Well, it's true that the bar is a rather popular social gathering place, yes. But no, you don't have to be lonely. You can still be with your friends, and order some stuff that does NOT contain alcohol :) The bar has a very large selection of non-alcoholic drinks. And if you'd rather not drink anything at all ... the won't throw you out because of that :)
-
How lonely you will be depends on how social you are, what interests you have, with what kind of people you'd like to hang out with (and you are able to find them)
I've been to every EF (and MMC) since 2002, and I've never been lonely because of not drinking a single drop of alcohol. Honestly, the furs I hang out with don't even care. Sure, they are not the type of furs who just spend the night in front of the bar and get drunk, making crazy jokes and stuff. If you'd like to be around THESE kind of folks, well, being sobre can be a quick turn-off :)
*purrrr*
-
Being someone who is usually quite reserved about alcohol, in my experience it hasn't been an issue. :)
So indeed, I think on account of that you don't have to be lonely.
-
I'm not allowed to answer this question ;)
-
Is someone, who doesn't drink, going to be very lonely?
someone who drinks "way too much(tm)" is going to be very lonely
first alone in his room/bathroom
second the next morning at home
so feel free not to get drunk and have nice conversations with new friends :-)

I don't drink at all... and I prefer cons with a low alcohol-per-person ratio. Here are the 7 reasons why:
1. The conversations make more sense, content-wise
2. The language people talk in is understandable, pronounciation-wise
3. You don't miss the con passed out in a bathroom corner
4. You won't wake up in the morning married to a sheep
5. You may find less "friends" but you will actually remember them afterwards
6. You will actually benefit from attending the panels and SIGs. Intellectual capacity be praised!
7. Your reputation will remain unscathed, especially if you're on a con for the first time and make a first impression on many, many people
7. There will be no sinister wolf on your tail threatening to push you into a cold shower to sober up
7. You don't need to pay extra for cleaning services
7. You will retain your ability to count.
Limiting the amount one imbibes on a con is an excellent idea!
:D

Alcohol isn't a black-and-white thing, it's just a matter of regulating how much you drink for yourself. It can be a tremendous addition to an evening with friends, but if you overdo it, you're in hell - just like everything in life, moderation is key.

It's a real shame you got that affliction because German beer is really good tasting, but I must admit not worth that risk.
last EF someone offered me a "Bayerisches Weißbier" now you must know, normally I hate beer.
But curiosity made me accept his kind offer.
And now I must say, unfortunately (but of course as expected) I haven't seen it here in any shop. :(
I've seen canned versions of German Weißbier at the supermarket (Lidl incidentally), of course it's not the same but I might try it. ::)

Well, he didn't say that Dutch beer wasn't good tasting. Heineken, however, is a beer without any characteristics. Germany has mediocre beers, too: Warsteiner, Bitburger, Krombacher... But at least that's beer. Where I am right now people associate that soda pop called Bud with beer. At least I cannot blame the folks in this specific state for it, as most of them do not drink alcoholic beverages at all. Yes, I am in Utah currently.
I bought a box of Heineken the other day (which, at least, is a beer,) just wanting to see what happens. The cashier demanded my photo ID (though she didn't for the other customer who was buying cigarettes.) I gave her my German ID card, which is another one of my practical jokes when I'm in the US: try to confuse them with weird documents. Much to my disappointment, it never worked before. Usually it is just one short look and that's it. But this lady was looking at the card for over a minute, then requested the passport (which has a very similar card), compared both cards for another minute, trying to comprehend, sighed and gave me back both documents. Hilarious!

I absolutely do not understand what people like about Heineken, I find it horrible.
But that is what is normally been associated with beer here in Holland, perhaps that is why I always said I didn't like beer.
It could be the same as with McDonald's: if you advertise enough people will seriously start to believe it's good.

hahhahaha that pWNz <3

Warsteiner is one of my favroits that and becks.

