What is the Favourite Beer in Munich

As some of you may know i'll be throwing a farewell party this Friday, Nov 14th for myself... i know sad huh. Don't worry there will be plenty of others their and I expect to be providing massive amounts of beer, and to be the best host i can be I would like to have your input on the matter.

See my Farwell Party Thread in Munich Nightlife for up to date details and to help me find a keg & dj. sound fun?

HEINEKEN!!

damn you dutch!

Carling

Guiness

Grolsch...

Fosters

My God, no wonder you all bitch about living in Germany. You don't even want quality beer when it's waved in front of your noses. Sad sad sad sad sad sad sad sad sad sad sad sad sad sad sad sad sad sad sad sad sad sad sad sad sad. Even Spaten beats most of the pisswater listed above.

Jimbo: Carling? Never heard of it.
Pootle: I think a couple of kegs of Guiness would be a bit out of my budget, but i agree great beer!
Sparty: Please only 1 vote per person . Grolsch also a good beer though.
3 Lions: Not even Australians like Fosters
Showem: What was your vote? Augustiner?

Not heard of Carling??? Only the most popular beer in the UK...dear oh dear...

Carling smells of the pond.

Yes and tastes like it too, but since his list didn't include any 'charlie', 'pills' or 'Northern Lights' options, I thought the next best thing was disco fizz from the old school.

Old school = Carlsberg Special Brew, not pond water.

I really had to get used to the Helles when I first got here. For me Grolsch still is the best beer I know (and Orval of course, but I don't think anyone will know that trapist beer), but those cannot be classified as Helles since they are not brewed according the Reinheidsgebod.

As for Helles, an Augustiner will do!

Duvel, Chimay, Hoegaarden, Leffe etc etc The Belgians make the best beers really...

Thx San, you just made me laugh. It's called Reinheitsgebot and has nothing to do with "Heiden" (=nonreligious person), especially since it's the only religion every German believes in.

but Uncle Jamal, those you name are the special brewed ones...

Stella Artois...full of chemicals, rocket fuel strength, renowned for making you beat up the wife...surely the King of beers?

hey great input guys, but i was thinking more on the lines of a german helles. in part to celebrate my great (way too short) 3 months in munich. plus i'm guessing it's going to be hard enough to find a keg of heles in munich, let alone some of this import brew your mentioning.

looks like augustiner has the edge.

and jimbo, just because 'charlie', 'pills, 'northern lights' weren't mentioned as options it doesn't mean they wont' be there.

Great - always thought Charlie was a really nice bloke.

well i was gonna say wiessbier for me, but it seems like options are now wide open with pointman suggesting a free for all on the recreational substances.
Oh and John Smiths - mainly because of the quality adverts.

Erdinger big c?

Gutmann Weissbier - it tastes of bananas!

Hmmmm… bananas you say? And this is a good thing how?

that sounds disgusting!!

Well not actually bananas, just was the first word that came into my mouth when I tasted it! It's damn nice stuff. But I like my Weissbier.

Was just thinking that if "pills" is coming then beans will have someone to talk to and "northern lights" - well her evening is made - UNGLAUBLICH!

I’m sure Freud would have something to say about that..

Probably, but based upon all the stuff he has already said, it would not doubt be complete and utter self-indulged crap that nobody in their right mind would take seriously unless they were an idealist 1st year psychology student who has not learnt how to think yet.

I did think of that after I wrote it, and I thought, but I did think of bananas when that creamy foam passed my lips!
OK i'll shut up now, i don't think it's gonna help me get the laydees.

Dear don, I was joking (you know you thought the same thing)
Ps. I was not at all affected by my psych class, as I paid absolutely no attention throughout the entire thing…

big c.. saying laydees won't help you with the ladies.. it sound to creepy/boogynight/70's disco

@sanielle maybe, but i would hope that most of the decent ones would realise I was using laydees tongue in cheek.

@don freud had something to say about everything and then linked it to sex, so what's new.

Sorry, but is Freud coming to the party as well now?

just making sure big c

only if he bring some banana Weissbier

Damn, even Freud is resurrecting himself for this party and I cant even be there!!!

If Freud can come over, you probably can as well!

hadn't thought about that sparty.. really not nearly as long a trip as he has to make either..

Gives you a shocking hangover. Hardly the king, more like the 'thug' of beers

that's why it's called wife-beater!

Hey random question, do you guys (brits, irish) call men's undershirts wife-beaters??

yeah, we do from round my area (south england).

thanks big c

jamal and jimbo are connoisseurs...

others are not

as I told a guy at Oktoberfest (when the wound was still fresh): now that the belgians have bought two of the munich breweries we will hopefully see proper beer served at the wiesn'n next year

J

PS: patron, une stella artois!

Of course, Stella is rank awful piss, rivalled only in terms of it's abysmal quality by the likes of Maes and Jupiler. None of them are as bad as the piss that is carling though.

Hmm.. bet he doesn't drink Carling Black Label !

thought beer couldn't be sold at Oktoberfest unless it was munchner owned??

Not really...the Belgians have some breweries here, and the Dutch have some of 'em as well...

in that case, jamal, I take back my earlier statement about you...



PS: sanielle, the brewery needs to be munich-based, not necessarily munich-owned (which would mean no brewery could every get a public listing...)

Hey how come Budwiser isnt on the poll?
