This looks like it would go down and then come right back up. No thanks.

Few days off the sauce and now I can wait to crack open the Tyskie. Solid lager, very, very drinkable.

Another great lager, harder to find though.

I saw a bottle of sherry on offer so gave it a go. Haven't had it since I was a young lad, used to have a little glass before dinner every Sunday at my nan's.

It's sweet and nasty, and after a good glass can feel the headache brewing already.
Port is the way to go rather than sherry. My nan used to ply me with it when I was a young lad, it must be a grandmother thing. Still get a hankering for it now and again.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

I had this somewhere. Either my sister gave it to me or it was at some bar in NYC where I also drank something with reindeer blood in it.

You'll find both of these beers in Greenpoint, Brooklyn which is an historic Polish neighborhood.

on a bet, I would, but i'd have to replace the vodka with tequila. I dunno, $50? I wouldn't for $20.

The hills are alive with relatively cheap quality beer.

A very kind colleague gave me 20 bottles of this as it's not to his taste. I think it's bloody lovely however.

I've wondered whether Budweiser and those major American brands have to up their quality in Europe based on greater competition and, perhaps, more demanding tastes.

The original lager is bland and nothing special at all. Had one when we went to NY a few years ago, don't recall any difference in taste to here. Only that they were big, big cans!

This dark one has a lovely roasted taste to it though.

That's still quite a thing to behold, a positive evaluation of a Budweiser product.
