    I am from Spain, specifically from the Galicia region, where Estrella Galicia beer is made.
    It's the beer I drink every day, and although I know there are better ones, I think it's a great beer.
    The size of the can is the usual one for canned drinks in Spain: 33cl instead of 50cl, that is, 11 fluid ounces instead of 16.
    Regarding the price, I don't know how much it will cost in the USA (tariffs, taxes, etc.), but in Spain, a pack of 16 cans costs about 12 euros, more or less about 13 dollars.

IPA at one time was hard to like for me but now I see the mix of hops have to be specific to my liking. As long as it's not crazy dank and bitter, then I'll drink it. Malty beers can't be overly sweet and roasted for my liking.

    I'm sure someone has already commented on this, but "bottom fermented" means the use of a Lager yeast, as opposed to being "top fermented" which uses an Ale yeast. Bottom-fermented beers are fermented at a lower temperature than Top-fermented beers as well, which tends to leave a cleaner, crisper flavor and mouthfeel.

    Here in Germany craft beer isn't considered 'real beer', a original beer here costs between 50cents and 1€ per half liter bottle at the supermarket.
    A Craft Beer costs between 1€ and 8€ per bottle. From each one you have a choice of around 20 different, while the original beer is 80% German and the other 20% are from other countries like Tschechia. American beer you can't find here...., no one sells Miller or 'american' Budweiser....
    The craft beers are different. Half of them come from Germany, half from all over the world, mostly from Australia and New Zealand.....
    They've great taste, some like a bit Banana or Mango, but it doesn't taste like real beer.
    I prefer a nothern german style beer like Jever. Bit bitter, but really refreshing or a Radler, half beer half lemon-limonade...
    Younger people in Germany prefer beer mixed with coke, wheat beer mixed with bananajuice or mixed with a energy drink like Red Bull.

    If its "bottom fermented" its a lager and fermented and aged cold, if its "top fermented" its an ale, fermented at around room temp.
    This is why if you brewed some beer then split the bach and fermented one with a bottom fermenting yeast cold, and the other with a top fermenter, you would have made one half batch of lager and a half batch of ale, out of essentially the same ingredients.

    Wow, those import prices hit you guys hard! That Innis & Gunn is only £1.70 each (about $2.15) in the supermarket here in the UK (I say 'only', there are definitely cheaper beers out there, significantly cheaper, but there are also plenty more expensive. £1.70 is kind of a typical price for a decent beer) and I think you can get a 6-pack for just under £10 ($12.50), and that is including our taxes. I don't know how your alcohol taxes differ from ours but assuming they're the same that still leaves a $3 markup per 6-pack just from the fact it is imported from the UK. That's kind of crazy to me because most of the US beer, even the smaller craft beers, aren't significantly different in price to our domestic & European beers over here. Also, in the UK, Kronenbourg is pretty much a standard, mainstream beer. It's a decent beer but it is also one which you would typically see being swigged by a typical gang of lads on a drunken night out, lol

    Since he doesn't like beer, it's a good thing that he can get his beloved Bud Light.

    I just had my first 1664 when I was at a pub in Singapore. That was easily one of the nastiest beers I've ever tried. For one of the first times in my life I contemplated about not finishing a beer. Out of principle, I choked it down but felt a little ashamed. Wow that was a bad beer!

      You are right, Kronenbourg regular is piss and the 1664 tastes like a rancid Heineken

    I don't understand why did they change the bottle for Innis & Gunn. It was in a nice dark bottle protecting the beer from the harmful light.

    Bottom fermented means the yeast used forms from the bottom of the Vat and top fermented means a yeast that forms from the top....example for bottom fermenting beer yeast: Pilsener and german wheat beers are fermented with yeast that is top forming🤙

    Tadcaster is home to 2 breweries... John Smiths is the more forcefully promoted, has a brewery the size of a petrol refinery and sells beers all over the UK in clubs, pubs and supermarkets... But, Samuel Smiths (brothers) is much smaller operation but the many beers they produce are second to none and a must go to for beer affectionados.

    Based on your reaction to those, I'd recommend - Shepherd Neame & Co.1698 Bottle Conditioned Kentish Strong Ale 6.5%, Robinsons Old Tom 8.5%, and my personal favourite - McEwan's Champion 7.3%

    A Boss needs to do a tasting of fringe / gimmick beers. A few suggestions would be Dogfish Head Celeste Jewel, Epic One Water, Rogue Beard Beer, Yoni (Poland), Lost Rhino-Bone Dusters Paleo, Dock Street Walker for a start. Just his reaction to reading the labels might go viral. 🤣
