This is a fair enough criticism.

Most Japanese beer isn't anything terribly special compared to domestic beer, although it can be a little less astringent (to my palate).

It definitely isn't worth it if it's double the price. If it's $6 instead of $5, depending on the domestics available, sometimes I'll get it.

EXCEPTION: If you can find "Orion", buy it.

Tsingtao is really good though (obviously not Japanese). I don't think it has any dead-ringer domestic equivalent.

Also, your Canadian domestics are a hair better than most of ours, IMO. Labatt Blue is better than any Japanese beer other than Orion by a WIDE margin.

Love me some Samuel Adams.

Haven't been able to drink a lot of beer since being over here. But when I do get to drink I like to try a lot of the micro brews.

WISH ONE · 09-22-2009, 04:33 PM

I actually ended up liking Molson alot more then I thought. I stayed in Mississauga when i went to canada and there is a Molson brewery there,really good. Its really affordable as well.

I couldnt get into Tsingtao, Im not trying to Diss anyones beer but... It tasted horrible to me,to each his own.

I have never had the Cherry wheat^^^ looks really good. does it taste anything like summer ale or Octoberfest?

It tastes ALOT like cherry. Personally its WAY to fruity for me. And I prefer Octoberfest over Summer Ale anyday! But Boston Lager is better than both of them

Just saw this on tv has anyone had it???

xpertsnowcarver · 09-26-2009, 04:31 AM

Damn, just came back from Oktoberfest... shit was fun. Shame all the cute broads were with someone. Anyways, that Spaten Gold Lager (5.2%) is the best I've had yet. They had a Seasonal Dark Lager (5.9%), which was great too. Was able to get a free mug. I sucked at all the contests... blow up a balloon till it pops, yodel, chicken dance...
If your in SoCal, you guys need to go.

Went to the bar with my best friend after, added a couple Blue Moons to the night. Still buzzin'.. had a slice of Hawaiian bread (<<<Oh man.. best bread ever), going to bed now.

what were the brews (& other drinks) they had over there?
Spaten is hard to go wrong with.
Hope they had Der Optimator.
Please tell us more.

Think this is the place you were referring to;
http://www.alpinevillage.net/oktoberfest.htm

Oktoberfest deserves a thread of it's own.
Think pretty much most cities have some sort of Oktoberfest going on.
If not, that's just not civilized.

Here are 2 more Oktoberfest Festivals that I'm aware of in Socal;

Downtown Los Angeles Oktoberfest, Oct 10th
http://www.laoktoberfest.com/

Big Bear Lake Oktoberfest, Weekends from now to Oct 31st.
http://bigbearevents.com/bbevents/pa...ktoberfest.php

xpertsnowcarver · 09-26-2009, 08:00 PM

I think it does too, but don't feel it will get as many hits as this thread.

I don't recall all the beers they had. The main two were Spaten (which had three kinds) and Budweiser (which had two kinds, but it can be bought everywhere so I stayed away from it). There was another beer that I should have tried called something like AmberBridge.. I don't recall exactly. But that's about it. Only six or seven different beers.

Aside from drinks, they also had a section for food. I didn't buy any (ate before I showed up, which I recommend you do the same). But, they had some giant ass pretzels about 16" in diameter for 10 bones. There was a popular plate of some big fat sausage link in a Torta style bun with some taters with stuffing and gravy on the side. Looked real good, also 10 bones.

What else...
Oh yea.. plenty of these:

S14_Kouki · 09-26-2009, 09:03 PM

^^^ I like plenty of that lol

thagremlin · 09-26-2009, 11:59 PM

i dont really drink but last time i went to the bar they ran out of new castle so i got one of these.. tasted pretty good. yea i got it because of the name haha

PrincessPeach · 09-27-2009, 02:42 AM

I'm a newcastle man, hands down.

Unless you have Black Label. I like mixing Black label w/ Coors light and a dash of lime
