    '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.

    This again.
    Drink what you like and enjoy it.
    It's not a competition.

    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.

    Crates of beer bottles in store rooms, rats pissing all over them.

    Well I do like my rat piss, I think they've rebranded as "Rockshore" now though

    Yup. To each their own. Cheers!

    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,122 ✭✭✭killanena


    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....
