I'm a real beer lover, but so far I only enjoyed Belgian, Dutch and German beers. What kind of beer do YOU drink, which do you love and/or enjoy?
I really love Hertog Jan and Verboden Vrucht.

Zlatorog (Laško) is the one I most commonly drink.
Guinness is the one I treat myself to on special occasions.
Kilkenny is the one I treat myself to if there's no Guinnes around.
Molson Canadian was the one I liked most on my trip to Canada.
Staropramen is one I'd really, really, not like to try again.
Union is one I'd also really, really have as little to do with as possible.
Heineken is decent enough to be considered an alternative in a shortage situation.
I also like trying out beers that certain pubs brew themselves.

Ah, Killkenny, Guinness and(of course) Heineken are the ones I know from that list
But it's great to drink Kwak with your friends

Kwak is served in special glasses, for which you have to trade in one of your shoes, so you can't run away with the glass! Then you drink till the bottom of the glass...but the last bit in your glass will land right in your face (because of the design of the glass!), so that's why it's KWAK

I usually go for the Danish beers and pilsners. Like Carlsberg and Tuborg Grøn. Though I love to test new types of beer when I get the chance. Like when I was in St. Petersburg on shore leave with a co-worker we found this place inside a forest with partytents and garden furniture where they sold pretty cheap beer. A pint for 25 rubels (about a US dollar), and they were all pretty good beers aswell, though I can't remember a single name of them...
Ah... the wonder of being drunk in a country where you can't comunicate with anyone...

Carlsberg is a good type of pilsner......
But it reminds me of a story, when I crashed 7 days long with an Italian family (exchange project from school)...they bought me a giant bottle of Heineken....I HATE HEINEKEN....

You know what's funny.....when friends of you are fake - drunk.
I bought a crate of Amstel Malt (non-alcohol) and removed all the labels.
We went to a lake and I put the crate in the water (to keep it cool), and he just started drinking.
After 8 bottles of (non -alcohol)beer, he starts singing, being happy and overall, being drunk...

Where to start?
I usually buy Becks when I'm drinking at home.
I drink Zywiec when I'm bowling.
I drink Innis & Gunn for a special treat.
I used to drink Carlsberg draft when I was out at the pub, but it's recently become import only, costs twice as much and doesn't taste as good...now I'm drinking cheap piss (read Molson Canadian) and hating it.

Blue moon beer, hands down. It's local (made and bottled in Boulder), but if you ever have a chance to taste is, you need to.
Also Tecate, just because I'm Mexican.

I enjoy a lot of beer, especially stouts and trappist beers. Guinness and Chimay are both excellent beers. When I just want to get drunk, Carlsberg Elephant does the trick. Or any generic beer, as long as it's not Tuborg or Carlsberg Sort Guld.

They call it safety beer or something. People get it when no accidents occur for the month. Also, one Christmas they got a gift of extra beer and a set of knives. So once they get drunk, they can have knives to play with. I swear it's their method of downsizing.

I'm sure they're not encouraged to drink while driving, that might be a bad thing, idk. It's just funny to me as out of any gift they gave them, it was free beer and knives. The beer itself is interesting, but I guess they figure "If we give them beer, they'll be happy. Happy people = working people." Or so goes those types of board meetings.

For foam I aim for a ratio of 80.34% of beer, 8.56% head(or foam), and 11.1% of whatever else might be in there.

