What's your favourite beer?
 

Mine's usually the cheapest in the shop. But if I'm feeling particularly decadent, I'll have a Czech "Budvar." The real Budweiser. We can't get Stella Artois here, but I do like that too. German beer is good, of course. König Pilsner and Diebel's Alt were particular favourites of mine when I lived in Krautland. Damn it, even (Girl Next Door's) DAB is a fine drop. The Schumacher Brewery in Düsseldorf is the only good reason to visit that godforsaken town and any Bavarian Weissbier is always worth a glug.

Stupid Finnish law forbids the sale of any brew over 4.7% proof in the supermarket here. One has to go to the fucking state monopoly booze shop "ALKO" to buy good beer or wine or booze, and it ain't cheap.

Guinness of course !!

I like too many of them... so I can tell you what is my favourite beer today, but tomorrow I'll have another one preference...
so now I think I can't live without Gulden Draak...

I also like to many to say which is my favorite. A lot of micro breweries has opened in Denmark the last 5 years and they have caused a revolution in beer quality (and the amount of beer drinkers). 10 years ago in Denmark you could only get about 10 foreign beers and now i can spend ages in the supermarket because i can´t choose from all the really good beer. Luxury problem :)

Guinness. Damn it. I love Guinness. FAAAR too expensive, but I think I'll get a couple tonight.

Lorenzo. Is there any good Italian beer?

Cheers Onkel. Btw, how's that homebrewed analogue synth coming along?

There are a lot pils and light beer here in Italy, but there is a place here in my region called Sauris (a little town in the mountains) where they produce "wholemeal" (hope this is the correct word) beer that is simply fantastic: "Integrale di Sauris"

Mine's Suntory Joukinama - not actually beer, but a synthetic wine that tastes like beer to avoid tax. Makes it nice and cheap (well cheap for Japan) and has a nice 5% impact.

And yes, it does taste like beer - even more so after the first few. :)

On a hot day... Corona

When I'm out with people, I usually drink whatever everyone else is drinking. It makes buying rounds much much easier when everyone is drinking the same thing.

Mine is...


Duff!

Synthetic beer? Sounds delicious. It has to cause cancer.

My favourite is Karhu. Too bad that it's the most expensive Finnish big brewery beer. On the hifi beers my favourite are Leffes.

Karhu's too sweet. Tastes like shit. Unless you're already drunk. But as I said, all Finnish beer is piss poor.

If you think Karhu III is sweet then you probably love Karhu IVA. That has to be the sweetest beer on the planet. I believe they add honey in it.

Olvi IVA is ok on the stronger versions, although Olvi is considered Finnish Budweiser as the III version tastes like mineral water.

Nah. It's not poor. It's just too middle class for demanding for-taste drinkers, so I wouldn't recommend Finnish beers for beer drinkers who seek luxury taste experience. Afterall the most important ingredient in beer for Finns is the alcohol. Hoho. Have you tasted any of the Finnish small brewery beers?

But what about the worst beer you have ever tasted? For me it has to be the excuse that is sold in bottles in Lidl. Easily the cheapest beer around and you can taste why. It's not tasteless like other cheap beers - It's much like the opposite. It tastes like the end of the world.

Juho. I had some great beer in the Kappeli on the Esplanade in Hki a few years ago. They had their own micro brewery back then. Dunno if they still do it. And one of my students' grandmothers made some wicked sahti, which I was delighted to be given a bottle of. I actually do like Finnish beer, but not kolmas. Has to be a IV. It's so ridiculous that you can't buy it in the shop. This country is a great place, but at times maddening. ;)

We do make some fine beer here in Dortmund..But the best beer in the world for many including myself is Krombacher Pils (German beer) It's lush...
I visited the US a few months ago and i must say they make the crapest beer i've ever tasted..i was Glad i could get Heineken in the Shops there..

Mate, do you still do the gold label Export DAB? I've had a few Kastens of them.

It´s almost done but i haven´t worked on it for a while becuase i moved to a new apartment not long ago and we are still not 100% in place. It is however playable and i built it into a nice 2 rack case. There is however some shitty pots that needs to be changed. Sometimes i have to bang the case og pull some wires to make work right. Also my home made spring reverb curcuit is pretty noisy. Other than that it´s great. I still need to make a sample & hold curcuit, and connect some more CV inputs and an external powersupply (instead of 2x9V batteries). I can post some samples if i get some time...

There's a place here in Christchurch called the Twisted Hop that is one of only two places in NZ that brew real ales and they are pretty fucking tasty.
