Every Off License in Dublin sells Tyskie, Lech & Zyweic. They are not bad at all.

Is Weibeer like Weissbeer, (Erdinger, Hooegarten and Leffe type stuff) ??

So you finally drank those bizarre bottles! I bet they gave you a nasty hangover. You should try the popular salty liquorice vodka (I don't like it) now that you already have some experience on Finnish drinks…

You're confusing my world order :)
Does anyone know "Amstel"-beer? I heard the company went broke?

I like my malt with a dash of still water, sake warm with a meal, limoncello and vodka straight from the freezer and red wine slightly chilled (I like my reds on the light side). The old "serve red wine at room temperature" doesn't work any more, as modern houses are usually much too warm for wine (this might not apply in UK). Sicilian reds are served really cold, at least in summer.


I am there with you! I love sake warm--with california rolls or edamame. Love ice-cold, homemade limoncello! I must add ice-cold margarita there as well--but a goood one, not one of those sorry mixes. And red wine is my all-time favorite--chilled , and with any meal--I do not buy the "white wine with fish/chicken" suggestion either.

at least go to a beergarden (as seen on the pictures) first and get the non-tourist-y experience ;)

I live not too far from the area where this stuff is renowned - personally, I can't stomach it - it just makes me throw up. AND .... let's face it, the colour looks like something radioactive!!!
