>what's your opinion abouot heineken?

Pissbrew. I drank it a few times, its not even made after the Reinheitsgebot. Tastes like water.

>what's your opinion abouot budweiser?

Original = good, Murrican version = meh. It has its merits if you dont like the taste of pils as much but still want to have something beerlike.

>how to properly drink them (wich food fits better)?
I drink beer to everything. Currysausage with fries and Curry ketchup would be average. to krauty foods I recommend wheat beer. export is nice to chill with after a hard days work. Pils is more common though

>did you ever had a brazilian beer?
nope

depends on what you think of beer/what it is. belgians make good beer but at least half of it i dont even consider beer. not saying it is bad, not at all. but not real beer.

a good solid night out in germany, lets say berlin. 8+ Grosse pils. Cool, crisp, refreshing. in one word, Beer. hangover next day = 0

night out in belgium, lets say Brugges. 6+ various belgian beers. unique, distinctive, tasty, becoming more befuddled. hangover the next day = heroin withdrawl level pain and nausea. in two words, not beer.

found out that there really was a point to the german reinheitsgebot. smart germans.

pity i moved over the border. soon as you do the beer turns to piss again.

OP was talking about Currywurst so he's likely from Berlin. I know currywurst has spread, but only Berliners love currywurst enough to talk about it.

In any case, the Reinheitsgebot wasn't about anything but economics and political power. They weren't saving the purity of beer, they were limiting the use of wheat in beers because they needed bread more than beer, but the people wanted beer more anyway.

Still, it's pretty ridiculous to say that the Reinheitsgebot was a good thing considering all the amazing additions and adjuncts that make great brews. This even limited the production of amazing German wheat beers. It's pretty ignorant to glorify such an antiquated law that lasted so fucking long.

and dude....please...learn to take some humour. i study history so i know behind all of these laws and rules in whatever, there are power and money games being played that have nothing to do with that law or rule. i know dude, im not 12.

but. that reinheitsgebot makes for a distinctive taste and other places that try to come close dont. sorry. there is ~800 years of experience there and oh....lets cut out all the crap we normally put in our beer....oh it tastes like shit...hmm how did those germans do that? who cares? put the chemicals back in.

sorry but for me, comparing some belgian and french beers to german, czech, or english beers is like comparing wine and port.

Nothing about your post was outwardly humorous, you typed in a very straightforward manner. That aside you're making no point about German beers having any kind of objective quality above French/Belgian beers. There's no ~800 years experience considering the Reinheits is only ~500 years old and came long after the invention of beer. There's also no reason to assume that if the beer doesn't strictly stick to barley, hops, yeast, and water it has to taste like shit unless you use chemicals.

At this point I'm just wondering what point you're trying to make. Do you just have a hard-on for German/Czech beers because you are German or Czech? Get over it and enjoy beers of all kinds.

And no shit comparing beers from different regions is like comparing wine from different regions (which is exactly what Port is, despite how different it is). If you don't have the palate to enjoy beers from all regions, there's no need to trash them in unintelligible internet babble.

The difference between those brewerys and the american ones, is that most of them have hundred years of history.

Fun fact: approximately 2/3 of Americans don't have passports and, in general, what you've seen in life is "the whole world" in the sense that there's an instinctive tendency to assume that if you haven't seen something, it doesn't exist.

So your local piggly wiggly carries 34 kinds of Palate Destroyer IPA and Beck's, and you read in some frat boy magazine that some American beer won a prize in a country that was not America, and what's a person to assume from this? That Bavaria has good beer? No, this is not supported by the observed evidence.

It's kind of like Americans who think that everyone who doesn't live in America lives in a mud hut despite the fact that our quality of life is actually not particularly impressive in comparison to other developed countries and we're rapidly slipping. Tell that to anyone who has traveled the world and they will agree that it's cause for alarm. Tell that to the 2/3 with no passport and you've basically committed high treason.

Now I'm pretty sure there is excellent beer in the US, in Germany, Belgium, Ireland etc., and everyone may have his own favourite kind of beer.
But in Germany beer is handled different than elsewhere. When an American politician is seen drinking alcohol, it's a scandal. When a German politician doesn't drink beer, people will think he is some kind of snob and doesn't care about his people. It's not that we have a beer culture, but rather that beer is an essential part of our whole culture.
That being said, I recently discovered this local brewery. Kronenbrauerei Ulm-Söflingen, if you ever come to Ulm, you should definitely get some Eisbock.

Depends on the politician. Dubya had an alcohol and drugs problem so he never drank beer because he was damaged goods. Obama drinks beer in public all the time.

Bill Clinton was a bit more discreet perhaps due to his painful childhood with the alcoholic stepdad, but he certain didn't abstain.

Truth.
