    'Tis much nicer than canned or bottled. Give me a nice fresh pint of Carlsberg than a bottle of craft Pisswasser any day.

    It's the extra flavour given to the beer in the vats from the tired workers having a swim and a wash before knocking off for the day....

    Large bottle with a single malt chaser, ftw.

    If you like carlsberg, try the unfiltered.

    Beer is for women. A pint of plain is your only man.

    I am the only person I know that prefers canned beer to bottles. They're just so crispy, and bottles seem to go flat quicker.

    Bottles of Heineken smell like dog ****, but the pints are wonderful.

    Irish Heineken is manky in my opinion. The 5% one you get in England is nice, and in Holland it's nice too.

    Hence why bars stock such a variety and seem to sell them all.

    Carlberg made important advancements in brewing scince/bio chemistry including inventing the pH scale. So cut them some slack with all your pißwasser talk.

    They also developed purified yeast, which eradicated 'beer sickness' and sent samples freely to all other brewers.

    A lot of the bottles you find on special offer are often lightstruck. Which gives it a skunky aroma (apparently). So if yer getting bottles at least make sure they're in cardboard or plastic.

    Those pint bottles of Peroni are delicious...ICE cold...my favorite beer.

    Imported Heineken draft and pint bottles would be by go to in most pubs or bars if they have it. My favourite is a wheat beer made in Co.Clare by the western herd brewing company called black beat. Some local bars have it on draft as I live in clare. Bottles aren't bad either.

    Something happened about ten or so years ago and it has never recovered, heard different theories as to why such as the yeast that they used here spoiled. They tried a few gimmicks like knifing the head level etc to try and keep people buying it but the change in the taste just killed it for a lot of people.

    Carlsberg on tap really isn't all that bad in fairness, depends though.

    Heineken on the other hand....

    Heineken did a beer with different yeast a few years ago, H41, and the bar near my office had it on draught, and I thought it was better. However, I don't think lagers really benefit from being on draught, but cask ales do. I remember having an excellent pint of Courage Director's Bitter at a Wetherspoon's pub in Manchester in around 2004, for which I was charged £1.25.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    There is simply nothing better than creamy pints of Guinness in a pub that has good Guinness. You can inhale the stuff!

    Without being pedantic, Guinness stout is actually a type of beer

    Excedpt on TV when people walk into the pub and ask for a 'pint of beer'. I'm not sure if it's better or worse than ovious product placement.

    I wouldn't give a bottle the time to go flat
