KernelPanic:
European beer rocks and dont I know it.
I am talking about europe proper though and not the UK.
Calum:
you know, budweiser is actually based on an old Czech beer called Budvar. it's very popular now in Scotland, and you can get it in Melbourne pubs too (not sure about Sydney, it's probably too designer for Sydney...) you should try it, it kicks ass compared with the US come-lately chemical enhanced version!
Another favourite of mine is beers made from wheat instead of barley! mmmmmm they are lovely! top names are Schofferhofer and Hoegaarden.
Also, and you'll need to come to Scotland for this, but you cannot whack a good pint of Tennent's 70 shilling (now annoyingly called Velvet to catch the youth market) or Belhaven Best. Irish best beers by a very long way are Beamish Black (which wins any fight against Guinness hands down) and Beamish Red. This beer is actually red! and it tastes really good.
Right sorry, just had to round up some good European beers for ya in case anybody fancies trying them!
KernelPanic:
I've seen (and drunk) the same stuff in France.
voidmain:
Ahh yes, wheat beer is good too. I like the half inch of sediment on the bottom of the bottle. No really, it's good stuff. And my buddy is a big fan of "Kilkenny" which I believe is an Irish beer. That one is actually one of the better imports. I've never had it when I was in Europe. I used to drink a lot of Bitburger, and other local brews...
Calum:
kilkenny is the irish beer most similar to seventy. however a pint of seventy shilling really does go down a lot better depending on the brewery it comes from. kilkenny is available in a lot of places though, so it makes a good substitute for anybody who is hankering for a seventy! i despair of good beer now i'm in london! these fuckers all drink lukewarm fucking piss!