Found the Beer thing I was blathering on about in my last reply in this forum. Read it, laugh, and go... ZOMGWTFNOWAI.
This week, a million fraternity brothers rushed to join NASA. The reason: scientists have discovered beer in space.
Well, not beer exactly. But they did find alcohol: ethyl alcohol, to be precise, the active ingredient in all major alcoholic drinks (antifreeze Jell-O shots, quite obviously, are exempted from this category). Three British scientists, Drs. Tom Millar, Geoffrey MacDonald and Rolf Habing, discovered this interstellar Everclear floating in a gas cloud in the contellation of Aquila (sign of the Eagle, the mascot of Anheuser-Busch! Hmmmmm).
Millar and his compatriots have estimated the size of this gas cloud at approximately 1,000 times the diameter of our own solar system; there's enough alcohol out there, they say, to make 400 trillion trillion pints of beer. These guys are British, mind you; if you were to translate this in terms of American beer (which the British, with some justification, regard as fermented club soda), the amount of potential brewski just about doubles.
In human terms: remember that double-keg party you threw at the end of your Junior year in college (the second Junior year)? Imagine throwing that same party, every eight hours, for the next 30 billion years. You'd STILL have beer left over. And boy, would YOUR bathroom be a mess! Simply put, no one could ever drink 400 trillion trillion pints of beer, except maybe Buffalo Bills fans.
The sheer volume of all this alcohol begs the question of how it managed to get out there in the first place. Despite the simplifying effect it has on the human brain, ethyl alcohol is a reasonably complex molecule: two carbon atoms, five hydrogen atoms, and a hydroxyl radical, all cavorting together in beery camaraderie. It's not a compound that is going to spontaneously arise out of the cold depths of space. It can lead to speculation: What is this cloud?
* It's God's beer. After all, He worked for six days creating the universe, and on the seventh day, He rested. And after you've had a hard week at the office, don't YOU grab a beer? Since man is made in God's image, it could be that this cloud is the remaining evidence of the first, best Miller Time.
* It's Purgatory ("400 trillion trillion bottles of beer on the wall, 400 trillion trillion bottles of beer! Take one down, pass it around, three hundred ninety-nine septillion, nine hundred ninety-nine sextillion, nine hundred ninety-nine quintillion, nine hundred ninety-nine quadrillion, nine hundred ninety-nine trillion, nine hundred ninety-nine billion, nine hundred ninety-nine million, nine hundred ninety-nine thousand, nine hundred ninety-nine, bottles of beer on the wall!")
* Proof of an undeniably highly advanced but chronically dipsomaniac alien society. This particular theory is shaky, however: it's reasonable to assume that if the aliens were going to construct a nebula of alcohol, they'd also have large clouds of Beer Nuts and pretzels nearby for snacking. Advanced spectral analysis has yet to locate them.
The truth of the matter, however, is far more prosaic. In the middle of this gas cloud is a young and no doubt quite inebriated star. As the star heats up and contracts, sucking the dust and gas of the cloud into a smaller area, complex molecules form as a result of greater interaction between the elements. Ethyl alcohol forms on small motes of dust in the cloud, and then, as the motes angle in closer towards the star and heat up, the alcohol is released from the motes in gaseous form. And there you have it: an alcohol cloud. Or, as Dave Bowman might say, "My God! It's full of booze!"
Enough with the science lesson, you say. Just tell me how to GET there! Sorry, Chuckles. You can't get there from here. The gas cloud (which, by the way, has the utterly romantic name of "G34.3") is 10,000 light years away: 58 quadrillion miles. Even if you hijacked the shuttle and headed out with thrusters on full, by the time you got there, the guy in Purgatory would be done with his tune. You'd have had time to work up a powerful thirst, but you'd also be, in a word, dead.
No, the Space Beer Cloud will have to wait for the far future, when men can leap through the universe at warp speed. One can only imagine what they will do when they get there:
Captain Kirk: My....GOD! Sulu! What....is....THAT?
Sulu: It's a free floating cloud of alcohol, sir.
Kirk: And we've just run out of Romulan Ale! Could
it be a trap, Bones?
Bones: Damn it, Jim! I'm a doctor, not a distiller
of fine spirits!
Kirk: We need that booze! But if we fly through that
cloud, we'll be too drunk to drive!
Spock: May I remind you, Jim, that I am a Vulcan.
We are a race of designated drivers.
Kirk: Well, all righty, then. Spock, drive us through!
Bones and I will be out on the hull. With our
mouths... open!
To boldly drink what no man has drunk before.
