Erdinger weiss has been mentioned a few times on this thread, I used to work in Threshers (now wine rack) where we sold another Weizen by the name of Wheinstephaner. Once I tasted Wheinstephaner I couldn't go back to Erdinger.

WTF has happened to Stella? Not the rubbish manufactured over here by Interbrew Ltd but the real one from Leuvan. It's down to 5% ABV and tastes like shit.
"However, a spokesman for Heineken revealed that there would be a "double digit percentage increase" in the amount spent in support of brands through the year."
Aren't you pleased to know that their extra advertising urging you to buy more of their chemicals ....... will
be paid for by YOU, the mug punter.
Heineken, Fosters and John Smiths, I no longer support violent direct action, but if i did, i would probably target that useless over fizzy bunch of fake beers.
[cite]Posted By: Oggy Red[/cite]I had a stunning pint of Otter ale in my village local last night.
Kept beautifully, bitter and hoppy, good natural head.
Drank in front of a roaring open fire.
Oggy - for those of us who have not yet grown sufficient cojones to escape city life for dream living in the West Country, any chance you could keep it down a bit?!

here am i on a packed commuter train on my way home from a day in the office. I can't put into words how good your scenario sounds right now.
Well, Alex ........ that was last night.
Right now, I'm muddling through my book keeping, desperately trying to get everything in order because my accountant is giving me a hard time. Tax return has got to be in by the end of the month.
So picture me in the tiny home office in my old cottage, sat at my desk, with an electric fire at my feet trying to wrestle with statements, receipts and random diary entries. A salesman I am, but an accountantant I'm not, lol
Which is why I'm proctrastinating and distracted by Charlton Life.
I might just go down the pub and have another pint of Otter standing over that roaring open fire.
Good luck with the commute, Alex. I spent years doing just that before I saw the light.

;o)
on another note if you stopped and did it, it will surely get done quicker! as you been on here all day with me posting on every other thread
;o)
my excuse for not getting much work done today also
I can talk to customers to the cows come home, I can get orders - but when it comes to book keeping, the flame burning inside me gets snuffed out and my spirit dies.
God knows how intelligent people can apply themselves to such mundane mindnumbing tedium.
And make a career of it.
Meanwhile, back on topic ..... I didn't make it to the pub and the warmth of it's blazing fire tonight, so no pint of Otter for me. But no worries, I've just polished off a bottle left over from Crimbo .....Skinners "Cornish Blonde".
5% strength, hop and citrus flavour bitter.
Skinners is a small brewery near the capital of Cornwall, Truro.
They also make classics like Heligan Honey and Cornish Knockers.
If you like Tribute or HSD, you'll like Skinners beers.

In Germany, Warsteiner is a good bet.
I respectfully disagree - they have so many fantastic local breweries over there that produce top notch lager, weizen and dunkel beers that there is no need to resort to the big brand stuff at all.
All a matter of personal taste. I happen to quite like Warsteiner when over there.
Having said that, I know where you're coming from Heath and am always prepared to try these local breweries if they're available. Have you tried one called Duckstein? If not, it's worth a go.
I was on Belhaven best over xmas. Not my favourite beer or even enough to turn me from my lager drinking ways, but pretty damn good, if anyone's on the east coast of Scotland.

Youngs Ordinary - I know its sinful to say it but am I the only one to think it's improved since they stopped brewing it at Wandsworth?
Fuller's Chiswick - good session beer.
Basically any decent real ale that isn't freezing cold and full of gas!

Pilsner Urquell
Bitburger
Tiger
Cobra.
are all very nice.
Krony always gives me lager tummy if I drink more than one.
A pint of well kept proper beer - once you get a taste for it ..... the ice cold fizzy chemical stuff seems unpalatable.
Not my favourite, not by a long way - but the missus keeps buying it - but it's been in the garage so is nicely chilled without being too cold.
Could murder one of Oggy's Tributes now - or maybe a Doom Bar.
Saying that, a Youngs Special, Pride, Harvey's, Landlord, Fuggles, Tangle Foot, Old Hooky or a Cock a Hoop would also slip down quite nicely I reckon!
Is that anywhere near Cornwall .....?
F***er
You wouldn't be the first person to call me that .....!!
I thought you were saying there was an otter with your name on it and was about to call the RSPCA.
I be proper country folk, born in SE18.......me loverrrrrrr.