Germany is a big country, so I would find it very strange indeed if it didn't have decent beers. I've had a few nice ones, but they tended to be smallbrews, from places I was staying at. Most of my german time tends to be spent with friends in Köln, though, so you can guess what they're trying to feed me.
They've stopped jeering at me not keeping up with them after I explained that I never drink large quantities of yellow water, and wether they'd like to hold a contest with beer of my choosing :-)
I'm halfway considering bringing my own beer, I'm passing at least two Trappist abbeys anyways. On the other hand, It might be interesting to get a tour of decent beers from our German hosts *hint* *hint* ;D
-
i have no idea about how many brews there are in germany
but i like to remind of the oldest known law for foodstuff from 1516 where the contents of a 'beer'
is defined
therefore most of the foreign brews are not understood as a 'beer' for a 'real german beerdrinker' *G*
since i belive i'm qualified to give a realy good advice on a beer (after 20years being a firefighter in germany)
here's my favorite: it is called "Torgauer Landbock"
despite the name it isn't realy a 'bockbier' , what stands for a usualy strong alc. content
it is more like an older beer in taste
meaning it 'fills' the mounth and is 'thick'
yes, it is from a brewery in torgau at the elbe river where at the end of WW2 the allied and russians meet at that famous bridge
nice town, lived near by,,, even nicer beers :-)
oh sry i'm kinda like off topic here
just
somewolf
-
The topic being 'Alcohol', you're hardly off-topic :-)
That's the Reinheitsgebot (sp) you're talking about, and imo it's well past it's prime - it was necessary back then, but it really stops german brewers from coming up with original stuff.
And what do you mean by 'high' alcohol content ? Everything is relative, and I'm Belgian, so used to 12% beers :-)
-
Ah.. Good ol' Belgian beers. They can sneak up on you when you are drinking them, like Chimey (hope I spelled that correctly.) But still, German and Belgian beers are great compared to the American ones. I don't think I could drink an American beer if it was the only thing available, I would be sober. (Besides the fact it is almost impossible to get drunk on those things, have to drink like 12)

Beer? Do you guys even drink hard liquor out there? ~_^ Or am I just crazy for liking stuff like Bols vodka? (Well, okay, Bols is a little too sweet for my liking, but still, tis better than Smirnoff)
Fawks, what about Canadian beers, any opinion on those?
-
I did like Labatt when I was still living in Michigan, but I didn't have much other then that. Still, Canadian beer gets watered down when you get it in the states. Although, I love me Whiskey and Scotch. *hugs his bottle of Crown Royale*

Well, for people who don't like beer we have that little toy at the bar.

*shudders* I've heard waaaaay too many horror stories about that stuff, although it's interesting to watch friends down Jager Bombs... (red bull / jagermeister)
-
Jager bombs are my favorite drinks when I am out at a club or bar, get a nice feeling going and still have the energy to keep dancing the night away. But, they mess up my Billiards game. A fair trade. Anyone at the con that would be willing to share the fun of the bombs with me, the offer is always open. :P

Eh, knowing me, I'd be willing to try one out, even if Red Bulls don't really do much for me (liar, they sure worked at the Twisted E when jumpstylin, lol). How hard does that stuff hit a person anyways? I'm used to downing half a 26/750 of vodka in an hour or two (well, okay, fine, three hours, I'm a little wonky if I do it in less than two hours). Billiards, how i miss such... Did well when I was in New Zealand, and now I suck, because everywhere all they have is light cues... I miss the 28-31 ouncers....
-
Oh my... 28-31!! I play with a 20 if I can get my paws on it. But, I learned how to put a lot of power behind a 20 when I need to, but Jager go down pretty smooth, and don't hit too hard. It's better then drinking it straight. Also, when I am drinking to just have a good time, I take my time on them. But, slamming them down is always fun as well.

Anything less than a 27 my shots are wonky, it's weird... I know, tis heavy, but hey, I like em heavier for some reason, easier to control and balance for how I play.
-
Yeah, everyone has there own style of playing, and I am rusty as it stands right now... (Still can't believe I got beat by a pregnant, short woman multiple times in a row, she just wouldn't stop killing me.) Hmmm... now I am in the mood to go play, to bad I really should get to sleep in a little while.

Oh, c'mon, it's only what, 2300 or so over there? ~_^ Sooo can't wait to try out the european vodkas though, only tried my paw at Finlandia and Bols so far, and I hate paying $40-60 for a 750. >.>
-
Actually, it is only 2130 right now, but I have work in the morning, and it will be a boring enough day as it is, so sleep is SO necessary.

