every holiday i work at the Grolsch beer factory to make some extra cash, and i see those bottles and cans going to all kinds of places in the world..
so i was wondering.. do they have it in your country? and do you like it? i think it tastes good :)
ow and they also brew beer esp. for (mostly) russia and the likes, it's called 'Amsterdam', they come in 4 different types;
'Amsterdam Maximator' contains 11,6% alc. <-- fuck me, do you russians really drink this stuff as beer?
(i know this is another 'do-you-know-this-dutch-thingy do-you-know-that-dutch-thingy topic, but i'm really interested in these things.. :))

Nooit gezopen dat spul van Grolsch. In de plaatselijke kroeg is het meestal Gulpener of Warsteiner

It's okay, I'm not a big beer/lager fan, but if there's no wifebeater (Stella) about and there's only beer on tap grolsch is a decent 2nd choice. We got a big keg of it for a house party and it was well recieved.
Jar: Yes those massive grolsch bottles are lush. Worth the asking price for the glass alone. Mine is still at Chris B.'s house from the last house party.

i am not too much into alcohol, but i know grolsch. you can find it sometimes in some pub in germany. especially in those "dutch pubs" where they have frensh fries dutch style..,
i even know a dutch bar in paris where they have grolsch. which is the best choice when in paris....

I like Oranjeboom better than Grolsh in My opinion it tastes better. My favourite beer is German White beer Hoegaarden ( You can drink this for £3GBP a pint in the Arnolfini, (Ceri JC) expensive but worth a go if you have not tried it before.) The quality of regular lager is much better in Holland than in the U.K. People over here will not drink Heiniken / Stella because all the stuff brewed under licence is crap. The only major difference is the fact that the Dutch have winter beers that taste of Lemon and Cherry. We have no real alternatives to that apart from alchopops which are fruit & spirit based.
This is the most mental beer I have ever drunk. It is not that strong but it just turns everyone loopy. A similar effect to the Perry@Glastonbury.

my advice: NEVER own up to liking Oranjeboom in Holland. it is frowned upon (and rightly so, I say, for it tastes like piss).

Yes, I like dutch beers- especially when served in those big steins :D
I think Hoegaarden is pretty good (although it may be the "under licence" version I tried).
That link seems broken...
Just out of interest, do you europeans have cider in your countries?

yeah kanonbier, that's the stuff they sell to russia and other countries pretty much
only they call it 'Amsterdam' then and it has some other package, it's entirely the same though
fuckin' 11,6% alcohol, you don't drink many liters of that

They probably sell it everywhere else because nobody drinks it here anymore
I've drank six 0.5 bottles in a hour or so well i can assure you i won't do that anymore, the only thing i could do was crouch and vomit
yes, those were the days
