geordieshandy 0 Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Kronenbourg and Stella are both just hangovers waiting to happen. Must be the chemicals or something. 119841[/snapback] Tis the nitrogen. 119851[/snapback] Have you made that up? I'm clueless about stuff like that, so would be very easy to make a mug of. 119870[/snapback] Nah, it's true, I think. There's nitrogen in lots of ales too. Isn't a widget just a plug of pressurised nitrogen in the bottom of a can? 119879[/snapback] Here's how a widget works. Widget skills The barley used to make beers and lagers gets a lot of nitrogen to yield a better crop, with the barley used for beer generally getting a lot less nitogen. Nitrogen is also used to pressurise cans of smooth beer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had some terrifically random pints in the Guildford Arms, and the Kenilworth 119905[/snapback] Stuff from small breweries is usually the best like, I've even had nice American and Australian stuff before. Mass produced stuff is rubbish though. I don't know what the big breweries do to stuff here though. If you get 'proper' i.e. imported bottles of Stella it tastes a canny bit nicer than the UK stuff, even though the ingredients are meant to be the same. Also, K1664 is lovely in France and pretty bland over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing how very small changes in the process, such as differently sourced ingredients, can make canny substantial differences in the end product Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't get it in the UK, at least not yet. Was down the club today and ordered a Guiness. Didn't really go with spaghetti neapolitan though.

Also, K1664 is lovely in France and pretty bland over here. The problem with most mass produced beer is they can't (don't) take the time to ferment it correctly before bottling, so therefore they use to much yeast and preservative so it can ferment in the bottles on the way to the retailer. It's more about maintaining the volume of output. The best example here is at Christmas, the mass produced beers are even worse because they are just pumping it out in order to maintain production when they close for the holiday period. Then to make matters worse, it is always the last product produced to be the first on the shleves. Give me an Erdinger anyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanTheMan 0 Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Budweiser is piss-weak like. First time I drank it, didn't even realise it was alcohol! Just tastes like fizzy water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 8975 Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 I switched from drinking predominantly lager to predominantly spirits about two months ago, I don't feel so bloated and I really enjoy the occasional Red Stripe with a rented DVD. plus I don't think you need spend as much when drinking spirits when you're out, because although they cost say £3 for a double, you don't drink it half as fast as you throw back lager. if I'm sat watching the match, at a BBQ or watching a dvd... it's hard to bring myself to ditch the can and pick up a short glass.

Was a right pain in the arse when in a round with someone drinking pints. Heres you two or three drinks and your vodkas gone and they are still standing with 3/4 pint left. Those days are gone though, still tee-total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
