What is the best BEER in the World?

[Cyberus]

I can second the tea vote. I drink peppermint tea, a few varities of green tea and sometimes even nettle tea. It's a bit hippy I know, but they're refreshing, invigorating, don't contain sugar,  and I think green tea is a good source of antioxidants.

Of course plenty of water, as Cecilia says, is a must.

Noone seems to have mentioned, that tea actually tastes good aswell. I've totally ditched coffee for tea.

Best beer in the world?

Hmm....if all you guys send me one bottle from your local brewery I can test them all and give you an answer. (In Germany there are like 900 local breweries, this is gonna take a long time) :-P

Seriously, I think Carlsberg rocks. From glass bottle that is, beverages in a can always has a different taste...and not to forget my local Brewery, Arendal's, which also is quite tasty :-)

In no particular order:

Hoegaarden - For a refreshing drink on a long hot summer day.
Kronenberg 1664 - For a refreshing drink on a long hot summer day.
Rolling Rock - For a refreshing drink on a long hot summer day.
Molsen Canadien - For a refreshing drink on a long hot summer day.

And my Iranian friend introduced me to a nice beer which I forget the name of, but is a great refreshing drink on a long hot summer day.

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!

You call THAT your local brewery? Tsk ;-).

But at the moment Grolsch is my favourite. Then again my judgement is slight Grolsch-impaired at the moment :-).

Go HERE
Click on 'Entrez' and it should open a new window. At the top of this window will be some menus (Of the computer kind) From the 'Dans vos Restos' menu, select 'la carte' and then click on 'boeuf' - there you will see the selection of beef burgers.
Ok ok, it doesn't have the 'with' part... :-)

Oh yes I do  :-) I live in Grimstad now, but have lived in Arendal for the first 24 years of my life. Anyhow, I can't afford to get drunk on beer from Nøgne Ø, so for my part I usually drink self-imported Carlsberg(Ahem! cough-cough) :-D

THAT'S the spirit! :-D
You would feel like home down here in Helsingborg! :lol:

@ 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? :-)

On a side note, the Quarterpounder is called Royal (mit käse :-))in Germany  
A McFeast is called TS Royal(tomat+salad royal...)

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:

[whabang]

I prefer the Big Tasty™, though.
