It`s disgusting, It`s cheap liquid for the simple purpose of making you completly drunk, a cristal meth for non junkies.

Unbelievabel that we export that cough syrup

You know what's really sick? I developed a taste for the stuff. Though I am drinking Rumple Minze right now. I'm partial to some of your export beers as well, Spaten Optimator being one of my favorites.

Was this done in one take? Some of the camera angles and editing makes me suspect each stage of the "machine" was done several times to get those shots. I'm not at all knowledgable in filmmaking/editing so I might sound stupid here.

I dont like to brag. But it`s understandabel, since our beers are the best, some of the brewerys here are more than 500 years old and almoust every state has it`s own 4 to 5 brews. And currently there is a economical trend of smaller brewerys poping up and going into buisness.

But the best beer is from the Czech republic

I suspect it was done in multiple takes, based on the lack of other cameras visible in wide-angle shots right before a scene transition.

You should be proud of your beers, Germany produces many very fine beers. Likewise, the Czechs and Belgians (amongst others) should take pride in their brewing traditions. There's something to be said for long traditions of quality, and while there are German beers I have tried that were not my preference, I can appreciate quality when I taste it.

If you ever find yourself in the northwest portion of the USA, you should see what brewers are doing here. American beer has a well-earned bad reputation as being swill - given what the major breweries produce here (thanks to the conditions after Prohibition which lingered for decades, and the dominance of brands such as Budweiser, Miller, and Coors).

However, since the late 1980's, there has been a revolution in craft brewing, and literally thousands of small commercial craft breweries have sprung up. Many have followed the lead of countries such as Germany, the UK and Belgium and produce respectable versions of old world styles. We're not content to copy the success of others, though, and have developed some unique styles and variations on styles on our own.

Some claim that the craft beer revolution took root in the Pacific Northwest (though others would dispute it) - whether that is true or not is irrelevant to my point, but in this area in particular, there are literally thousands of beers available (most domestic), some of which are truly world class. I say that humbly, knowing full well that we are following Europe's lead, and that we owe much to the old world for our reborn brewing traditions.

I could go on and on, but I won't. Suffice it to say, that much like anywhere else, the best we have to offer is not exported in any quantity, if at all. My favorite pub has a modest brewing operation, producing a handful of barrels at at time, and has some 50 or more beers on tap, 90% of which are produced elsewhere, and 70-75% of which come from other small regional breweries. You never know what will be on the taplist, and even as a beer enthusiast, most of what is offered is unfamiliar to me.

Hmmm... most of the canned coffee energy drinks just don't taste good to me. Perhaps it's that I prefer my coffee hot, but it seems to me that there's something about the taste of the canned stuff that seems artificial.

It's still 100 times better than normal Monster. I am a fan of iced coffee drinks (or "Froo-froo Drinks). Smile
