Beer

Tonight: visiting the best extra beer source, G-Roby shop...

[CTG]

CTG, have you never tasted Tesco Economy beer??? (Nowadays they call it Viking.) I think it's the cheapest beer in Hungary. Its quality is something like Koccint?s wine - but you won't get drunk, because it contains only 3% alcohol!

Schlossmühle is cheaper.

New beer tasted:

Adelsburg (HUN) 1/10

Are you, one day, going to stop tasting new beers, look at your list and start just drinking the ones that are rated highly and priced low?

We do already. Testing is only the 10 percent of my beer intake.

Another beer combo:

San Miguel (ESP, 5.4% alcohol, 399 HUF/0.5 l): I don't know if I tried this already earlier or not - so I had to taste it again(?). Not very characteristic, average taste, good for warm days. Mark: 5.5/10

1664 Blanc (FRA, 5% alcohol, 319 HUF/0.25 l): not exactly a beer - it contains added spices: orange, coriander. Excellent taste but it's really not beerish. Mark: unofficial 10/10, don't add it to the rankings.

Satan Red (BEL, 8% alcohol, 539 HUF/0.33 l): Belgian and strong - quite a usual one. Nothing more. Mark: 7.5/10

I can't do it this time, but next traveling time I may bring some Chinese beers for you to include in the rankings.

Very nice offer but I'm a bit afraid of Chinese alcoholic drinks - Jacky told some terrible things about it... (not beer, but Er Gou Tou, the gasoline taste wine).

Btw I'm drinking Tokaji Aranyfürt wine at the moment (semi-sweet, very tasteful).

Anyway from now this topic is open for other alcoholic drinks too - feel free to post about pálinka, whisky, wine, vodka, cherry, absinth, brandy, etc...

I have just returned from a fancy supermarket, where tinned (355ml) Chinese beers range from HUF 50 to 100, and there were several Korean and Japanese available as well...

I have bought a Tsingtao and a Shanshui for my brother.

[BonzaiJoe]

Tsingtao is really good, but it's big, you can also get it in Europe. Yanjing is another classic chinese beer which is reasonably good. From Japan, I only remember Asahi. I hope you're having a great trip

But 'Beer' topic title sounds still better...

I have just returned from the local massage saloon, where I had a 2 hour long Chinese massage with a beautiful girl (of course without the here-so-common "happy ending"!) followed by a seafood dinner on the seashore, so I just couldn't be any better.

Love this country.

of course without the here-so-common "happy ending"!

I wonder why people forgot to make silly jokes from this...

Two newbies and an almost forgotten one from 2006:

Lasko Zlatorog (SLO, 4.9 % alcohol, 179 HUF/0.5 l): average beer for a warm day. Quality is something like Borsodi or Soproni. Mark: 5.5/10

Baltika No. 7 (RUS, 5.4% alcohol, 579 HUF/0.5 l): not very strong but tasteful refreshing light beer from Russia. What a shame, it's too expensive... Mark: 7.5/10

Info for Usrin: these are available in Auchan (Savoya Park) - thanks to Parador Co. There are also some unusual beer from Belgium (several brands), France (several brands), Portugal (Sagres), Vietnam (Saigon), Japan, Romania...

And the old one:

El Grande (FRA, 5.9% alcohol, don't remember the price, maybe ~350 HUF/0.33 l two years ago): contains added rum which gives quite a good taste to this beer. Not my favorite but it was worth to try. Mark: 8/10

And so many beers are missing from my rankings tried in 2006: Schöfferhofer, Köstritzer Schwarzbier, Wernesgrüner, etc... I can't really remember them.
