Bavaria!

I work in a pub.we started selling bavaria at the beginning of summer.it very reasonably priced at3euro.but it copletely bombed.just wondering what your opinion of bavaria is?

i think its A1 tbh i wouldn't pick it as my regular drink or anything but it is grand and i have drank it a couple of times when money was a bit tighter...its probably the only thing we aren't gettn ripped of wit in this damn country!!

its so handy when youre out drinking.all your change is in euros and its quite a nice pint.

jcoote

yeah thats true no messin round wit odd change that you will surely try and count in the chipper on the way home and end up handig in your last tenner note and hand over all the change to the taxi man and wake up broke...there's alot to be said for it

I have only been in a few pubs that sell bavaria, but when they do I always buy it. Its cheaper, nicer and makes a change from drinking budwater all the time

Lovely stuff, surprised it "bombed" was it openly advertised as a €3 pint? if people see unusual stuff they usually steer clear since normally it is €5-6 a pint, for fancy erdinger etc.

Ive never seen it for sale in a pub but ive bought it many times in bottles and cans, very nice beer IMO.

I seem to remember seeing drunks and lowlifes (the dutch gold mob) drinking this a lot and if i was a betting man id say it has an image problem derived from launching in cans before it was available in draught (similar to amstel)

Drank my way through thousands of cans of the stuff for the best part of my underage years. Still buy it occasionally if I want to save money but tbh Bud is worth the extra 80 cent per can. Bavaria is one of the tastier cheap beers, but its not brilliant either

Ive seen it in a few pubs, however, a severe bad pint episode brought on by a 2.70 pint of draught Labatts has made me wary of can-to-draught cheap pints in pubs

re any image problem, someone from the Mun flats (a Dutch drinker) told me that whilst Dutch Gold is indeed for schwars and general howiyas, Bavaria is a beer with an utterly criminal customer base

The only pub I know that sells Bavaria is The Globe. Where else is it sold?

Love the cans so had a couple of pints one day. After the first glup (wierd because its not from the familiar can opening) its tasty as hell. Mmmm, finished work in an hour...

I hate the first taste of Bavaria but after that its quite nice.

It's sold in the DCU bar, and another pub near where a live. It's not the world's best pint, but for it's price it's delicious!

I've got to be suspicious of a Dutch beer with a German sounding name.

Then there is the price issue....why would you bother with Warsteiner/Stella/Grolsch all at 1 euro for a 33cl bottle, even if you were lying in the gutter, I dunno.

English-sounding name. Otherwise it'd be called 'Bayern', no?

It's pretty much the default tap beer over here, and while I have nothing against it as such, I wouldn't buy it if there was anything else (within reason) available. A total 'meh' beer, for me.

It's one euro a can, not something to aspire to. Fosters is e3 a pint in most places and is far nicer. Why can't we get Tubourg on draught like on the continent - nice cheap beer.

Also reden wir nun Deutsch oder Englisch? Ich weiss schon das es auf Deutsch Bayern heist.

I didn't say a german name because Bavaria is indeed the English for the German "Bayern" hence , German sounding.

It's nice. Not as nice as Fosters, but still pretty nice.

Bavaria does indeed have an image problem because back in my underage drinking days it was cans of bavaria or scrump jack that everyone used to drink so it has a reputation as a poor tasting cheap beer.

It isnt that bad though and I find myself buying it more in pubs these days as im broke. A pub in Dalkey where I live just started selling it and it has been a great success so far. I must admit though if I had to money I would buy my usual Miller but for the price Bavaria is a decent tasting beer
