The one Liter mugs, of course! Mrs Greener and I went to Hofbrauhaus in Munich during Oktoberfest in 2008. A great festive atmosphere. The beer and pretzels and schnitzel were great, and the scenery was outstanding.Referring to the beer or the ladies ?

The best Guinness is on tap in European pubs. For me that was in The Hague. I had to be drug out of there.I like the Guinness Draught in a can if I dont do draft in a bar.

On beer engines, and not gas-pushed taps, I’d bet.

Don't know, but it tastes 100 times better than any I have had on tap in the states.

Gun shops & Bloody Mary Monday.
No treasures yet…but this is a sign that it’s damn good bloody…house infused spicy vodka.
Think I’ll have another, give the first some moral support.

Give me a simple beer that tastes like a beer and not all this flavored stuff, with fruity berries or jalapeños or chocolate ...
Something that drinks smooth and doesn't leave a bitter after taste in your mouth, like IPAs do.
I'm also skeptical of proper cleaning of some taps I've visited from all these new microbreweries popping up everywhere. Especially after getting terribly sick from 2 beers while out of town on business. Spent the next 2 days in the hotel room throwing up before I could fly back home. I stuck with my bottle beer while traveling after that trip years ago.

On the cleaning.
I’m in the biz as I have said before.
Most bartenders are not properly trained on a proper pour. Sticking the glass up into the beer faucet filling the glass causes the foam to get back up into the faucet. That leads to mold quicker.
Here in Tx, there is a law that we must provide cleaning service to the tap system for public health. Every 2 weeks.
Also, most bars do not spend the $$ on a dedicated beer cooler. Beer and food in same walk in cooler. Food containers get placed right on top of the kegs . Well, theres always spillage on the kegs
If I dont know the sanitary situation of a bar, its Bottled beer with date codes thanks.
On a side note, some establishments take cleaning seriously. Kitchen and bar. I’ll have no issues ordering draft beer.

I've already made it clear I'm a very simple man who requires only very simple pleasures ..... so when I see some of the stuff some of you folks are posting here I'm totally lost both in name and price for these products. But a few days ago I saw an advertisement for a bottle that literally left me with an empty feeling of ..... "do people actually pay this kind of price and do they actually drink this kind of liquor?
Note, nowhere did I call it whiskey, because any bottle label that spells 'whiskey' without the 'e' can't be all that!!! You can't even say the word without saying the 'E'. Yeh, I know some of you might think it just a minor thing, but whiskey without an 'E' just ain't the whiskey for me. I might pay the $36,999.99 for the bottle if it had an 'E' in the word!
Yeh.............. right !!!!!!!

Scots are sometimes funny with their spelling. They were making whiskey/whisky for centuries before we were making it. By Scottish law, they have to spell it without an "e"....I'm not making that up...it is an actual law in Scotland!
