Title: Euro 2008 Beer Post by: donkey on Wednesday, May 28, 2008, 19:42:33 As usual I will be trying to buy beers from as many of the competing nations as I can, so I can drink the beer of that nation when they are playing. I know a few that I wantand wondered what the fine TEFfers would recommend. Clearly I need to actually be able to buy the beer, so some choices that I've made so far are based on convenience.
Group A Switzerland - No idea! Czech Republic - Harold Black Bohemian Lager and Pilsner Urquell Portugal - Super Bock Turkey - Could prove troublesome. Group B Austria - Dreher (I think it's the only Austrian beer I know...whether I can find it is another matter - and it doesn't taste that great) Croatia - ?? Poland - Tyskie, Ocociem (sp), the other popular one - open to suggestions, Chubbs Germany - A wheat beer of some sort - plenty of choice. Group C Romania - There is one in a local Eastern European shop...need to find it France - Kronenberg White (or maybe cheat and have some wine) Netherlands - Amstell I suppose Italy - Perroni Group D Greece - saw some in a shop in Cardiff - a mate will pick some up in a couple of weeks Sweden - err? Elkenbeer? Russia - Baltika Spain - Can't think. Finally, it is a shame Ukraine, Latvia and Lithuania have not qualified as they all make quality beer. Title: Euro 2008 Beer Post by: janaage on Wednesday, May 28, 2008, 20:04:52 For Sweden drink Mariestad Export, if your mrs (or you for that matter) go to Ikea pick up a few cans from the shop there.
Title: Euro 2008 Beer Post by: McLovin on Wednesday, May 28, 2008, 20:09:27 Spain - San Miguel
Greece - Mythos Turkey - Efes (they sell that illegally in all kebaberies around here, so i'm assuming on it's origins really...) Title: Euro 2008 Beer Post by: yeo on Wednesday, May 28, 2008, 20:10:05 Good idea im gonna steal it :D

As i thought... Title: Euro 2008 Beer Post by: donkey on Wednesday, May 28, 2008, 20:17:01 Cheers Janaage.
McLovin - Efes - easily gettable round these parts, thanks for reminding me. Chubbs - Yep that's the one. :D And Yeovil/Oevil/Croat...you go for it...it's great fun (World Cup is obvioulsy more fun, but Euros is still good). For those unsure who to support, perhaps they can choose their favourite beer and go from there?

Only beer I've really drank when in Turkey (imported beers are very expensive over there). Title: Euro 2008 Beer Post by: Sippo on Wednesday, May 28, 2008, 20:23:49 Spain -Estrella Damm
Title: Euro 2008 Beer Post by: flammableBen on Wednesday, May 28, 2008, 20:31:27 There was something going on with Estrella Damn, like Budweiser had bought the rights to brew it in England (or elsewhere and import) it or something. Anyway, it made it more difficult for my dad to import the original proper stuff as this new one was different. Something like that I can't remember. San Miguel is a bit rubbish. There are a few nice ones. I just can't remember what they're called. Mahou or something?

Title: Euro 2008 Beer Post by: Sippo on Wednesday, May 28, 2008, 20:38:30 The beer for Germany has to be lawrenbrau without doubt.
Shame Belgium isn't in it ecause Hoegaarden would beat them all. Title: Euro 2008 Beer Post by: flammableBen on Wednesday, May 28, 2008, 20:38:11 I think their actually always have been two separate companies with little to do with each other; the american budweiser and the czech budweiser thing. I might be wrong though. It's one of the things where you get a lot of mixed up pub knowledge thrown in.
But either way, it's not the proper Spanish stuff anymore or won't be soon. I remember comparing the new one and the old one and the new one is much more light and fizzy in a fostery sort of way.

České Budějovice is now the name of the town, but when the Czechs were ruled by the Austrians it went by the German name of Budweis. Given they were brewing beer in Budweis before Europeans discovered America, the question is why did the Americans call their 'beer' Budweiser. There is no need. They just stole a name that had nothing to do with them. You are right in that the two companies are in no way related. The Germans do not accept US Budweiser as original and they had to call it Anschleur-Busch (sp) Bud during the World Cup. I think the Fins take a similar position (although without the World Cup, obviously). Title: Euro 2008 Beer Post by: Spencer_White on Wednesday, May 28, 2008, 20:50:27 Staple German lagers are suprisingly difficult to get over here.
Which shows weve got no taste.

For Germany have a Löwenbräu in a pub, and when you for it, pronounce it in German (lurrven broy) and see if they understand. I think I might have a go at this, good excuse to sample some of the beers I wouldn't usually. Quality!

Like most things, the Swiss tend to keep it for themselves.

Efes v Super Bock was a quality game although conditions (nice sunny day on the patio) really favoured Super Bock. Efes weren't really match ready (could have done with another 30 minutes in the fridge). But an entertaining fixture with much to offer, easy 2-1 win to Super Bock. Looking forward to the Austrian fixture - found Urbock which is 9.6% |
