I just got back from a 4 day trip to Europe
No Coors or Miller light anywhere in Frankfurt or Munich
Or Uppsala, Sweden
Wtf?
I wasn't happy to say the least

1. Okay, really?
That's what bothered you? None of the sights made up for that?
Or is this pure sarcasm? I can't tell.
darkangel218 (7,397 posts) Tue Oct 1, 2013, 12:57 PM
2. No. the trip was awesome.
I got to see my friends. Just surprised Coors isn't there.
Yes, it bothered me as I don't drink other beers.
Why do you have to be mean?

3. Okay, sorry. I'm just envious that you got to go to Europe
and I'm stuck here and I don't even like beer.
darkangel218 (7,397 posts) Tue Oct 1, 2013, 01:00 PM
4. Im originally from Europe, thats why i had to go see friends and family
It was a legitimate concern. I don't do good with strong beer and I don't drink liquor.
Oh, boo-****ing hoo.
When franksolich was younger and greener in judgement, franksolich drank a lot; too much. My favorite beers were Coors Light, Olympia Light, Tuborg Light; wouldn't touch anything heavier.
I also spent three winters in Europe during those years.
Never once did I whine about their beer, ale, stout. It was what they liked, I was only a guest, and it would've been bad manners to disparage their tastes, and whine that mine should be catered to.
What is it about primitive, who think the world's supposed to adjust to them, rather than they to the world?

18. So many excellent beers in Europe and you only drink Coors?
I'm sorry, but that's just astonishing.
Live a little! Take a chance! You never know what you're missing if you don't even try something different.

22. You think i havent tried other beers? lol! i have
And don't like them.

9. Those "beers" don't pass the Reinheitsgebot (purity law)
This sounds like complaining about not being able to find Wonderbread, Velveeta Cheese and Hershey bars to me.
I'm in Germany for 3 months a year and I always love the food.

10. That's because they drink real beer
^^^Oh, shut the **** up, primitive.
Coors Light, &c., &c., &c., is just as much "real" beer as any other beer.
It's just a matter of taste.
Arrogant bastard. Probably eats his beef raw too, like a neanderthal.

13. Seriously! My husband and I were in Germany a few years ago and we were in Munich, at a bar drinking very local beer brewed in a very old brewery that we'd never ever be able to get in the US, and this American sits a few seats away from us and asks the waitress if they have Budweiser. Well, there is an Austrian beer called Budweiser that is totally NOT USA "Bud". SO she brings him that and he has a fit. "No no no, BUDDD-WYYY--ZERRRR" he says, very arrogantly. She says "THATTTT ISSSS BUDDDVYYYZERRRR..." very sarcastically back to him and she goes to the bar and brings the bottle back. Oh he was like NO way, no how, I don't know what you're pulling over on me, I'm an american and I want American beer, BUDWEISER and the bartender, who's had it about up to his neck by now says very nicely and with the most awesome German accent ever "oh Sorry sir, she misunderstood you. She thought you said Budweiser, which is what she brought you. See, what you are asking for is translated roughly to "Stale Dog Piss," and we do not allow that to be imported to our country. So very sorry about that. We can, however, offer you authentic beer in its place, if you'd like...."
It
was
****ing
awesome
Asking for horrible non-beer Beer in Europe, and then getting annoyed that it's not served? That's rich.

25. four days, with two of them for travel can be a pain, but if your just going for business or
To see a family member etc its not to bad.

19. Germans drink real beer.
Not the piss water you wanted to get.
^^^Another ****ing beer snob.
I thought we were supposed to be the snobs, not the primitives.

23. Is there such a thing as a beer troll?
You might be it.
As no one of European heritage could possibly like one of the most awful creations of American beer culture .... and an insult to the very name of beer itself ....
I question your veracity.
darkangel218 (7,397 posts) Tue Oct 1, 2013, 11:09 PM
24. Tell that to the millions of people who prefer light beer
I guess we are all beer trolls

26. That is the beauty of Europe
No Coors or Miller light. They have real beer.
By the way, it's it about time for the darkangel primitive to leave Skins's island again?

So, she's from Europe originally.....NON-YANKEE GO HOME.

Frank, you are forgetting the most important aspect of this post. She is simply rubbing it in the faces of the other primitives that she was able to afford a trip to Europe. The beer is a red herring. :cheersmate:

I have no doubt, madam, that when you were living here in Nebraska, certainly alien territory, you appreciated that we do our own things our own way, and like our own things our own way.
I'll bet a hundred bucks you never once said, "Oh, but we do it better in California."
We have manners.
You know, I went to Boston six times during the late 1980s, early 1990s, for two weeks at a time.
Never once did I complain about that stupid round hard bread with holes in it; they like it, I was a guest, and so best to be polite. Never once did I whine about the foul air of Boston. Never once did I point out the decreptitude of Boston. Never once did I say, "Well, we have better food in Nebraska, than you guys do here in Boston." &c., &c., &c.
We have manners; the primitives don't.

That is exactly the point of this post.
Its akin to..I dont know... posing your cat next to your handgun and Coach bag, so they would get photographed 'in the background' of the intended subject.

How trashy.

