I'm a big fan of the blondes too katie (in more ways than one)

hahaha, as in of the opposite gender variety?
Good work man!

Hmm, one beer I kinda can't like is XXXX .... its not that great.
I only drink the blondes as I don't get beer belly with that beer.

the best beer I had in Australia was Little Creatures !
Really nice beer.

I want my beer in dark bottles as well.
And I like the 'tripel' variety best (it's gold/blonde with a high ABV, most of the time 8-10%)

go matt!

As you already know Matt I love your beer in Belguim.


Can't stand XXXX either Katie......... I stick to much of the beer coming from Tassie and selected brands from the Mainland.

I have decided it isn't th beer that is making me fat ..... it is the pizza, chips, cheese and biscuits and Shapes I eat when I drink it.

that's true.

Because drinking beer on itself won't make you fat, it just slows down your liver and metabolism in general, which results in your other food to turn into more fat etc.

That's why many alcoholics who don't eat a lot are not fat at all.

I can go out and drink a lot of beer and not gain weight at all the next day, yet when I decide to eat a hamburger or pitta with it, i know that it's very unhealthy

yeah sadly many people misunderstood that.

More of a wine guy myself, but I do love me some Corsendonk.



Other than that, I guess I like more 'average' stuff... hadn't had much. Never been drunk in my life, nor do I plan to, but yeah, I still would like to try many different brews.

Local beer, made near my home town! tastes good as

'Corsendonk' is a very nice beer. I like it a lot as well. Last Saturday i had a 'De Koninck'. It tasted like Ice-tea mixed with beer....After 3 zips i left it on the bar and ordered something else....

erh doesn't sounds good :p

I just had a Brand Imperator. Very Nice Beer!

YaY...a beer thread.

Unfortunately, I am currently on the wagon...possible liver problems, so no beer for a while, at least.

I tried several Spanish beers while in Spain, didn't find anything amazing,
but most of it was ''at least mediocre'', some nice refreshing

I like a light, refreshing beer in the summer. It's nice if it also has some flavor...but when it's really hot outside, and the beer is chilled to ice cold, flavor is optional...though a little citrus is always nice...adds to the refreshing qualities.

Yeah, Spain isn't exactly known for its beer

I spent 16 hours in Spain once. It rocked.

Haven't drank beer in awhile but last time i went to a bar with friends I had Magic hat #9.

I will check out some of the Swiss beers, since i will be spending my time in switserland for vacation. I will let you all know if i found something nice.

hmmm....just had a heineken (Why am i drinking dutch beer in Switserland)...not my kind a beer...

haha, Heineken and Amstel are big in Spain, it seemed Amstel had a Spanish branch too.

I found out that my dutch side of the family owned breweries in the Netherlands before the War- ww2...... WOW!

Trying to find out which ones.....

do let me know!
