I've still got about a case of empties of those down the basement.  I think they are maybe worth about $1 each to a collector.

I liked a smooth heat beer there best, but like I say,  it's the buzz that I'm really looking for.  I like to ride after 2-3 beers.  Makes things more enjoyable, IMHO.   ;)
 
There is politically correct, politically incorrect, and just plain wrong.  This falls into the "just plain wrong" category.


I think that what is ""just plain wrong"" is that you're not reading it right.  Your comment is on something that is a wrong assumption on your part.  You didn't read the emotion-con into Randy's answer.  It's winking.  He's not 100% expecting you to believe him.  You bit and posted a ""just plain wrong"" assumption.  TROLL.

Try Pig's Eye beer if you ever get to Minnesota (although it's made in Wisconsin now since the Minnesot Brewing Company went out of business a few years back).  Pig's Eye was the original name of St. Paul, Minnesota.

Isn't that made from potatos? I use to get that up in Pa. Good Beer.

I really like Warsteiner Premium Dunkel.  I'm not normally a dark beer drinker but that beer is good.

If you ever come to Belgium, try one of their dark triples !

They run around 7 to 10 rpm (Alcohol,  ;)) If you´re not aware of that and have three or four in a row, you really get blitzed !

(I know what I´m talking about!)

deja vu all over again, this is so much like a favorite beer thread from 4 months ago

Oh yeah, it's still Medalla



Medalla?  My friends in PR say they only make that for the tourists!  No one that lives there will touch the stuff!  I didnt think it was THAT bad but wouldnt call it a favorite.

I used to snag the small bottles of Gouden Carolus(sp?) an the bar where I worked, at $6 a 10oz bottle (in 1984) they never sold. :D

Bottled imports - give me a Newcastle Ale or a Samuel Smith Taddy Porter.  IMO, freshness in beer is everything, I try to stick with the local fare - Deschutes Twilight Ale is the current fave.

Italian Beers? :P     Would you eat a British Pizza? ;D

Absolute worst pizza is in the cafe at Chiang Kai Shek International Airport.  The whole thing is sweet.  Dough is like cookie dough with a sweet tomato paste topped with very little pink cubes of luncheon meat.  My brother ordered it and I thought he was nuts! ::)  Kind of like expecting good Chinese food in Wyoming.  Okay but not good.  Austrian pizza is kinda bizzare.  ¹/² whole boiled eggs with spinach as a topping.

From way out west-decent pilsner beers for the warm weather;
Sapporo (Japanese), Hinano (Samoan), Tsing Tao (Chinese), Steinlager (New Zealand).  The local brew pub stuff is good too!  Kona Brewing Company.

Carta Blanca

A lot of you really seem to like Sierra Nev Pale ale,  I don't find that stuff so good.

Actually I got one of the best pizzas ever in London. But english ale???? Thank you Ma'm, but Im no thirsty. But a pizza ruccola and parmeggiano in Tropea can never be wrong.
The Nastro Azurro will be alright as the companion, but always preffer the local red. Almost, that is ;D

Well today I watched Italy vs Australia. I had one six pack of nastro azzurro the great peroni then a six pack of becker followed by a six pack of coors. Well not only do the Italians make the best m/c, they also make the best beer. The coors tested more like soda pop and the german beer was a little too aggressive as usual. Viva Italia, viva Italia the land of good taste and beautiful woman, great m/c and lousey management. Sorry Mr. Pete Roper but your team sucks big time, even with the ref on their side they sucked.

Ciao & as always be safe

That's some great sport if you have to get S-faced to watch it.
What is the custom,
slam a six-pack after each point scored? :D

That explains the fan riots, as well.

Todd........whats wrong with a little riot now and then, are you unsociable or something. What bugs you about soccer, is it that you dont understand it or you dont want to understand it.  As the old saying goes, when you think everybody else is wrong, better start looking at yourself.

Ciao & BE safe

Molto,
I am no big fan of any spectator sport.
I played soccer for a year or two as a kid.
I understand the basics of the game, and can appreciate
it being played well.
I do not find it interesting on TV.
Not baseball, football('murrican style), basketball,
golf, poker, etc.
Overpaid crybabies in my book.

When I was a kid in Dallas(1972), my best friend's dad played for the Cowboys.
Caught a TD in the Super Bowl, is now in the Hall of Fame.
He was just Mr. Alworth to me. He was no millionaire, 
just an ordinary guy. With a Corvette and a hot trophy wife. ;D

I was a fan for several years, but got turned off by the thug
mentality that now rules pro sports in the US.

If you're a fan, have a party.
Sorry if I rained on your parade. It was meant in jest.

p.s, I never cease to be amazed when the field goal kicker lines up for
the last-second game-deciding kick.
Both sides--- Pray??? WTF. :o :o :o
God likes my football team more than yours.  Gimme a break ::)

from Wikipedia

Carefully read the first line  ;D

In Belgium you don't order 'a beer'.  Would be the same as asking for a 'glas of wine' in a French restaurant.

If anyone of you ever comes to my hometown Bruges in Belgium, you're invited to a local pub where they serve over 100 brand of local beers ::)

You were in Loppem?  And you didn't come over to my place??? Damn...I was born and raised in Loppem, left it when I maried in 79 and still live not more than 5 kms away.  I suppose you stayed near 'De Strooien Hane' during the international bike meeting?

Hi Frans,

ever once in a while we stay a week or so in De Haan. Next time I meet you in Brugge, there´s a little shop at the corner of the Central Place, they sell about 1 million different kinds of beer and other related stuff.

See you there !

Cheers
