What is the Best Beer in the World Poll

[Bucksnort101]

Yes, we can get Pilsner Urquell over here, I have bought it on a couple occasions. Both times it had gotten skunked (skunky smell) from either the trip over or the liqour store putting it out in the sunlight which causes the beer to skunk from exposure through the green glass that it is bottled in. Been trying to find a local pub that serves it from a keg so I can get away from those pesky green bottles that let the light in and cause it to smell funky. Really throws the taste off when all you smell is a skunk.

Czech beer is the best for bottled beer that can be purchased.

But I make the best beer I've ever tasted. A medium IPA that I put in Imperial pint bottles for 30 days minimum. Once chilled that stuff is the stuff of dreams.

When I buy beer these days, I either get Stella Artois or MGD.

You better send me a bottle or two, I can give you a second opinion

Stella belongs under the same group as Czech Staropramen here since few years ago.Unfortunately. So some pubs which are selling Staropramen try to offer and sell Stella as well...but...if you drink our Czech beer like me since 15 and I´m 36 now there´s no chance for you to convince your brain and stomach that Stella is good. Stella is just more expensive that Pilsener here but you can´t compare those quality... it´s like to compare a P-51 with Sopwith Camel...

I haven´t read your message carefuly and completely...so now I know what do you mean. Anyway, the best beer for me is the beer on tap. I don´t like the bottle beer much.

Try to ask for Czechvar (Budvar) and let me know...

 

[Bucksnort101]

Not sure I can get Budvar in the States? Something to do with that big evil Anheiser-Busch/Budweiser Corporation? Maybe not, I'll have to check with the local dealer that carries Imports.

Budvar is a great bear. It is the real Budweiser. Not that piss water that Anheiser-Busch makes.

By the way I drank a nice Bavarian Hefeweizen today. Not sure what brand, but excellent in flavor and very refreshing.

 

[Bucksnort101]

I'd rather drink the "Piss Water" you refer to than an American Budweiser!!! Nasty stuff. Looks like I'll have to break out the Home Brewing equipement again and brew some of my own Behemian Pilsner. Last batch I did several years ago was pretty tasty, but did not have the authentic thing to compare it to.
Looks like I'll have to start saving my pennies so I can go on that European Beer Drinking tour I keep thinking about.

Bucksnort, have you seen this? http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/off-topic-misc/new-beer-me-czechvar-11071.html

Bucks, I just checked the thread I sent a link to and you were there...
So it´s on time to get Czechvar and tell me your opinion...

 

[Bucksnort101]

Thanks Roman, I actually just saw that thread and commented. Look like a trip down the road to the only place in town that may carry it. Just when I was kick starting my weight loss plan again!!! I gain weight just reading the labels on beer bottles.

Bucksnort,
Make it the end of September/early October. Oktoberfest in Munich, can't get any better party than that!!

A great party, but not a very good beer. Yeah the beer is not bad, but compared to most beers in Germany the Oktoberfest beer is not very good.

 

[gumbyk]

There's about half a dozen beer tents from what I remember (it is all a bit fuzzy for some reason), so you do get some choice, but, yeah, the quantities they have to make must mean that some quality has to be sacrificed. It still beats most beers hands-down.

Any suggestions for a decent American beer? I'm heading up to Vegas in a couple of weeks.

 

[Bucksnort101]

Stay away from the mass produced American Beers, nasty stuff and if your accustomed to European Beer you won't even recognize it for beer.
Biggest fad in the last few years is highly hopped and bitter beers. IPA's, Double, and even Triple IPA's. It's an aquired taste though, but worth the try.
I can't get you too much information on what's available from work, I'll try to remember when I get home and see if I can get some recommendations on things to looks for in the Vegas area.
Not sure what the Casinos have to offer as I have never been there.

The Stone Brewery has some excellent IPA's.

Stone Brewing Co.

I've been drinking their double IPA's for a year now and enjoy them. The triple IPA's are a bit to much though.

The only decent beer you will get at the Oktoberfest is Augustiner. Very good beer. I sometimes buy it by the case.

 

[gumbyk]

I only remember the Hoffbrau and Lowenbrau tents. Luckily I had my wife with me to make sure I got home!!

Thanks Bucksnort, and Sys, I quite like a good PA or Pilsener, so it sounds like there should be something decent to drink
