Your Beer Brand of Choice

[herseyjh]

I just tried a beer called Hefeweizen (from Granville Island Brewing) the other day in Vancouver, and very refreshing, and crisp.  Might have bee the heat that I was trying to escape from as it was 30 outside.  A nice micro-brew and a must try.

Welcome to the bigger world of German-style beer. "Hef" as we used to call it, has been a staple beer for many many years. I'll bet quite a few old salts here on Army.ca who served in the FRG back in the day have some good Hefeweizen memories, or lack thereof  :cheers:

BTW- I can sympathize with your heat wave up in Vancouver. I live down in Eugene, Oregon, which isn't far south of you. It was 101 degrees today. I'm not sure hot hot 30 degrees celsius is, but it doesn't sound good. My wife and I went to Chili's and drank margaritas in the air conditioned cool.

Keiths.......

It's my favourite. Anyone remember when they used to sell it in 2L plastic bottles?

But when out west..... Alberta Genuine Draft. Last time I was there $12 for 15 cans! cheaper than water! and doesn't taste bad either!!!

Or when overseas.....Erdinger. A german/austrian (not sure, too pissed each time I drank it). Comes in very tall, almost-yard-of-ale type glasses, and you're guaranteed to have a good night on the stuff!!!!!

Carlton Cold and Victoria Bitter for me!

I just can't seem to find either in Canada  :threat:

A Coldie and a VB, good choices Sub_Guy!

Cheers,

Wes

You have no idea! I have spent some time in OZ (Timor, Tandem Thrust 01)  I couldn't get enough Carlton Cold, and VB.  Sipping on those sure kept the body temperature down while sitting outside http://www.rorkesdrift.com.au/ in Darwin for four months.

While in Faslane in support of the HMCS Chicoutimi I noticed they had VB in the stores, needless to say my hotel room always had VB on ice.

I think you are making that one up.  If not...send me one   ;D

PS - You defect to Upper Canada yet?

I will do you one better than that. If you end up in Trenton as well we will have one by the pool some evening. I leave Wednesday after my march out.

Ah, Mitchell Street, Darwin. Let me see..... The Fox and Fiddle, Kitty O'sheas, The Lizard Bar, Shinanigans (AKA Shags), and of course Rorkes Drift. Other haunts, the Parap Pub, the Vic Hotel, The Pub bar, The Ski Club, Dinah Beach Yaught Club, Humpty Doo Pub out at Humpty Doo. Ya I know Darwin and surrounding areas well. Many hangovers. Full of great places to eat ( at Cullen Bay, Fanny Bay, and East Point).

Glad you had fun.

Cheers,

Wes
