Do you guys really drink HEINEKEN???

Did you know where they built that brewery? Right next to the canals.

Ever wonder where they get their water from?

No! 

Heinekin is to beer what Absolut is to vodka.  It's a product of good marketing but not a good product. 

Had a Dutch beer back in the 70's and/or maybe the 80's (and I am not going to spell it right) but it was something like Orangeboom.  I recall it was better than Heinies. 

Some of my favorite beers are Negra Modelo, Bohemia, Anchor Steam and Black Dog Pale Ale.  Also a big fan of Guinness as a breakfast beer.  Yeah, just skip the toast and pour a perfect pint.  Been know to swap out bottled water for a Coors Light too.

Is that why the bottles are green? :o

I don't drink Heini's anymore, just domestic,.. oh wait,... Adolphus Busch sold out to Belgium,...

Damn,,... Well, there's always my California wine habit... ;D,.... and Bourbon, Tenn. or KY, doesn't matter.

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."
Col. Jeff Cooper.

The last beer I drank was an American-made Flying Dog pale ale.

Tennesee Whiskey and Bourbon are two completely different things, no matter where they're made. Jack Daniels could be made into Bourbon if it wasn't charcoal filtered, but it's against the law to do that to whiskey and call it Bourbon. BTW Jeam Beam BLACK is exactly the same price as JD, at least here it is, but the Beverage Tasting Institute gives Beam Black an A on it's report card and JD just barely gets a B. Why drink a low B grade whiskey at an A grade price? Talk about successful marketing. Jack Daniels has it. Beam Black is aged 8 years and is smooth enough to drink straight. It doesn't have specs of charcoal floating around in it either. Anyone who likes Jack Daniels or Beam White should love Beam Black.

...and yes, the blurb on the right is on the 22 0z bottle. 'Nuff said.

And it's so arrogant, it forced Stone Brewery to give it it's own web site, lol http://www.arrogantbastard.com/

PS, haven't had Heineken since High School when I thought I knew it all.
Anti: I think some of you gentleman would choose to apply a gun shaped remedy to any problem or potential problem that presented itself? Your reverance (sic) for firearms is maintained with an almost religious zeal. The mind boggles! it really does...

Me: Naw, we just apply a gun-shaped remedy to those extreme life threatening situations that call for it. All the less urgent problems we're willing to discuss.

Have you noticed that real beer connesiours drink mostly Ales, and the the other 90% of beer drinkers buy Lagers? Most people buy watered down "lawnmower beer" because you can chug a cold one like soda after working in the sun, but they're like my light-beer drinking friends and couldn't handle a real beer.

P.S. The last Heinekin I had was probably over 20 years while I was stationed in Germany. A bunch of us in the NCO club were drinking it from a glass with a raw egg floating on top. You just gulp the whole them down.  :)

You can't ruin a Heineken, so why not?  ;D

Just for fun I chose the "Do Not Accept" option. Funny stuff. Give it a click and you'll see what I mean.