Despite having killed of several 750s in the past three months, I've only had one cocktail ever. Had a few double vodka strawberry daquiris though, those are usually pretty good ^_^
-
Ack! daquiris are no cocktails..........this is just frozen flavored alcohol..........*bleh*
Let me know and i show you good ones

Two things mixed is called longdrink...........far away from a cocktail

Absynthe is as high as I go, sorry. Or Black Label Smirnoff. ^_^ Everclear is for use when you're out of paint thinner/stripper as well as brake fluid, imo... And speaking of absynthe, it's weird, proper absynthe is banned here in Canada because it has wormwood in it, but you can buy wormwood at the local pharmacy or drug store, over the counter, perfectly legally. o_O
-
We do shots of whitelighting, Everclear and if it's a dull night pucker.
-
Pucker... Well, I'll bring the kool-aid and we can have a party. :P The only way I drink pucker is in jello shots, or if it is the "99" varieties.
-
Hey NightFox.... Yeah, Jager's fujn indeed. ^_^ Made the walk home from the train/LRT sooo muc hmore interseting. Made the breaks/jungle/garage being spun at the club even better to dance to as well. :)
-
Yup, and if you mix it with Red Bull, you have the energy to go all night... Until you get bored and start a whiskey drinking contest at an Irish Pub... I kinda remember that night.
-
i've had a drink made by Pantera guitarist Dimebag Darrell Abbott (R.I.P.)
- Jagermeister
- Jack Daniels
- Wild Turkey
- Splash of coke
One will get you drunk, its called A BLACK TOOTH GRIN, after the lyric from a Megadeth track called Sweating Bullets.... Isn't learning fun ^^

It was sort of like a jager bomb, but with something tastier - Rockstar Juiced. More caffeine, more taste, same price (actually, they're always on sale 2/$5, as opposed to $3 a can for Jag ^_^)... And they were taken about 20 mins apart... As for whiskey, I'll never touch the stuff as I'm allergic to it (which sucks, because I want to try J.D. sometime)

As much as I'm embarassed to say it, one jagermeister will do in me right now.... Although by the time EF swings around, I'll be able to probably down half a dozen jag's, because I'll be drinking that stuff every week now (Sal's on 17th here in Calgary has a breaks/garage/jungle night, and the "cover" is $5 per person in drinks - coincidentally enough, a red bull is $5. ^_^). That walk home last night was even more fun than going home from Noisia back in December complete baked (not even of my own will, there was a huge cloud of smoke in the community hall, lol)....

What's the name of that cocktail? "The Trans-Sylvanian Puke Bomb"?

#Eerrrrffff, wine.... Sooo not my thing.... Oh wait, that's fresh out of the.... fancey bottle thingies that dad brewed stuff in, while it was being filtered before going into bottles.... But I dunno, coffee doesn't sound too great in a mix imo... Looks like it would be a bit of a painful mix though....
-
Yeah, I agree... but, I am always willing to try something once. Mind you, that would have to be an opener right there, because everything begins to taste better after a few, and I don't want to try that and be like, OMG! It's amazing, and then recommend it to someone. I get strange enough looks on some of my combinations.
-
I get sick from alcohol, and I don't really like the stuff anyway. So I'll be sticking with fizzy drinks. ^^

I blame the Jagermeister for enabling me to down half a can of Canadian, gawd that stuff's harsh and weird tasting. ^_^
-
The only EF I drank something worth of calling it alcohol and it was the mead in the sponsors lounge (aaah... the good old time...) :).
I never had any problems socializing though. And The only EF I was not attending since then was EF 11.
So... hey... I would be a person who is happy about people that are not drunk.
Last EF some drunk person stumbled and fell on my leg, bending it sideways (OUCH!) oh and another drunk person shouted so loud into the ear of a lioness that she got a trauma (more OUCH!).
That is why I like a convention with not so much alcohol.
-
I'm going to control my drinking at EF. i'm not a problem when drunk anyway, I'm not violent, sad or puking. I'm pretty much the same, i only cause mayhem when i have gone waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay of the top, which is very rare.
-
Even if i am 17, i enjoy alcohol, though not much. I drink for the taste not to get drunk, even though it's a fun experience and it's most likely to happen. Czech beer is the best!

WOW ;D
and what brand do you like most? I drink Gambrinus or Pilsen mostly, but I maintain a strict policy "only one" wherever I go. I have a low activity of alcoholdehydrogenasis (an enzyme which breaks down alcohol molecules) so even two beer are enough to get me very drunk (same thing happens to Innuits and Australian Aborigineese) 8)

Speaking on beer... Someone converted me to that dark side. Labatt Blue, Coor's Light, and Wildwood Cherry (Wildwood's a local brewery, just south of the "red mile" on 4th st) aren't too too bad...

