EPTYou know, carlsberg is rated as the best pilsner in the world, just saying. I've tried a bud, and it was horrible, so they aren't at all the same lol! and all buds tastes of nothing, even the non-light versions are only like 3%, while a proper carlsberg is 5%(or 4,8 or something :s)
So I heard you like alcohol? - Page 28

![[image loading]](http://www.cyclobe.com/images/absynth.jpg) My favorite absinthe so far quite striking wormwood taste at first but very aromatic also. Too expensive to get drunk on though for that I just prefer dirt cheap vodka :D | ||

That being said Samuel Adams I think it's called is American and is a decent beer. James Squire is my current favourite Australian domestic beer. Gin and tonic with fresh lime is the greatest ever summer beverage and my current favourite scotch is Glenmorangie, a surprisingly smooth and delicious whiskey seeing as it is only 12 years old and a single malt. Greatest wine ever is still Coolabah red lambrusco, many a day/night of university disappeared as a result of that stuff retailing for $12 / 4 litre cask. Long live the goon bag and 'goon-o-fortune'. | ||

If you think of American beer and all you come up with is: Bud varieties Miller varieties Coors/Light PBR Then you're not searching very hard. | ||

My collection (missing 15 or so) : http://imgur.com/a/w6n7V#5 Don't mind the wallpaper ;p My favorite one so far is without any doubt the Kapuziner http://i.imgur.com/t4dOY.jpg soo good ! I also love absinth, favorite one is the hardcore hapsburg : http://www.alandia.de/absinthe/images/product_images/popup_images/absinthe-hapsburg-240.jpg Mansinthe was really nice too, a very unique taste. Other than that : Picon (with beer and a little bit of lemon), Berger blanc, ricard, ... Moar pics : http://i.imgur.com/iqrXY.jpg Gotta love berger blanc <3 http://i.imgur.com/bCPIJ.jpg One meter beer from the best pub here (they have more than 200 different beers). It costs 30€ for 10 beers of your choice. | ||

If I was forced to personally choose between the two continents, I would now give NA a slight advantage just because of the variety.

Carlsberg deserves better than being lumped with bud light, but it's definitely not on anybodies top ten list, even in its style. I think your rating might have come from college aged Danes | ||

The sheer amount of micro and craft brewers here in America have created some of the most delicious beers in the world. If you think of American beer and all you come up with is: Bud varieties Miller varieties Coors/Light PBR Then you're not searching very hard. If you think America has the best beer in the world outside of a genre that those Dutch monks do (I'm guessing that you are refering to Trappist? which is kinda funny seeing how 6/8 of the monestaries are in Belgium) you are very ill-informed. I'll admit there is a vast amount of microbrews in America but it is kinda ignorant to deny the tradition for brewing which is present in Europe and the riddiculous amount of microbreweries here. What sort a beers are you into? Perhaps I could give some recommendations. EDIT: To the above poster: If I recall correctly it was the best mass-produced pilsner - which is hardly a competition in the first place outside of the pilsner urquell which quite frankly tastes a lot like water. And once again, I think you are underestimating the variety which you see in the European microbreweries, perhaps the reason is that the only beers making it overseas are "the old guard"? | ||

The last 2 days of soaking I added orange juice to get rid of the vodka flavor and mmm were they tasty. Quite strong as well | ||

Does soaking Fruit in Vodka actually get rid of the flavor of Vodka? i know we drop fruit here in moonshine(yes the illegal kind) and it does nothing but change the color, its alot stronger than Vodka though so that might be why. Also been in a real Jack Daniel's phase now, def my favorite liquor right now. | ||

It's just been a mix if what I've seen over here (we have a decent import list) and what I've experienced on my trips to Europe. I will be heading back to Germany next summer and plan to take a side trip to the Czech Republic, so any good recommendations for smaller Czech breweries would be awesome. It could be that I haven't had enough exposure European microbreweries. However, the NA microbrewery scene is expanding at an insane rate right now. | ||
