Tarnicus: The problem is what you are drinking, not that you are drinking :P That's not a beer!
Oh! Come on. It's not that bad. :-)
And you are saying that because you never tasted the beers that are commonly consumed here in Brazil.
Like this one.

Tarnicus: I'm solar and ethanol powered, so I do quite well in the heat :) As I age, my aches and pains are exacerbated by the cold and vanish with warmth and movement. The warmer season is much shorter here than the cold season. I live in one of the coldest areas of Australia. I couldn't imagine -15°C! I just checked and the coldest temperature ever recorded in Australia is -23.4°C. The coldest where I live has been -9°C, so it wasn't far off it this year. People often assume that everywhere in Australia is scolding hot, which it is in a lot of places. Mid to high 30s here is nothing on the summer heat waves I experienced in Sydney as a child. Naked and sweating with just a sheet on at night - I don't like that extreme either.
Guilty as charged. I always imagined Australia as pretty hot place. Never thought that the warmer would be shorter. Well -9°C is not that common in Northern Germany but it can happen. Let's hope it's getting warmer again for you :)

What are talking about in those heat waves?

Haha whilst you are correct about my lack of Brazilian beer consumption (I dont think I have tried a single one!), I bought a case of Stella earlier this year and really didn't like it, which is strange because I used to think it was good. I guess delving into too many craft beers (that Polish one I linked is 9.5% alcohol and is deceptively strong - it tastes like a standard 5% beer) has had my tastes change.

My strong memories of heat waves when I was growing up in Sydney are of sleepless nights due to the heat and whenever it reached 40+ we got the day off school, which was multiple times per year and awesome lol We've still got a while until it warms up properly where I am, but by October the freezing temperatures should have gone (mid spring here).

All this beer talk is making me thirsty! I haven't tried either of those, but generally enjoy German, Belgium and Dutch beers. It seems quite easy to get a very drinkable one reasonably priced, and I love the water quality laws that Germany has when it comes to beer production :) If only Australia would follow suit. The majority of common (not craft) Aussie beers taste like Yak's piss, with James Squire ( and [url=http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/494/1861/]here are a couple I enjoy) being one of the only Aussie beers I can drink with ease.

I think I might get a homebrewing set up going. The tax on alcohol here is ridiculous and companies are lowering the percentage to pay less tax and make more profit.

superstande: Not a follower of Wrestling but a wrestler named Vampiro has got to be a cool dude! Piqued my interest! :)
Vampiro in his prime was indeed a cool dude! Great gothy-punk rock look, solid wrestler, managed to get managed by both The Misfits and the Insane Clown Posse while in WCW. In Mexico he is/was a megastar, even starred in a movie or two.
I just wrote a lengthy post responding to 3 messages and it vanished :( One of the only times I didn't copy it before posting. Bugger!

Edit: wow I refreshed the page and on the 3rd time (and posting this) it worked. Phew :)

Sounds like October is the time where the temperatures here and in Australia are somewhat similar.
40°C+ sounds awful. I can barely survive 35°C ;)

Well the first is a Czech beer despite the German name. It's the original Pilsner beer and it's one of my favourites. The other one is quite new to me but i also like it . Unsurprisingly i'm used to German beer but i also like Belgian and Irish beer. And the German Purity laws are
Sounds like some of the American beers (i tasted some by accident in Ireland and it was horrible)...:)


That reminds me of Scandinavia...i once paid 72 Krones (around 10 Euros which apparently something 14,8 AU$ ) for a beer in Norway....

The example I gave is not a good one because it is from a brewery that produces to mass market. They are more interested on the volume and not the quality of the beer.

However there are some really good breweries here in Brazil like and [url=http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/10095/]this one.
Edit: Remembered another one I like.

I went to the US in 2005 and the beers weren't as bad as I had been told, but they were very watery. I'd say I wouldn't like any of the ones I tried over there now. I generally prefer porters and stouts for winter, moving to amber and golden ales for the warmer weather. Was that price you paid at a bar/pub or for a bottle/can? The beers I prefer generally cost about 13.5 euros per 6 here, hence I rarely drink now.

Never heard of them! lol No Brazilian beers would be sold in my town but I'll take a look at the nearest large town when I go shopping there next. I know a bit about South American medicines, just not beers :)

Tarnicus: I'm surprised your name wasn't added to that list, especially given you are a "smart mouth" (isn't that a compliment? lol)
It's only a matter of time......
"Go outside," they said. "Be sociable," they said.

Now I'm sweating my ass off, it feels like bugs are crawling on me and I want to throw up. Fantastic.

I've never been to the US yet but i can imagine they have some quite good beers. Well i usually stay with Pilsner for the entire year but usually have some bock beer around May and some wheat beer during summer.
Good question. It proabably was at a pub....but the prices for beer in grocery stores in norway were quite riddiculous as well. 13.5 Euros for 6 beers o.O.....i paid less for 20 .5l bottles recently.

Sounds like an intense case of social anxiety? (hazarding a guess).

Yeah the laws got changed here to add even more tax to alcohol based on the percentage of alcohol in it. The cheapest 6 pack of beer here would be about 8 euros, and by 6 pack I mean 330ml (33CC I think it is in other parts of the world?) bottles.
