Stiegl Goldbräu for most of the food and the early evening drinking
Guiness or Guinness Ice Cold for the late night drinking
And as usual and hommage to the late Gammelbrygd which probably was one of the best brews in the world. Brewed in November each year, aged and then sold from April the following year. A lovely vintage brew and the only beer that could be aged more than 6 years and still be perfect. During the glorious era of 1986 to 1996 I consumed a large portion of the annual production it seems. I still think about this long lost friend of mine.

Finally a thread worth replying to!!!

DK Beer Does Rule.
Hello Hoffmeyer,
Six years ago, I spent 3 months enjoying the length and breadth of Denmark in a borrowed Skoda car, and enjoyed beer from all over Denmark, and I agree that DK beers are very nice, and that the smaller local breweries make nicer beers than the major ones.
Eric / - Never had a bad beer in DK - the snapps is not bad either.

Hi!
My all-time favourite is (of course) from my hometown Dortmund (one of the oldest brewing traditions in the world)
Hövels Bitterbier
Then there's also french "1664", Greek "Mythos", Sardegna "Ichnusa", and "Trompe La Mort".
Yeah, I also like the Trappiste beer, monks quite know what they do when it comes to brewing beer...
I think I'll have one right away...
No, stop it, has to wait until friday...!!!...
G' night,
Arndt

mrfeedback, thank you for your kind words.
I agree with you, that our major breweries makes boring beer, or at least used to.
They've learned, and are now trying to catch up on lost ground
It's just too sad, that Carlsberg won't take it all the way. The other day I tasted their new brew from their Semper Arden series, a Choclate Stout, with english liquorice. Didn't taste much of chocolate, even though it's Valrone, and had the usual Carlsberg after-taste bitternes
What a shame they can't make it better, now they're trying.

Brewing beer
Did someone mention homebrew...
I used to brew my own beer. With lots of care, you can brew some excellent beers. I got to the point of buying sacks of malted barley and culturing my own yeast.
However, this got to be very time-consuming and once the kids came, I returned to buying beer again.
Now i've started making mead (honey wine). It'ss less time-consuming, but requires a lot more patience.

Aussie Beer, Anyone?
Since we have a fair contingent from down under , how do you chaps like XXXX there? I remember it from a few years back: on one occasion we had a stray case shipped to California (friend in NZ).
I'd guess Foster's Lager is regarded much the same as Bud in the States... pity the North American offering is a Canadian version- no quite the same thing. If I want a nice Canadian lager I find plenty of Labatts and Moosehead when visiting my Mum. She is a true Canadian: a hockey and beer fan, of course.
Newcastle Brown Ale is nice, and it sports the phrase "The One And Only" on the glass too.
I must agree the monks understand a thing or two about ales- Chimay is quite nice.
Cheers,
Bob
