Have you ever tried Hefe-Weizen with bananajuice? You MUST do that, even if it sounds awful it´s the only way I like to drink beer. Where in Germany did you stay?

I'll try anything, put lemon and a piece of rice in it now, why not banana juice???

I lived in a place (not big enough to be called a town) called Ebersbach, bei Vilseck near Grafenwoehr. About 50 min. North of Munchen. Bavaria. Absolutely love Germany. Was there for 4.5 years. Really got to live amongst the Germans and experience thier Bavarian culture. The town I lived in was very old, and they held on to the old customs but would always come and knock on our door to come out and participate with them. Very good people. I didn't speak a bit of German when I got there and even when I was learning, they had a thick dialect. But we managed.

Recently found a bar in E. Hartford called the Half Door that has a full selection of Hefe-Weizen, but they don't have Weizen glasses or know how to pour it. J. Timothy's in New Britain also have it but when I asked the bartender if he knew how to pour it (because I would prefer to do it myself if he didn't) he said "of course!" and proceeded to ruin the pour of the bottle. I was pissed, charged me 6.50 for that beer! Ug. I degress...

Guys n Gal's you've been duped!

O-ring is just trolling by proclaiming his poor choice of "finer beverages" so that everyone will take pity on him. Just look at all of the "If you ever come this way I'll take you out and buy you a brand XXXX." He'll be drinking free for the rest of the year.

Shoot, he's even got some of the women offering to take him out and get him drunk! Then he will be able to claim the next morning "Wow! You're local stuff sure packs a punch, hope I didn't act inappropriate cuz I don't remember a thing!"

Hey Jepuskar, you are being outrolled! Take notes buddy, take notes...

Ah, but *have* we been duped? A good troll provides at least a beer's worth of enjoyment...

Well of course Jep's being outtrolled - up until now (and what is he up to, I wonder?) he lacked subtelty. It wasn't all that long ago that you guys were explaining to him just what a troll *was*.
I guess I'm supposed to be "some of the women". CD - look at a map of N. America. See DC? Now find Edmonton. Note distance. That's a looong way to go for a free drink (and if one round of Trad will get O-ring drunk then he really *has* been drinking only Coors Light and thus is not trolling, poor thing).
Tell you what, C.D. - if you make it all the way up here I'll buy you a round too :kitty:

O-ring: thanks for reminding me of that movie - it's been a while. I needed to smile today after all the bad news. May you always find a mouse in your two-four. Just keep in mind that they only talk like that (sometimes) in Northern Ontario, eh?

Thanks for the offer, but I don't drink. But I do eat, so you can always buy me dinner instead!

Does your bar sell Schneider Weiss? If not get them to order some. This is IMHO the prince of German wheat beers. It's brewed in Berlin.

I prefer the Bavarian brews but I'll give it a try. Maybe I'll try more than one!

Maybe we should all wote for Irshdiver for beermoderator TM ?

I love Guiness. I was tought (in Ireland) that you have to drink 10 pints to know if you like it or not! So it is an aquired taste. Luckly you don´t have to drink it all in one session - or you'll require a massive hang over too.

There are plenty of good beer out there. Ever tried the Belgish beers? They have a wonderfull taste and the worst of them pack roughly 12% alcohol:bonk:

The worst beer experience I ever had was in the states (no surprice here). In Cal. I asked for a local beer and recieve som cocotion of a foamy substans with a sweet taste of raspberry :livid: For a Guiness lower, that's a chock to the system. But I should have known they migt consider it a "girly" beer. The things you have to suffer for be female.

I hereby nominate Irishdiver for beer *immoderator*. Any time we mention beer on the board he's allowed to step in and tell us that we're drinking insufficient beer, or the wrong kind. Should keep him busy and out of trouble :kitty:

God, I love this woman. Damedykker, where have you been all my life?

Okay, I'm back after a hectic weekend which DIDN'T involve copious amounts of Guinness (but did involve lots of Aussie wine, Scubaroo! BTW, what's the chances of an introduction to Kylie Minogue? Or any of her sisters?...I'm not fussy)

I'm disappointed to see so few declarations of support for my position as moderator, but hey - I know that each and every one of you has sent a PM to KN and LD in support of my candidacy. For that, I thank you (not!).

As for this drink thing you all seem to have fastened on: have you people never heard of alcoholics anonymous? And Spectre...I'm surprised at you. As a moderator-elect, I'm planning on being a model of sobriety for all those Scubaboard members who will be delivered unto my tender mercies. I would hope you would be able to aspire to these high standards also, but the first step is to admit that you have a problem. I'm here for you, man.

Having said that, IMHO, until you've drunk Guinness in Ireland, you can't honestly say you know what it tastes like. The stuff they export to your poor SOBs is p*ss-poor and bears no resemblance to the real stuff that can put hair on your chest (even the ladies). I have tasted it abroad on a number of occasions. Now, when I see it advertised abroad, I give it a wide berth. You folks are deprived of one of life's greatest pleasures!

Apart from those living in Ireland's 'second capital', Cork, where Murphy's is brewed, this stuff is a poor runner-up to Guinness. As for Kilkenny...I don't think they even sell that stuff here any more. It's dreadful and you will not make yourself popular in an Irish pub asking for it. Strictly for export. Drinkers of Kilkenny - do not pass GO...do not collect $200.

BANANA JUICE? Shell, please don't do it...life's not all that bad. You'll look at things differently tomorrow, I promise...

Hey ID you can't be the beer(im)moderator if you'r going to counsel sobriety!!

And I learned to drink Guiness in Doolin (at least the first couble of pints). Maybe this same track thinking is in the stars (which I otherwise don't belive) as we share a birthday! Did you have a good one?

Cheers (or as we say locally: Skål!)