Holy shit. Talk about throwing pearls before swine, of all the things that are FUBAR in Europe, beer isn't one of them. Even French beer is immeasurably better than the swill she was seeking. And Munich, of all places, in Fest season, too.
:mental:

They don't have American beers there because of protectionism, too. See what happens when you restrict competition, DUmmy?
-
It's not like she was in Bloomington, IL for a week and the only beer available is Miller or Coors Light.
Drinking domestic beer in Germany is like going to Paris and eating at McDonalds.

Edited to add my post. :runaway: I just don't understand? :panic: It's freaking crazy! I can't believe I read all that up there. I weep for humanity. :bawl:

I learned how to brew beer and did it for a living because Bud,Miller, and Coors products are of poor quality and flavor. Bud in the states stole its persona from a brewery of similar name in Czech republic. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budweiser_Budvar_Brewery I know Wikipedia sucks but this one is close to the history. I was SO happy when Bud was bought by InBev... they deserve it ....I hate Budweiser they suck what they try to put over on the small brewery's with their pull for laws and such. If you like lighter beers there is a world of REAL beer out there that is not brewed with fillers and adjuncts, by real brewers and not "beer" factories where what they produce is a true waste of grain.

Okay, this has to be a mole. He was in Munich during Octoberfest and is complaining that he couldn't get Coors? My god, I just got back Sunday after sitting in the Pauliner tent, and almost cried when I got home and realized that even if I could get some of the beers I was drinking over there, they just wouldn't be as fresh.

Never underestimate a picky girl in a strange location.
My sister would do the same thing. Maybe not with beer, but going out to dinner with her can be a nightmare.

Europe makes some pretty good beer. Talk about picky.

It's like going to Manhattan and not ordering pizza.
So wrong.

Perhaps I'm un-American, but there is no way in hell that Bud or Coors or Hamms can compare to 90% of the beer in Germany. It's like a German who comes to Texas and complains there isn't any good schnitzel in a good steak restaurant.
Frankly, this is one of the few times I would agree with a host of a foreign restaurant getting snotty at the guest's desire for an inferior product.

I just got back from a 4 day trip to Europe
No Coors or Miller light anywhere in Frankfurt or Munich
Or Uppsala, Sweden
Wtf?
I wasn't happy to say the least
dorkangeles went to Frankfurt, Munich, and Sweden in just 4 days? That didn't give her time to actually enjoy any of those places.
No wonder she missed her Coors. She could still taste the one three six she had on the plane.

Many will remember that DUmpangelnumbers is a mentally-ill woman who lives with wealthy parents.
A few months ago she was complaining about being taken to Hawaii.
In the past she's been active in the DUmp loonybin, and I think they take her on their trips because she isn't able to take care of herself.
On this one, though, I have to sympathize with her a little.
On occasion, I've had the same problem in eurotrash countries, running into people who claim to have never even heard of Rolling Rock.
The dark swill they drink over there isn't worth using as garden fertilizer.
-
What an ungrateful scrunt. I'd kill a DUmmy or two for the chance to go to Munich this time of year.

Since I know you lurk here....let me start by saying you goofy bitch are you out of your :censored: mind?
Wait don't answer that...I know the answer.
You're in a country that practically INVENTED beer...shit you were IN MUNICH DURING OKTOBERFESTand like some braindead moron (redundant I know) you bypass quality bier and go looking for the piss water.
Franzenkiner, Paulaner Oktoberfest, Hacker Pschor all of the different Kristal and Hefe Weizen's and Dunkels you ignored or refused to try because you wanted crap like Miller Light.
What an uncultured dullard you are. Gott sei Dank haben Sie Deutschland verlassen Sie hässlich liberal Kuh

I think CR nails it. H5 given.
When I drank, I used to absolutely love the beer variety in Germany, where even the little village we were stationed in (Bindlach) had its' own brewery. 4000 people and it had its' own brewery. 'Course, you couldn't get their beer outside of Bindlach, but they had their own brewery.
Tx is right--what a goofy idiot. :mental: ::)

Nah, Just a stupid B***H that repeatedly leaves DUmmyland after someone disagrees with her drivel. She's quite a few bricks short of a full load. Did she ever get her book back from her old boyfriend??

Pretty much.
The thread could be re-written as:
I'm wealthy enough to travel to Europe, come and flock around me you plebians...but I need to think of an excuse for posting this which isn't totally see through...I know, I'll some damn-fool comment about beer.

I don't think she's a braggart like Pam Dawson. She's a mentally-ill woman, in the care of her parents, who are apparently quite well-off.

When I was young and near the same area-code of stupid as the DUmmies I discovered that the more bottles, mugs, or cans of beer that you drink in one sitting lessens any concerns about the taste of the beer.
As for the taste of beer, a lot of years ago the Mill-top Tavern in St Augustine, Florida had one of the best micro-brews that that I have ever tasted. I think they may have made it themselves. When I went back a few years later it wasn't on the menu so I just ordered something else. No bitching. No moaning.

I learned the same lesson. After the second bourbon, they all taste the same; so I quit after two.

No kiddin. Munich during Oktoberfest is on my bucket list.
And while I'm partial to your beer of the cheap, cold, domestic variety, I'm also fine with a nice, dark, heavy, hoppy beer.
Which reminds me...if Scoobs doesn't mind, I'd like to make a batch of Oatmeal Stout in the near future. Even if I brewed it now it'd only be ready around Thanksgiving.
