A lager for real men...

    I was over in France during last week on a 'booze cruise'. Loaded up the car with cheap drink. I happened to stumble on this fine beverage:

    Yes that's right, it's 11.6% volume. It's €1.20 a can (expensive for over there) and it's like drinking varnish. One thing is for sure, you're shíte will be shiny and smelling of pine afterwards! :D

    It's a bit like saying "A pink shirt for a real man"

    Larger is for women.

    I think a close second place goes to this...stuff...

    A 1 ltr can. I think it was about 98c in Italy. We stocked up on it for a long train journey... Beside it is a normal sized can for comparison.

    If you don't look like a man drinking that stuff, well, you're probably not a man.

    They do massive cans stateside too. I remember drinking some while I was over there.

    It's not too bad when you're already drunk I find!

    I seem to remember seeing something on the news about a 29% larger a few years ago. I wonder what happened to it.


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 47,359 ✭✭✭✭Zaph


    Not this stuff by any chance? Samuel Adams Utopias which weighs in at 25% and costs $100 a bottle.

    I'm pretty sure it came in a normal brown beer bottle and was less than £40.

    By any chance was it called Dave ? Brewed by "Hair of the Dog" ?
    I think it was a limited edition ... and has since been discontinued. I'd bet it tasted awful. I still would though.

    It might be the percentage seems to match. I can't really remember much about it but I think the reported said it tasted like muck. I'd still love to try it.
