as well mean you want a "Westmalle Dubbel" as a "Westmalle Tripel")

Belgium is in France.....isn't it? :DL
Where is keltos01 when you need him:DL

[antikristuseke]

Id say there is a huge difference, because some of the stuff Saku produces is complete pisswater while other stuff it produces is great. They don't really have a single beer associated with them.

Well they sell Saku Originaal in Finland, and the various other Saku - varieties. Since there often seems to be the word Saku in the beer's name I kind of call them all the Saku-beer. Sorry. :oops:

Saku Originaal. (http://www.saku.ee/eng_toode_olu_sakuoriginaal.php)

Drink responsibly.

"Healthy beer drinking" and "Drink responsibly"?

Seems like contradictions in terms to me! :DL

Heineken :up:

I'm drinking Heineken as i type, i discovered this beer at new years and its now my favorite choice. Ive seen it on the shelfs for years but never bothered to try it. Glad i did now, damn it has a beautiful taste, like a full beer. Its a lager too and i usually hate the lager taste.

Heineken doesn't enjoy a favourable press here in the UK usually, but I drank it during my 2 year stint in Holland and the difference was truly amazing.

It's like most beers these days (Carlsberg etc) brewed around different countries worldwide, under licence.

I usually drink Foster's in the house (UK) and TarJak finds this highly amusing.

Originaal is the pisswater I mean, the beer has no character and barely any taste, it looks like piss, smells like piss and tastes like piss. And now they have ruined Rock aswell, it used to have a bitter hopps taste to it, but now it is as watered down as originaal used to be which is even more watered down now, they actualy dilute piss, the bastards.

A Finnish beer company Olvi owns a brewery called A. Le Coq in Estonia. They make pretty good beers too although my favourite Olvi-beer is Sandels.

[antikristuseke]

some pathetic cock beers are decent, while others suffer from the same problem as Saku beers of having no character. oh i call A le Coq pathetic cock because thats what it sounds like in estonian :)

[OneToughHerring]

Well, alcoholic beverages are cheap in Estonia, that's why many Finns ferry over there to buy crates of the stuff and then haul it back to Finland. In the process they might just barely save the price of the trip.

[conus00]

Pilsner Urquell. The original pilsner. You can get it here in the U.S. in some grocery stores or state liquor stores.

[ReFaN]

Bud light of course!


Drinking bud light is like having sex in a canoe, f''ing close to water.

[frau kaleun]

THIS BUD'S FOR YOU!

'Cause I sure as hell ain't drinkin' it.

:O:


Also, Hoegaarden advocates, this is what I found for sale here:

Yes? No?Yes!:yeah:

Hoegaarden is a great beer IMO. Of course that doesn't mean you'll like it too, but tasting has never hurt anyone, has it?:DL

Nope!

Nice thing is the international market down the street sells it by the bottle, so I can try it without springing for a whole six-pack (which I can prolly buy cheaper at the regular grocery down the other street, lol, if I like it).

[Jimbuna]

This is a nice ale....just don't go bending over whilst ordering it :DL

NOTHING.

I haven't had any of those brews so no opinion here. :yep:

Then again, I've never tasted piss either. So no opinion there. :haha:

My version of this thread.





"Tipsy heavy beer shrinking."

In order to shrink the beer. the firs tthing you gottado. is get ahold of theb eer and grasps it firnly in your hand.

thes second thing you gotta do is get your bottle opener, and pop the top.

the third thing yougoaat do.

umm

the

the...

three third thing you goat-a-do is hole it up to your mouth and commensurate the drikning of the beer.

don t guzzle it all down in one missive glup though.

becaus...

becuz good beer can be pretty filling, and if you take your time with it astead of just gulping it down shot gun style, you wont get that full feeling in your st- stomach.

as you consu- as - as you confuse the beer. you will notice that there is less and less in the bottle.

so... you are act-shully srhinking it down to smaller size.

the tenth thing you have to do is when you shrunk the beer until is smo small that you cant even see it... walk over an go to the redriginazor and get another beer. and repeat steps one through... umm

an anotherthing.

when tipsuy heavy beer shrinking you shouln always make sure to do.

umm
