Shall we take the beer discussion here instead and ask Red if he can move the beer discussion from the Ukraine thread to this one?

Works for me, although I also think we should be looking at a new Ukraine thread as that one has grown a bit too large to follow and the new phases of the war are very different to the opening ones.
Maybe George could open a part two?

While stationed in Singapore, the only beer freely available in the NAAFI was locally brewed Tiger beer. A consumer magazine years ago carried out 'The good bad and the ugly beers from around the world.' Tiger beer was rated as ''Unfit for human consumption''

Not technically a beer, scrumpy cider from the West of England will put most grown men on their backsides very quickly. If the landlord of the pub doesn't know a customer will only sell him/her half pints. Its lethal

During my time in Germany the beer I drank was Becks Bier, it went down quite well after 'Endex''

Yeah I have never been a fan of Tiger either but it is surprisingly popular here, I don't mind Beck's but I tend to drink the local beer predominantly a Brewery called Tuatara as they make some nice blends although if I am driving I stick to the 0% Baltika or Obolon beer as they are both drinkable unlike Heineken 0%.

OK, I send Redleg a PM about it

ps. I am not a huge fan of non-alcohol beer, but the best one I have tasted (I haven't tasted many) is Carlsberg's 0%.

The German Warsteiner is a pretty good mainstream beer. I have been to a beer festival in Stuttgart and it was really fun, but I will never do that again. I was there for about four days, but it took four weeks to recover from it.

I have tried a lot of German beers and while I didn't find many I wouldn't drink I can't say I was over awed by them.

I have been to their beer festivals and they were fun. But I was missing a good amber ale while being there. The Germans only have lagers and wheat beer.

You said something about Wisconsin. I have tasted one beer from Wisconsin and that was the Old Milwaukee and it was like all the other American beer. However, some of the US beer works pretty good when it is really hot

Never liked amber ales, always end up throwing them out.
I tend to like lagers and hazy IPAs and avoid wheat beers wherever possible.

I love a good pint of Guiness, not bottled or in cans but on draught. A good pint has the white head clinging to the glass all the way down. However, keeping Guiness is a nightmare, if the barrel is knocked, even slightly, it has to be taken offline and a new barrel attached.

I can't drink stouts, the amber ales are the darkest beer I can drink to "heavy" food and not a lot of them either.

Czech beer is really good.
