[Mrs Seabiscuit]

Aw poor poor Seabiscuit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! knock a point off me DJ and give it to seabiscuit pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! Also im Mrs Seaviscuit now.

 

[seabiscuit]

Noooooooo! 1 point! (sobs uncontrolably)
And I had a couple of Hofbrau's I could have used instead too.
And an Augustiner with an impressive beer tap (but no bottle)

Goes away to drink REAL ALE to console himself.

Congratulations everyone.

edit

knock a point off me DJ and give it to seabiscuit pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

Don't do this though. That's the whole point of it is it's a gamble, and fun. And we definitely tried some beers (lagers) that I wouldn't choose normally. And they were nice. Especially the dark wheat beers. Kind of like a smooth stout or porter, but without some of the roasty harshness.

 

[pieplough]

1 point!?!? Noooooooooooooooooooooo.....

Dam you Russinating!

Some great beers (and cans) on show this week

 

[pingwing]

Get in!

I had aceface57's drink as one of my other options but considered someone else would be too amused by the guys on the label...

Got a week of beer drinking ahead of me from tomorrow evening once my dissertation is handed in so I can catch up on a couple of weeks of world of beers entries

 

[PapaLazaru]

I am taking this as a lucky three points. Never even heard of Hacker Pschorr before. Luckily I got the one nobody else did!

Good turnout. Well done chaps.

 

[Ahleckz]

DROP SOME BLOODY POINTS JESTER!

 

[Jokester]

I thoroughly enjoyed my Krombacher Dark, wasn't expecting much after my last malty dark ale, but this one was refreshing with a nice smooth taste that wasn't too bitter.

 

[DirtyJester]

Fixed the name Mrs_Seabiscuit, oops Quite correct Seabiscuit

@PapaLazaru Yes you would have made all the difference if you hadn't picked the one you did. This is the beauty of when more play the bigger the impact on points, don't forget it is possible to enter a beer and walk away with zero!

@Ahleckz, I'm sure I will fear not

 

[DirtyJester]

I bought two of mine and drank the last one during the week, with a curry I have to say it went down well with the curry but on its own was a tad bland.

 

[Ahleckz]

Oh, I drank my beer at a beer tasting event. The rest of the beers are listed in my picture (obviously).
I'm not a fan of wheat beers, I understand why people drink them (those who don't like beer, predominately) but for me they are pointless and lack any beery flavour. And when it does have a flavour, that is vile.
This beer didn't change my mind, at all.

I don't mind wheat beer myself, well apart from the fact it sneaks up on you and hits you a whallop!

Oh and I thought I was the only grumpy git here today

 

[Mrs Seabiscuit]

haha there are some grumpies in here today aint there!

 

[DirtyJester]

haha there are some grumpies in here today aint there!

To be fair I thought there would be more

Beer ratings:

Salvator Doppel Bock - 88
Maisel's Weisse Original - 87

Hacker-Pschorr Münchner Hell - 86
Warsteiner Premium Verum - 78
Flensburger Pilsener - 80
Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier - 98
Augustiner Bräu Lagerbier Hell - 92
Franziskaner Weissbier - 87

The Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier is rated very highly, I'm sure that I've had it before and didn't think it was that good but could be mistaken (plus my above moan about wheat beers may have something to do with this) so going to endeavour to drink it this week.

All round, some pretty high ratings which was expected with Germany who are very well known for their beer. However, I'd still argue Belgium make better beer (but for me America is where the best beer is coming from today). The lack of a fair few ratings just shows how diverse German beer is, and there are still many beers out there that few people have tried. If that says more about the beer, or marketing, I'm not sure!

Incase anyone was wondering, if you see 'Hell' or 'Helles' or something like that on a German beer it means 'light'. This is referring to the colour, rather than calories/strength.

 

[DcD]

FS.

Mine obviously wasnt received. Gutted.

I had Acrobrau Bavarian Weissbier. Can I get belated points?

Ohhhh! My google skills were weak to what that was all about

 

[aceface57]

I really quite enjoyed my entry, I tried very hard to find some Hacker Pschorr Octoberfest marzen but as to be expected stock sold ages ago!
Drinking lots of German beer has made me want to go there on a long weekend again.

 

[pingwing]

I really quite enjoyed my entry

Oooo what does it taste like? I have a bottle sitting quietly in the fridge for later in the week...

 

[ots3go]

Might I ask where you found Spaten? Not been able to source any in the UK for ages.

I'm a little gutted as I could have entered Lowenbrau or Veltins. .
