What you guys drink ain't the real Heineken, it's watered down for export, real Heineken is a good beer, not the best, but good (with blind tasting the flemish actually liked Heineken best to their horror)

Aha, so the answer is "no". Well, I know you generally prefer other alcoholic drinks over beer, but beer is something you need to learn to appreciate.

I myself, had to learn to appreciate whiskey. When I first tried it at my parents' (I believe it was an Irish one, Jameson), I really didn't like it. But now, I love it, especially during winter.

If you ever have the opportunity to buy Leffe, Westmalle, Duvel or whatever Belgian beer mentioned in this thread, buy a couple of them and drink it at ease, no more than one or two, eat some cheese with it.

Heineken is ok, not the best not the worst, a fine drink.

It has arrived. I found a place close to work that sells this stuff on draft and in the bottle but now I finally have a case of my own. I've never paid $100 for beer before. I used to drink $50 at the bar (Tennessee prices), and $100 for scotch, but never for beer.

Fragony, I love ya, but I also love this beer. Please don't make me choose....

If you go broke before you get drunk, you are a fool. Maybe it's just my southron blood, but honestly, cheap beer tastes better by the simple fact that it's cheaper.

You paid $100 for Gulden Draak!? That's just mad. While I'd agree it's more than decent beer, I've yet to find a beer that is worth $100. I think a large bottle of Gulden draak costs a mere 3-4€'s or something over here.

A case people, a case. That's less than 4 and a quarter per.
