because it is my last name! You didn't used to be able to get it in the US, so when I was little relatives who went abroad always brought some back because it was our name, but I was too little to drink it...then it came to the US and I finally had some and it tasted shitty, like ear wax or an old shoe(not that I eat those things regularly)
I would check out Micelob only because I can't beleive they make a Hefenwiesen, it blows my mind, I'd definatly check that out to see how shitty it is
: : different parts of the country have different distribtion....Michelobe has a Hefen..wow....I'll have to check that out.......
: and a rubbish one at that - you'll be telling us you drink caffreys next.
: never trust bitter that has bubbles. it's not right. supposed to come out warm and with twigs in for that authentic british taste.
: : other than that I've been about Stella Artois and Spatan....Spatan kicks ass, and after that I'm a huge fan of Tetley's (which is like a blonde guinness, it comes out foamy and thru a special system like Guinness)
: : : : Pyramid, or UFO.....but I am a big fan of Hoegarden and Franzishaner (but I never see the second one)....in bars I go for Hoegarden if they have it....If I buy a six pack its UFO and I get a lemon......
: : :
: : : : : : lately I've been all about Hefenweisen and Black and Tans
: : : : : Which Hefenweisen's are you drinking?
: : :
: : : Haufbraugh, which is tough to find (and I think I spelled it wrong)
: : : Hacker-Psychor, but I don't like it very much.
: : : Michelob makes a version that is hella cheap, but has a decent taste.