Heehee I wonder what would happen if I serve you all 'Duvel' *giggles*

Most evil drink of all time is nuke waste, Mixed in a 5 gallon bucket it goes as follows.
One bottle of 151 rum, 1 bottle of cheap gin, 1 bottle of cheap tquila, 1 bottle of vodka, 1 bottle of blue carouc, 1 bottle of sweet and sour mix and three bottles of everclear, stir with a stick and bingo one drunk ass party.

*grins* appart form that, I am wondering if I am the only one worried by the aspect of "cheap" alcohol? Face it, if it's cheap, it is either a headache enhancer or a drinkable cleaning substitute.

For an average person; one to get you in the mood, two to get you lightly drunk, three to get you severely drunk, four to get you seriously sick, five to get you into the hospital, six to get you into the graveyard.
But besides that, it's a GREAT beer and very very tasty, Belgium's best export-product!

Well, since it was only cheap tequila and the vodka will probably be Gorbatschov, its no waste at all.
Cheetah: I never got the Idea of those mixes... especially on Cons - if they'd use the money from the wasted con, they could use better alc and eventually even enjoy it... but well. As long as they don't disturb anyone or destroy things it shouldn't be our prob...

It has never been that bad, neither at EF nor at MMC. People tend to drink a lot of alcohol, but they usually also know when to stop. You'll always have a handful of people who don't know how to behave, but these are less than 1% of the attendees.

hey BBF you are right: it never was a problem
i just picked up Okamis refference to the amount of talk here about how to get drunk

Given the suggestions of "alcohol powder" or "nuclear waste" I very much challenge the knowledge of alcoholic beverages. A professional Bar Attendant - whom I don't think you will challenge his knowledge for obvious reasons - will most certainly have a smile and firm "No" to most of the suggestions here :)
And most certainly would suggest to try the lokal beer on location. I can confirm it is quite tastey.

And people wonder why I'm willing to spend $40-60 CAD on a 750 of vodka when I could buy a bottle of Finlandia or - dare I say it - Silent Sam... ^_^
I'll second the whole "what's the point" to getting drunk on one shot bit... Alcohol is supposed to be enjoyed, not abused.

Ahhh, Finlandia is not THAT bad, at least the one you get in Finland... But Koskenkorva is better... ;)

We seem to get not so great imports here in Canada... Absynthe that's lacking wormwood (and taste, lol), our Bols vodka comes in a plastic container and has insane amounts of sugar in it (literally, we jokingly call it 40% sugar here in the house), and Finlandia... I dunno, Smirnoff tastes better.. *shrugs* But if I had to pick anything, gimme mah 42 Below or Liquid Ice. :)

Speaking of which... How many beers you think you can handle? (I think I already asked this question here before) Me only 3 top, as I have a low activity of alcoholdehydrogenasis (an enzyme which breaks down the ethanol molecules, Im like innuits, or australian aborigineese). It takes just one beer to get me drunk, two to get me serious trouble and third one to get me asleep under the table. ;D
Someone spoke about an absynth here... well i had it only once... 80 percent one, and I think if anyone would light a match in front of me at that time, I would resemble a true fire-breathing dragon :)
-
What sense does it make to know how many beers you can stand?
I really recommend to not try this out at eurofurence, this will cause a lot of problems for the one who tryes.

Dont worry NightFox, I will not drink at all at EF. I want to enjoy it fully without alcohol clouding my mind.
But this IS a topic about alcohol, is it not?

You are right, no fire-breathing while in a fursuit ;) I would not want to reseble FireFox (or a FireWolf ;D ;D ;D )
NightFox: "What sense does it make to know how many beers you can stand?"
I think it is important to know, when should one stop drinking. It is even more important for those, who drink alcohol only about 3-4 times in a whole year (like me for example).
-

You know you've had enough when you're talking rubbish.
So apparently your alcohol tolerance is low enough to get drunk from your own aftershave.
-
Well, I haven't been able to find out how much I can stand and I don't want to. I've won two times against a colleege back in my pizzadelivery days and he could stand many shots of wodka. And still I could walk straight with eyes closed. So it is much. But well, since I'm driving a lot on my motorcycle and still in my first two years of my driverslicence class A (motorcycles >125ccm) I don't want to get cought and do it again. And of course I don't want to miss more parts of EF than needed.

