Well I tried the Hoegaarden last night. Not a fan.

*edit* After doing some reading ,I think I poured it wrong or something, cause it had very little head on it, and what was there disappeared very quickly. At the risk of sounding crass, I a like good head.

It seems this particular beer should have had one.

And, as a bit of useless trivia, check this out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer_co...ion_by_country

*edit#2* Ok, apparently this beer was supposed to be a pale gold colour when poured, and it was not - it was quite a bit darker than that. Perhaps I got a dud? Hmm...maybe I'll give it a second try one day to find out. In the meantime, I have 5 more newbies to try out.

Ok, so last night I had the Grolsch and then the Kronenbourg 1664. The Grolsch was quite tasty, nice head, much more like how I'm used to beer tasting (being a lager). It had an odd taste to it, but I'm not enough of a beer connoisseur to be able to pinpoint what it was.

Then I had the Kronenbourg, which honestly had very little taste - which made it very, very easy to drink. But really, I might as well have been drinking flavoured water.

I think it'd be categorised as p*ss beer. Entirely drinkable, but I don't consider it worth the effort.

Darling, you simply haven't had beer until you've had Sarajevsko Pivo (Sarajevo Beer).

Not only is Sarajevska Pivara (Sarajevo Brewery) produce Sarajevsko Pivo, they also produce all these other great drinks:

And this is the beautiful brewery in downtown Sarajevo, Bosnia, where the world's best beer is made:

Hi Sunstone,

I have posted much around here for a long time, but beer is always worth posting about.

My favorite is Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. In general I like the bitter ales. In my opinion, the best beer recipes in the world originated in Great Britian.

In Russia, it's considered a soft drink and about as likely to get you drunk as Pepsi.

Give me whisky or rum and then we'll talk business.

A nice Guiness helps pass the time at the pub, though.

Gulder and Star (Nigerian beers) have just the right amount of formaldehyde to make sure my innards remain preserved for posterity. mmmmm...formaldelicious!

I am long past the age when getting drunk amuses me, O Noble Captain!

Sierra Nevada has some good beer. I really enjoyed their Stout and Porter. I think I've had the Pale Ale, but I can't remember.
