*hides five crates of different Flensburger beer in the far corner of the fridge*

I'm relieved to hear you are not fond of my beer, Jeremy. This way my stock should last longer, LOL

Rodney and Jamie Lee? Of course I'll drink to their good health'!

*joins the toast*

My favourite is light light homemade beer. What do you suggest me from this pick?

Well, I'd offer you my number three: the 'Helles'. It's not too strong and has a good solid taste of hops, but not too bitter. Here's one for you, try it!

*passes a to Hatifnat*

yeah...
That one tasted good, even so good that I would like to taste it IRL. Hopefully I shall.
Can I have one more, please

You might want to try a regular Flensburger Pilsner. It is quite bitter - but that's just the advantage of it if you are into that sort of taste!

Skål !

OK
Skål !

GREAT
I love beer!
My working day IRL lasts for 1 and half hour since now and I feel drunk already.

That's what I like about drinking some s or s with some friends. No need for missionary eagerness to persuade each other to drink another kind of beer. (Drinking samples is )

I'll stick with the Kößlarner as long as there is some left.

Is it common to brew beer at home in Germany? Or in Gr. Br.? Or anywhere else?

It's not really common, but as Germany is a rather beer drinking country, the market for DIY-brewery kits may be somewhat larger that in other countries.

There are, however, still lots of very small local breweries combined with only one tavern or inn. They brew only for their own consumption, and the potential surplus is sold locally.

If you like the idea of supporting small, family operated breweries instead of huge industrial beer plants, you can find some delicacies from those microbreweries.

Unfortunately the industrially produced stuff is much less expensive (call it cheaper, if you want). So those consumers who have to turn every penny twice before spending it tend to buy industrial beer (in tin cans instead of reusable bottles). Plans have been made in Germany to raise a deposit even on tin cans (which I support strongly!).

I prefer to spend a little more money on a product that's environmentally friendly, like beer that's produced nearby and sold in reusable bottles. It's better for my peace of mind (and tastes better, normally )

Sorry for the long speech, back to the .

Who wants one?

Thank you for the information. In Estonia an average family in countryside is able to brew beer for itself, in soviet time it was even cheeper to brew at home. 10 years ago it was common here to have home-brewed beer in weddings etc. This tradition is now kept mainly on our islands.
I'll take one more and then RL waits for me. Meet you next week

Bye, Hati,

I'll be around

I still say that looks like someone punching someone else. And I think we need a smiley/picture thingie for a black and tan. ::quaffs some ::

Well that certainly made things quiet around here, did it not?