Jager, absinth, white wine, red wine, coffee and milk !
What's the name of that cocktail? "The Trans-Sylvanian Puke Bomb"?
heh neat name !
Because thats the fun with drinking, anyone with abit of knowledge can make a new special drink that wont make you go blind
Kenno, I was talking about INTENTIONALLY BAD drinks, like using "alcohol powder" or "nuclear waste" and then bragging about how fast it turns you into a babbling puking idiot. Like, what half of this thread is about :) I find it rather immature.
this is not a bad drink, it doesn't make you sick, and it's soft in tast and for brain, would more be like for chilling :)
and it's inspired by a common drink here called "grolle" which is hot coffee, some very pure alcohol of fruit (apple or this sort of fruit) and orange zest then warm it up, wonderfull :)
and no it's not strong cause it's warmed up so strong alcohol goes away
but thanks for thename, gonna register it as "Trans-Sylvanian Puke Bomb
Yeah, I agree... but, I am always willing to try something once. Mind you, that would have to be an opener right there, because everything begins to taste better after a few, and I don't want to try that and be like, OMG! It's amazing, and then recommend it to someone. I get strange enough looks on some of my combinations.
My mixe looks really weird on view and smell, but is infact instant goodness :)

I did spoke about absinth, and I'll say "DON'T DRINK IT IF YOU'RE NOT USED TOO" cause you can just pass out in a record time (45minute after a single shot like a jagger glasse) :)
and about the beer, I get drunk at about the 4 to 6th, and dunno how much I can handle, but a lots :)

thirsty as alway's eyh? *grins*
i have to say, as a dutchman......heineken SUCKS. it's like...water from the ditch, but then tasteless.
i rather have a jupiler, grolsch or an warsteiner, although warsteiner has less taste than jupiler.
also. some malt whisky like oban or a nice blended like chivas regal 18 year old goes well too ofcourse
anyway. kitty signing out.

As a Belg, I do not like Jupiler, in my opinion it's no Belgium beer anymore (the interbrew group is international and kills all traditional brewery's and beers in Belgium), if you want a very tasty beer that will get you quickly in the mood I highly recommend Duvel (www.duvel.be, part of the local Moortgat brewery and available in most foreign countries, even in the US and Japan).
Cheers ^.^

i was talking about a beer to just...you know....beer you can drink alot of without falling off you barstool after an hour. duvel i like indeed, but on special occasions, also grolsch kanon is quite...hefty, but a bit too sweet for my taste.
not a good idea though is drinking them both at the same time......*uhum* what i did last weekend *uhum*
but indeed. duvel is quite something

Porn stars??? :o
Blue Bols, Red Sourpuss, and seven up. Not too too bad, although a little sweet.

Ok I'll try to explain, its like when you have a cold and your grandmother comes up with that big old brown bottle and a spoon... It tastes similar, only, this is WITH alcohol (unless your grandmother gave you Jägermeister anyway...).
-

...what exactly *is* Jagermeister?.....and don't say "A German alcoholic drink", or words to that effect :P

it's a bit spicy as in. it's like ground spice. ya know what i mean? the stuff they put in cookies. like cinnamon and stuff.
-
A lot of people compare the taste to black licorice. The first time you drink it, that is probably what you will end up thinking. Of course, Jager mixes really well with most energy drinks.
-
Jägermeister is a herb liqueur, made of 56 differnet herbs.
The big difference is that we store it for over a year in wooden barrels before we fill it ito the bottle.
It has 35% of alcohol.
As shot its the best to serve it ice cold, its also tasty as lonkdrink with orange juice, cherry juice, energy or even as cocktail.
-
You know what, Nightfox, you and I are going to have to meet up sometime, so you can show me all the ways to drink my favorite liquor.
-
Well, you can find me at the bar from time to time.
On our website you can find over 200 mix ideas: http://www.jagermeister.com/
-
Ein Jägermeister? Nur wenn er Eis und eiskalt ist. :D
I've never tasted the stuff actually, but it looks as if it's a bit like Berenburg.
Berenburg is a nice liquor made locally here, it is also made with several herbs, and mixes good with cola or pure.
-
Eiskalt liquorice, eh? Hoping this is gonna be served at the bar, methinks I need to try this ;D
-
heh nightfox, could I get a bottle of Jägermeister and you learn me 'bout different cocktail and share them ? :)
-
I would love to but i won't have time for that at eurofurence.
-
in some late time at the camp fire maybe ? :)
-
I'll second the whole black liquorice thing too - or just say Buckley's, it kinda tastes like that.
-
Didn't have much of the Jäger I'm afraid, I get too drunk on anything stronger than beer (and German beer is yummy) but I really liked the Jägertea! :)

