Heineken seems like the worst sort of shite to my palate but of course some EU countries make some light beers we might call lager which are fine. I'm thinking Furstenberg. The cause of many a "problem". -- Hog

I remember around the beginning of the 80s when Red Stripe first appeared in the UK it was really nice, then it got popular enough that they started making it in the UK and suddenly it had that disgusting British lager taste like all the others. -- Jeremy R1200RT

Try it. The beer pops out all over the place. And since you were doing the pushing with your little finger (the only one that fits down the neck of the bottle) you now have beer all the way to your elbow, and you'll need to wash your shirt. This is why they wear teeshirts in Mexico. -- Jeremy R1200RT |
