Wow cant believe someone mentioned my favourite beer and you live in Denmark. You must have a PHD in Beer or Sumfink.

[img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] Thanks but I don't. There isn't such a thing in Denmark, otherwise I wouldn't have studied boring economics and maths, that's for sure [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

The best actual Pint I have drunk was in a Chezch expatriots bar in Kilburn London. They had just one Larger on Tap; Budvar. Words cant describe how superior it was to any other beer I have ever tasted.

Budvar is a pretty easy to get beer in Denmark. Considering how bad the english brewers are at making lager, that should be the case in the UK too [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Budvar is made by Budejovicky Budvar and that brewery spends most of its time these years going to court all over Europe with the American Budweiser to settle who's entitled to the Budweiser name. The Americans wins most of them (Switzerland is the only exception I can think of right now)

Ive had Budvar out of a bottle many times. On tap it is a different experience all together.

Do you have it on tap in Denmark? Also how much is a pint of beer there? I hear terrifying stories.

Yes Budvar is on tap quite a few places in Denmark.

A glass of beer from the tap is normally 40cl here, not a pint. A hop enriched glass of water from Carlsberg is around £3.50. Imported beer are more like £4-5

In the shops imported beer are normally around £5-6 pr. litre

If you ever come to Penzance it would give me great pleasure to see you announce this in front of all of their regular patrons, especialy at The Pirate.

How fast can you run?

very slowly.

I can drink a lot though. Plus I am pretty big and happy. Most people can tell when I am joking. I imagine I would probably have to buy everyone a round too.

Unknown probably brash (All yanks seem Brash to Brits) young Yank walks into very locals based pub, loudly announces in Yank accent:

"Gee your pub sure sounds Gay. Are you all a bunch of fags?"

If you cant run fast then buying everyone a beer is now your only option unless you dont want to experience socialised european style health care.

After you had got that round in though everyone would give you a second chance and Im sure youd be well in with the locals in no time. You would have to hope there are no psycho fisherman in the Pub though because they will attack tourists beeing rude on the slightest provocation.

Ten days at sea working 4 hours on 4 hours off tends to send them insane.

no, us Yanks are smart, we would see the name of the place outside, and say "well this place sure sounds gay" and then we wouldn't go in, unless someone told me that it was actually pretty cool and non-gay.

Rather than being smart it sounds like they would let their dumb prejeudices and fears of their own repressed rampant homosexuality [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] deny them the pleasure of drinking in Penzances finest Pubs.

After you had been here a while you might have come to terms with our "Gay" sounding pub names. Gay bars in the UK normaly have a name like the Pink Flamingo.