BRing Absinth and Acid, we're going animalistic! :P!
I know my friend thought he was an animal while he drunk it..He was GNAWING on my damn leg...I still got marks after it <.<.
So as long as it's no gnawing..and just other stuff, I am so in *thumb-digit up!*

They did have a pretty decent selection there...and a drink with a rather entertaining name...You know which one I'm talking about XD

That was my cocktail :) enjoy........

I myself must avoid alcohol at all costs... since my severe allergic reaction to a Captain Morgan-filled Diet Coke I accidentally drank down in México, I cannot enjoy the "finer" things in life. Not even Jägermeister. :p
Because of that, my doctor had diagnosed me with ADD.
Always Designated Driver.
I'm here if you need me, Uncle Kagé. ^^

Damn, I'm glad I took a bottle of Jaeger home with me from the Rewe in Suhl. 9.99 euros it cost me....over here in the UK that's rougly £6.00-ish. Found the same size bottle in a Tesco store here....£16 !!! No fair :(
-
I love the fact that the only way I can find Jager where I am living is in a gift set. But, that is two shotglass with every bottle, and between me and my friends, I need a new bottle every week.
-
Gets expensive after a while... is it really worth it?
And who thought up the beverage "Professional Hunter," anyway? lol

Well, yeah, though in American English, "Professional" and "Master" are interchangable, but British English, they are not. (Professional = Of a profession, or one's profession.)
And since British English is the correct form of English, I deduce that Cheetah's translation is more accurate than my own. ^_^
8 years of learning German and you'd think I'd get that right... ah well. ^^
Anyway... back on topic... sorry for the rubbish. ^^
Clearly I'm missing out here on something. The last time I had alcohol was a near-death experience for me, so I will never get nor understand the pleasures of this Jägermeister beverage. :p
-
[...]so I will never get nor understand the pleasures of this Jägermeister beverage. :p
Nor do I, but then its just a matter of taste :)

Very good, more for me ;D

Be my guest, I tasted the stuff but was not all that impressed. ::)
But then again I'm not really a big fan of alcoholic beverages anyway.
-
I think I must blame Nightfox for this one, but before EF, I was almost solely a Whiskey drinker. I like Jager, but wasn't adoring it. Now, I mix it with a lot of different things (my new favorite is Apple Juice, Jager, and Spiced Rum), or just drink it straight. Let's just say, there will away be a bottle in the freezer! Thanks Nightfox!

Absinthe is one of those "other world" beverages... I'm not sure what its purpose is. Most people as I understand it drink to socialize, or to get a light "buzz" (which is a sign from your brain that your oxygen and/or water content in your brain is low). Is this "Absinthe" really dangerous?
-
Is this "Absinthe" really dangerous?
Only if you drink too much of it for too long ( but thats pretty much the case with all sort of alcohol ;) )
The reason it has a bad reputation is because it was the only alcohol available in some back-water valley (because distilled on site) and some murder cases put the blame on people over-drinking it. So it was banned from store and labeled as a making people crazy.
Something like that.
edit:
it is pretty nicely explained there:

You are very welcome. ;D
It would be an honor to show you more longdrink variations next time.

I trust that Jaegermeister will also be next year's unofficial sponsors again? :P

To be honest, i had nothing to do with that hype, i just gave the hotel the Tap Machine, the rest was done by themselfs.

Thanks for the link. Pretty educational.
Jägermeister is becoming ever more popular here in Minnesota. I can't be sure why, but I think it's the Minnesotan's interest in the German language. (jk) XD
-
Nope, its because its a good product :)
Its hard to find good spirits in a country which sells its own stuff in plastic bottels *bleh* :P
So you have to buy the imported stuff ;)
-
They even serve beer here in plastic bottles. It's pretty sad. lol
-
Well, since you can not call that stuff beer anyway it doesn't matter ;D
-
To put it in the words of Confusious: "American beer is like sex on the beach..." I'll let you fill in the rest.
If there's any country in the world that could consider itself a professional on beer, it would most likely be Germany.

