Yeah right… “Blue Girl” listed as German :roflmao:

But either way, thanks a lot - maybe some nice Belgian catches to be made there: Kwak @ 75NT sounds not too bad. And the EKU28 Eisbock sounds good, too :slight_smile:

Lol, they both take me to the same page; f***ed if I know?!? Thanks, E! Hic! :thumbsup:

Duvel for NT75 is such a huge temptation…let’s see, free bus to Carrefour from my front door, no need to carry loads of bottles a long distance, no classes tomorrow, good excuse to get out of the house…yeah, I think I’ll go!

288

grabbed a sixpack of Warsteiner. You know? It could be Germanys top beer but I still like st Pauli girl better. Heck I like TW beer better !! The trad big bottle TW peejoe. Used to only have 2 kinds. German style in the big bottle and American style in the cans. Nowadays what corresponds to the former German style in the big bottle?

I dare say I prefer the lighter taste of Stella even.

Warsteiner? Welcome to the bitter world of (more middle- to northern German) Pilsener, Tommy :stuck_out_tongue:

My taste totally agrees with yours, I very much prefer the sweeter, or at least less bitter beers of further south - or if Pils at all, then from the neighbouring countries like czech republic Pilsner Urquell or even Belgian Stella :beer:

290

I hope you’ve left a few.

291

I didn’t go, decided I just couldn’t afford to spend the money. No job, tuition of NT53,000 plus coming up - I have to be content with cheaper beer. :frowning:

292

major bummer

at least you can still cry into your (cheaper) beer??

293

that’s too bad. The best deal they have is buy one case (24 cans) of taiwan dark beer 7%, get one free for NT $ 450. Now thats cheap!

294

I finally managed to get to a Carrefour and try some of those Saranac brews. I tried the pale ale, lager and Bavarian. The ale and the Bavarian lager were outstanding! I would have bought more, but I bought the last 8 bottles. Looks like I’ll have to expand my Carrefour perimeter!
:lick:

Just a short reminder for those of you who love a great US craft beer…

Bao Brothers Trading imports American craft beers of distinction. Our current beers include:

Anchor Steam, Liberty Ale and Anchor Porter - NT$2000
Anchor’s Old Foghorn Barleywine Ale - NEW! - NT$2400
Rogue Dead Guy Ale and American Amber - NT$2200

All prices include delivery.

Anchor Steam - Sort of half lager/half ale, 40 IBUs of hops give it some great flavor. Pair it with lighter fare - seafood, soups, salads, burgers… San Francisco’s favorite beer.

Liberty Ale - America’s original pale ale. 45 IBU’s of hops, you can taste the citrusy notes, almost flowery due to the dry hopping. Seafoods, spicy, grilled, burgers are great pairings.

Porter - Starts out coffee, ends up with subtle caramel-like sweetness. Goes with steak, oysters, heavier fare. Another American classic from San Francisco.

Old Foghorn Barleywine Ale- Triple mash of hops give it strong flavors and at 9% it puts a smile on you fast. Goes with heavier fares, strong cheeses, some chocolatey desserts.

Rogue Dead Guy - Maibock-style, with malty sweetness. Goes with burgers & sanies, grilled foods. 2008 World Beer Championships Gold Medal winner. Rogue is a multiple-award winning brewery located in Oregon, the center of the US’s craft beer brewing.

Rogue American Amber - Classic of US amber style. Great amber color. Taste both the malty sweetness and hoppy bitterness in the same beer. 2007 Gold Medal winner. Meats, grilled, burgers, etc.

If your local pub or favorite restaurant does not have any of these, ask them to contact me.

Feel free to give us a ring yourself for home delivery! Thanks for your support!

Came across TAIWAN BEER (with the yellow and green label in a six pack glass bottles) at 99 market for 6.99 / six pack plus bottle charge. Havent had this stuff in 11 years. Forgot to drink some last year on a visit.

Used to be Taiwan beer only came in the bottles in one style and cans in the other. Now theres several bottled styles I think? Dont know what style this is but its good but not quite the taste i was used to. NO “skunk” in it at all. Is it a special brew for export?

297

99 Ranch in Richmond has been selling bottles of Taiwan Beer for years.

298

well i dont hang in richmond. may as well be a furrin country to me :slight_smile:

now they got a 99 rancheru in concord , its in my turf.

299

The flyer from Jason’s says they have specials on:

Tooheys $65
Boags $69
Tui $59
Monteith’s (7 kinds) $69

Only a notice not an endorsement.

I just had a very good beer indeed. A surprising find in 橡木桶 (Drinks). The branch between Jingmei and Wanlong. Islay Ales Finlaggan Ale. 170NT, but worth it.
