Just opened one of these, my favourite beer next to Ichnusa for quite a while now. Got sick of the Pilsener culture here and switched exclusively to lagers.

Had my first Warsteiner in years today and it tasted like the worst swill, fuck the Pilsener culture in this part of country. Going out and getting something halfway drinkable now.
German pilsners suck ass. Never had a good pilsner in Germany, instead of that sweet bready flavor they just taste like yeasty water with an alcohol aftertaste. Gross. I don't like weissbier either so no matter the pub I'd usually just order a stout or pale ale rather than risk massive disappointment.

The undeniable truth. I used to drink nothing but Berliner Kindl Jubiläums Pils back in the day, probably out of some weird patriotic duty, and had one recently, absolute shit-tier. Even the czech Pilsners taste like swill to me now, and they brew the best pils in Europe.
 
English ales are highly underrated IMO. Doesn't help that they're barely exported except for Newcastle Brown Ale in the American North-East apparently, and most Britons prefer Spanish lagers because they remind them of their holidays. I'd rather have the median English bitter over the median German lager, there's usually just a much more enjoyable medium-sweet maltiness and body to them. Shame about them being rebranded as "amber ale" and "pale ale" when even the latter is often just incorrect. Belgian beer is more interesting, but it's hard to beat a decent cask ale as a standard pub offering.

Agree Britbong real/cask ale or Guinness on nitro tap is hard to beat. Especially in colder weather. Newkie Brown is nothing like what it used to be.

German style lagers are mostly boring aside Kellerbier. Altbier is good if you like malty dark ales.

Belgian Trappist Quads are an amazing beer, but not the type of beer you get a pint of. One of my local craftbeer places has a lot of barrel aged quads and stouts on tap and a 150ml of a 12% + beer already has you like 3 normal drinks in.

About all I can say about export grade Guinness is if you mix it with equal quantities of brown sugar and reduce it by half, it makes a fantastic meat glaze.

You mean the extra stout in the bottles?
As I recall theres a few diff versions of that for diff markets, I think the South African one is the strongest.

I only drink Guinness on tap from authentic Aussie mick pubs, I'd rather get some bougie craft milk stout than fake Irish swill.
 
I like Miller High Life, it's a little pissy like most American beers but its the most crispy
Well I ain't feelin' happy
About the state of things in my life
But I'm workin' to make it better
With a six of Miller High Life
Just drinkin' and a-drivin'
Makin' sure my dues get paid
Because alienation's for the rich
And I'm feelin' poorer every day
A-hey hey hey

Absolutely. These are seriously good, I always try to keep a stash as a treat for myself. They go down waaay too easy though.

Anyone else into Jap beers? I like Coedo and Sapporo.

Sapporo is nice, Asahi is great if you get the actual imported version. I think across Europe they're actually brewed in Italy and they're just not quite the same.
 
Do y'all use untappd? Found it helpful to track certain beers I like. I just wish they did away with the leveling systems.
 
You're all going to think I'm trolling for neg-ratings, but as someone who can happily put down about 12 beers a day if I've got nothing else going on, does anyone else kind of like the super yellow watery "pissbiers"? Like East Asia (Japan, China especially) do some pissbiers that I honestly sometimes crave on like a hot day more than anything else because it's like drinking tangy water and the drunkenness sets in real gentle-like.

Edit: Just saw a few of the above comments. I see I've found my people.