I think Jager is actually getting popular in most of the northern states. I am originally from Michigan, and Jager is very easy to find and is quite popular there as well.

Okay, now I finally understand the name Budlight, it's about *censored*! ;D
And to conceal this, it is cryptic and incorrectly spelled. :D

Erf, I don't get it... must be because I've been awake for 19 hours now... nightshifts...

19 hours, éh? Heh, come the holiday shifts, it'll seem like a normal workday. I put in 85 hours last year during the holiday week in December.
Nice paycheque, though. lol

To put it in the words of Confusious: "American beer is like sex on the beach..." I'll let you fill in the rest.
Actually I heard that as "sex in a canoe" but it comes down to the same :)
If there's any country in the world that could consider itself a professional on beer, it would most likely be Germany.
Actually that should be Czech Repuplik. Someone once showed me some statistics, telling that Czech beer consumption per head is higher than in Germany, whereas our over all alcohol consumption is higher. Anyway - in both countries you can find pretty decent beer... (and beverages)

Yeah, he forgot Holland on both lists! :o

Holland? OK, admitted, famous for beer, but for good beer?
SCNR ;D

Well, the problem here is fairly universal: Beer off the tap in Holland is actually far better than the stuff they export :D But that goes for quite a lot of countries and their beers...

Yeah, Heineken for instance is a good exportproduct even though I think it is like having sex in a canoe, but on the other hand Amstel is very drinkable.

Obviously, you're talking about the fizzy brand named stuff, not *proper* beer, like only Germany and England seem to have any idea how to brew :P
-
My apologies if I forgot the other countries.
Germany, Australia, Mexico and Ireland have prominence here in the United States concerning beer.
-
Not Belgium???
Odd....
-
Belgium as well. The are a lot of good tasting beers in belgium, like the Kriek Lambic.

Not Belgium???
Odd....
Yeah, no one really has even heard of Belgium beers back in the states.

Hmm, I wonder..:Do they sell Hot'N'Sweet at the bar?
-

Well we are one of the better producers...
At the "Bier tempel" here in Brussels we have more than a 1000 of different brews..
Maybe someone should "educate" the US people by opening a shop of Belgian beers there??
-
I have tried, mind you, saying no one has heard of them is actually a bad statement. So people have, but it is mostly people that travel a lot. Personally, Duval and Leffe are some of my favorite beers.
-
My Fav beer is Tuborg or Odin, but both of them are Scandinavian and I doubt you'll find'em outside Scandinavia :x

I disagree on the Amstel part, but I agree on Heineken. But I still think Warsteiner (Germany) and Diekirch (Luxembourg) are the best!
-
I like Heineken... it's the best beer you can buy.... in the USA .... :>
-
The Belgian beers rule! Jupiler and Palm in particular. Also the Dutch beers like Bavaria en Dommelsch are quite good as well. But Heiniken... I'll only drink that if there's no other kind of beer to drink.
Anyway, what kind of beer is the best is and will always be diffirent for each person. ;)

Don't you forget the CZ-beers!
The black Budweiser (Budweiser Budvar tmavý ležák) from Plzen (where the name Pils comes from) is just perfect!

Dude! Tuborg was about the first beer I ever drank. Our local co-op used to sell it cheap; something like 99p for four cans (but that was a LONG time ago). It pretty much disappeared from the market, so far as I could see, until re-appearing a couple of years ago as a 'premium' import beer.
I still remember the old "choo-choo, choo-choo, choo-choo, choo-borg" tv adverts.
*mmmm Tuborg - now I'm thirsty :p *

Never had any CZ-beers... only Dutch, Belgian some German beers... :-\

I wasn't too fond of the Pauliner (sp?) I tried last year unfortunately, but the Jaeger sure made up for things. Hoping to try more new stuffs this year =^.^=

I have corrupted the locals, I went to the store today to get Jagermeister, and found out that they were nearly sold out, and had sold most of their stock just today... I wanted others to share my joy for Jager, but not if I can't get any!! Luckily, I found some, and me and it are kicking back and having a good weekend. :P
-
I'm planning on going down to the supermarket at the bottom of the hill and buying some bottles of booze and juices to make some of my custom cocktails, if anyone wants a try?
