What is the best BEER in the World?

[Bobsonsirjonny]

Sorry to hear about your liver. I hope the condition can be maanaged and wont develop further.

As for Beer - it really depends on the situation.

If Im at an Amiga meet in town its gotta be Zlatopramen - though over here they have sadly corrupted the name to Starpramen. If its a cool summers everning its gotta be Hoegaarden. If I have a pint with a meal during the day, Corona works with most things. If I wish to get flat on my back its Stella. If its a BBQ,or Curry either something Belgium  - or a crisp Oriental/Asian beer. Kingfisher and Tiger and good. I dont really care for British beers much, and I totally abhore the burnt toast soup that is Guinness..

So as a rule - Belgium and Asian stuff rocks. Czech stuff is on the whole pretty good, but have tasted the odd Czech beer that reminded me of fermented cow {bleep}. British beers imho are thick, goopy, heavy..  (I am now about to be assasinated by the Campaign for Real Ale!)

But Im off all that at the moment - gotta get back to my fighting weight of 16 stone, and alcohol gets burnt before carbs or fat, and too much makes you feel like crap so you cant be arsed to go running or lifting anything.

Sadly they have corrupted 'Quarter Pounder with Cheese' to 'Royal with Cheese' in France :lol:

Thats a myth that Pulp Fiction propogated - its not called the Royal - they still call it the quarter pounder but with the french word for cheese.

As for names, while a name may be prounounced in an anglised way - for example I dont pronunce Hoegaarden properly - to change the name completely just seems wrong. It smacks of imperialism. An american friend of mine used to live over her as a child. She left in 1960 something and  came back during the 80's, on arrival she went into town, saw a Mcdonalds and it made her cry.. She said we had become too American. So as for brand names - Relish other cultures - including their beer!

@ Red

In my first year of university the local Aldi (cheap nasty German supermarket chain that sell cheap nasty food) sold Grolsch.. it was quite bizarre cos it was so cheap - worked out about 20p a bottle! Looks like the brewery was trying to find a British outlet for it... Now its really popular, in every supermarket.. Its £3.50 for just a litre and a half.. go to a pub in Cardiff and its getting on for £4 a pint.

Im so pissed off everyone found out about these lovely foreign beers cos its the only stuff I drink.. It now costs me loads!

@ Bloodline

Hoegaarden ROCKS! its a beautiful beer - but the rest.. Kronenburg is minging.. and the rest is gnats piss!

@ Cyberius

I had a bet with a mate about it - he said pulp fiction was wrong, I said it was right. We were in a Mcdnoalds in the airport in France and it said Quarter.. I lost and had to buy all the food...

@Bobson

Right, so perhaps you were both correct in a sense. I wouldn't be surprised if it did say Quarter at the airport, since a huge proportion of people passing through won't be French. However, if you walk into a McDonalds (ouch!) in France, you'll find that its called a Royal, so overall you were right....
Perhaps you should get half of your bet back? :-)

Bloody METRIC system.. I should have thought.. Right he owes me two Quarter pounder's with cheese (Royals for the metrified :-P ) .. a big mac, and 4 large fries.... or I could take heart from after all that his arteries being more furry than mine :-D  :lol:

The Big Tasty is a poor attempt at the  Whopper, as the Big King is a poor attempt at the Big Mac.

Its the mustardy peppered mayonaise that Mcdonalds put on the big tastey that bugs me - it over powers it, and desimates the taste of anything else. Here there are about 7 Mcdonalds in an 8 mile radius its crazy.. but if I want a burger king I need to head to Cardiff - not a prob cos its only a 10 min ride down the motorway. But we recently got Subways too - and two KFC'c have oppened up.. and they wonder why in a UK town a rat in no more than 50 meters away from you. {bleep} Chaver kids throwing their litter on the floor... Can any of them cook? Or do they just live off this processed rubbish? Bah... :-P

All joking apart though, it amases me that some families eat at Mcdonlads three times a day. For a start to eat it that often is not a healthy balanced diet. Its also bloody expensive to be spending £9 a head on food each day..
