Thanks for the heads up, but fyi, it's not the real thing. It's brewed differently

Says "product of Phillipines" on the carton. I'm having one right now, but you're probably right- there's a difference in most foreign beers in how taste when you're there vs. here in the States. I had Spaten in Munich- thought it was the best beer ever at the time- then found it here and it just wasn't the same

Strictly water & diet Pepsi - Am planning to take the Napa valley tour and try to find out what (if any) wines I might like - never cared too much for the aftertaste of beer, though I have actually finished a bottle of Heineken or Coors in the past.

WOW! I thought I knew beer! You guys are going to make me try EVERYTHING now...Quite a few I havent heard of!

Just off the top of my head,

Singha (Thai... )
Stella Act a Twat (Artois)
Heineken, Grolsch (tie)
Kirin (Japan)
Hite (Korea)

And if one of my Norway friends can help me out, whatever beer that is thats on ALL the taps in Oslo.. I cant remember, and theres a good reason for that...

Carlsberg Dark...had it for the first time last week in Copenhagen... OH MY GOSH...

My latest favorite would have to be Jim Beam Rye, much smoother than regular Beam.

Next time I'm out yachting or playing tennis I will positively be trying a Flo-Jay....can it be any brand of "Fordy"?

Ever try mixing half beer, half 7UP? It's kind of what the Brits call a Shandy.

Yea it can be any brand, we use Colt 45. I hope no one has the wrong opinion of me now, My friends and I arent a bunch of white kids with baggy jeans and sideways New Era baseball caps with the stickers still on, we dont sit around and drink "Fordy's" lol, its just something different that the same old stuff
