I'm not sure; are there any beer conspiracies that might tickle his fancy?

We used to tell newbs at a place in Belguim that they had to skull one to be "in the club."

One guy actually made it (and kept it in).

If you're keen on the Belgian beers, Hoegaarden (correctly pronounced "who-har-den", but no one will know what you're talking about) is good and very drinkable on a hot day. Leffe makes some good stuff, but it's very flavorsome and borders on being syrupy, so not as good in the heat. Both are comparatively expensive in Aus. Then again so is Budweiser, so why not get the good stuff?

I think he'd say that Budwieser and all its various brands fool the American public by selling water.. This lack of alcohol keeps the public from questioning the official 9/11 report.

Did that make sense?

Not a massive Hoegaarden fan, although I did have a litre stein of one in Sydney once for the novelty effect - good for a warm day. Leffe is definitely worth a try.

I have a 'Bush' in the fridge at the moment that I'll be drinking sometime this weekend - the reason I only have one is the 12% alcohol content - powerful stuff for a beer.

thats probably the most overrated beer of all time...to me it is hardly different than coors light. i mean Duvel absolutely SUCKS.

in all honesty tho ive tried ALOT of beers in my time and i cant think of one that was more disappointing than Duvel.

Interesting, was it a one-off beer or have you had several? Over this Christmas period I've pretty much tried every beer I can get my hands on and nothing has impressed me more.

I've had a couple in a wine glass and if you close your eyes you could be mistaken for drinking an excellent white minus the acidity and with the addition of a few beer-like characteristics.

Haha - I invite those that don't know the difference to make the comparison (assuming you can get your hands on the rare and beautifully crafted Victoria Bitter)...

Ska: Pinstripe Red Ale.

Becks

Guinness

A couple Fosters (Australian for beer) now and again can't hurt either.

For me, VB spells beer (in Australian) better than Fosters ever did - thus their export size bottles geared at the London market...

i havent tried it again, so i guess it could have been a skunky bottle. another thing that pissed me off tho is it had the moast foaming of any beer ive ever seen, i poured literally like 2 ounces into the glass and the whole thing filled up and overflowed with foam immediately, you can wait 10 full minutes and there will still be a thick head on that shit.

Yes, it must be handled with care when pouring or you risk ruining it. For me, anytime you get 3/4 of a mouth full of foam it isn't great. Temp is important for this too, we all love having an icy beer (especially in today's heat) but this needs to be a touch warmer.
