We just need Spy to chip in now
I completely agree that a beer with no head is pretty rubbish but when we went into an Irish pub (I know, typical Brit abroad) the barman asked us if we wanted it poured Amsterdam spatula style or English tilt style. Both resulted in the same head thickness and I can't remember tasting a difference but I guess that could be accounted to drinking Amsterdam beer in Amsterdam! I do remember wishing it was much closer to bed time when I stumbled out into the blinding light of a bracing January day!
Please don't tell me you ordered a Heineken at an Irish pub
Beers like Heineken should be banned from the face of the Earth. Too bad Dutch people are so proud of it purely because of its popularity and not its quality![]()

but really you wouldn't even know Fosters exists over here, I guess it is jusy a export thing.
I'll be totally honest and say I don't remember what the beer was and we did feel guilty going into an Irish pub in Amsterdam but they had the Liverpool game on and it was cold outside. Lager of choice is always Peroni but I do like Amstel, what should I be looking out for?
You should be looking for anything that isn't Carlsberg or Heineken
In all seriousness, though, I'm a huge fan of dark beers. But in general I think Belgian beers are awesome. I think they also offer Corona, a Mexican beer, everywhere. Everyone seems to love it, but I'm not a fan of it.
I can't really say what you should be looking for, but if you spot some Belgian beers you definitely want to try those; Grimbergen, Kasteelbier, Chimay, Kriek, Hoegaarden, Duvel etc. Just give the bartender a shout "Gimme a Belgian beer laddy!"
Just keep in mind that Duvel and Kasteelbier donker are quite heavy beers, so go easy on them![]()
Unless you're the taxation office.Croc Dundee aka Paul Hogan is liked here 👍
Don't you jumping kangas drink a lot of VB? We had a load given to us by VB at the cricket club last year (to sell), it was damn popular even if it was in a poofy sized tinny.
Aren't you guys going a bit off-topic with the beer discussion?
