Underrated brews?

[Llamas]

Not where I'm from... nobody ever talks about it there.

Pilsner is very popular here in Slovakia too. There are several pubs in several cities called "Pilsner Pub" or "Pilsner Garden"... it is one of those not-so-cheapest-but-not-so-expensive beers which people really tend enjoy sip after sip and not just drink bottoms up and order another one.

I don't think it's underrated but I drink Carlsberg, because of Copenhagen Uni. I didn't drink beer before...Not that I am complaining...

Oh and I like Affligem sometime

It is really good And you're right, in this region, it's right in that mid-price range. I think part of why I never ordered it back home was because it only came in a bottle, and was wayyyyy too expensive. Plus I don't know anyone who drinks it there. But it's definitely my favorite of common Czech beers.


But Spotted Cow is still better.

Carlsberg is pretty overrated, especially when Tuborg is so clearly the better one.

oh of course ! How did I forget Tuborg ? My danish mentor made me drink that ! I thought it was good, but I didn't know a lot about beer at the time. I was just a rookie.

Nykøbing is all I need. And Tuborg of course.

Carlsberg tastes like chemical warfare.

Harp Lager, even though I've probably said that in this thread already.

Oh, hello there. Huge beer snob here. I've got probably 10 posts tagged for reply, we'll see how many I actually get to!

Rogue Dead Guy Ale is damn good. I also feel like not enough people give props to Modelo Especial. There's also a surprisingly good Nicaraguan beer called Victoria. Don't think you can get it in the States though. I'm also a fan of Spaten, but it's not exactly underrated.

Holy fuck I would rather drink piss-water soaked in diarrhea than drink another Modelo Especial. That shit was awful.

Milk Stout from Left Hand Brewery in Denver, CO

Agreed. That beer changed my life.

I think as far as super cheap beer goes, Yuengling is the best.

Fo' sho'.

I dunno dude, Yuengling is great but I think PBR wins my vote for best cheap beer.

PBR might be cheaper, but Yuengling actually has some modicum of quality.

An underrated brew?
The He Brew.

That's actually a beer.

I hate Natty Ice.

Anyone had Rolling Rock? Is it worth it?

Rolling Rock is one of the only "bad" beers that I really don't drink. It's too bad to be decent and not awful enough to be bad.

Stella Artois. 'nuff said

You forgot to say "tastes like ass and is completely overrated". :x

Wieckse Witte?? or Hoegaarden?

Dutch dude who likes relatively somewhat stronger beers; I was into stronger beers aswell, before I was a student. obviously when you make long nights, drinking from 7 to 4, you don't drink Westmalle Triple all night. I swear, that would kill you. Westmalle Triple once only needed one afternoon, when I skipped breakfast, to kill me.

by the way, Guiness?? seriously??!

Orval in the house. Actually, I'm not a huge triple fan, but I appreciate the craft of the brea.

Cider is great, especially strongbow.



Sapporo is fantastic. And surprising cheap around here.

That's my girlfriend's (oh snap fiance) cider of choice. I actually don't mind it despite generally not liking ciders.

just to back up what megs said a year ago, dogfish head's 90 minute is probably my beer of choice when available. i'd love to try the 120 minute but it doesn't seem to be available on the west coast.

Personally I much prefer the 60 minute. It's the least malty of the bunch. But that's just me, I love hoppy beers. Dogfishead is in Delaware so we get a lot of their stuff ehre.

Blue moon Grand Cru!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


It's 8.2% and smoother than.....anything that high. Hell, forget the qualifier. It's just smooth. Like, how can I make a broad comparison everyone here worth a damn will understand.


I know! Remember that one episode of futurama where Kiff goes to Mars to visit the Wongs and they're trying to set up Amy with that stereotypical Marlboro cowboy, and he hits the cigarette and he says "Smoooooth". It's smoother than that.

It's supposedly a limited thing, so buy it and try it and fuck it's great.

Find yourself some Victory Golden Monkey. It's an 11% (I think?) belgian-style ale.
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES TRY THE DFH PALO SANTA. It may be high proof but it tastes like a woodchip soaked in ethyl alcohol.

I loved their slogan when I was in Poland, "Probably the best beer!" or something like that. The "probably" was great.
