I dunno. I guess you always pay for it in the end, one way or another ;-)

hm, guess you're right
twas always the gratitude for this or that
anyhoo, tis for that moment free, and you can drink as much as you like
you know, tis the idea behind it
When I was in Germany with a couple of friends, we once got free beer from a German political campaign :-)

That is not true! I tried the free beer this Saturday and well... I regretted it the whole Sunday and part of this morning too. And then I will have "Did I really say that?"- and "Did I really do that?"-flashbacks for a week or two.

So... no... Beer should be rather costly. :-D

But... as to get back on topic. My vote goes for:
Pilsner Urquell

Edit: When I come to think of it perhaps the free beer wasn't so bad after all. It was the free drinks, wine and ciders that messed it up. :-D

@Bezzen,

tis temporarily the best beer :-)

Some interesting ones to try, if you get the chance:

Fraoch, heather ale (from Scotland)
Baadog, Mongolian beer (err, from Mongolia, although the stuff I had seemed to suggest it was brewed in Thailand :-?)

There are a couple others that I liked when I was in the Baltics:
Alderis Porteris (Latvian)
[Porter is made from burnt hops and is the precursor to stout (like Guinness) - I think it acquired its name because it was purportedly drunk by the porters working in Covent Garden, London]
Zyvturo Ekstra (Lithuanian)

I saw tons of Finns with tons of boxes of Lapin Kulta on the ferry from Tallinn to Helsinki, but I've never tried it.

I also used to have a poster for Tuborg Ol (insert proper Danish characters) on my wall, but I never tried that either....

Germany does.

More precisely:
Go to Cologne and try a barrel of (Malz-) Mühlen-Kölsch!

If Im at an Amiga meet in town its gotta be Zlatopramen - though over here they have sadly corrupted the name to Starpramen.

Hmm, why 'sadly corrupted the name'? Star of Prague is a great name.
'Zlat' I think is Czech for 'Guild' (?), but people market things differently worldwide all the time.

...

If you want travesty, then look at the way that the original Czech Budweiser lost its name to some gnats piss.

You're both wrong:
1. Staropramen and Zlatopramen are different beers
2. Staropramen means 'old spring' (great name for a brewery?!)

But, I fully agree with the Bud thing...

have you tried that manky 'Grozet'? What's with gooseberry ale?

Faxx, a Danish Beer, served in 1 Litre (Yes you did just read that correctly) tins.

Very very nice stuff, even when warm.

Wiesbier (or however its spelled) is superb also.

Though my all time favourate was a brew my Grandmother made up about 5 years ago as a one off, utterly evil stuff (It got you from the legs up, you head being the last to be hit) and a great taste :-)

I must admit however I do prefer wine, always have, always will.

Says the person drinking a can of Centurion.

Root Beer! :-D :-D :-D

Budvar is my personal fave, it's like Stella in sweetness but seems less chemical tasting and more crisp. Must leave the boozage too though, or Bobson won't have a training partner.
