I wouldn't comment on someone else's drink choice (I'm sure they know what they prefer), but Heineken is so fucking disgusting

>DUDE it tastes like shit how can you drink a HEINEKEN
My roommate at college said this to me every time, in addition to making the obligatory water/piss comparison

>>14117552
Found the beer snob

>What do you mean you don't have any local micro-brewery IPAs?

>>14117571
Sure. I'm also a literature and music snob and a snob in very many other areas.
>B-but you can't say that other people have uncultured tastes!!
I sure can. It would be irresponsible not to

>>14117535
Heineken is like pretty bad but I wouldn't vocalise my judgement of ther shitty taste unless it's Guinness. Fuck Guinness, it tastes like dishwater. The only people who like it are Irish, everyone just drinks it as an Irish larp.

>>14117535
Heineken and Rolling Rock are complete shit even for cheap beer.

Miller, Coors, Yeungling, PBRs, and even Busch are better.

What you have is not a culture, it's a pseudo-culture made of a series of regurgitated pre-conceived ideas designed to make you appear cultivated when in reality you truly know virtually nothing about beer.

>>14117616
to be far if your going to drink cheap beer you could at the very least drink something like yeungling. heineken is guenuinely disgusting

>>14117624
I meant uncultivated desu

>>14117625
They taste like old bathwater. I'd rather have a Corona than a Heinekin or RR

Heineken is obviously not as good as a lot of more local beers, it's a basic beer, but it's not half as bad as the bro memes makes it to be.
I'd have a nice cold Heineken at the end of a summer day and be happy about it.
The issue I have is with all the people that are vocal about how 'Heineken is like piss', when we all know that they know nothing about beer and are just repeating what they hear. You can think Heineken is disgusting but being annoying about it is another story.

>>14117535
I only drink beer when it'd be impolite not to. Booze tastes like shit and I have no desire to get drunk in the first place. Some are obviously better than others, but I've never had a beer that I would prefer over literally anything else.

>>14117661
At the end of a hot day I'd much rather have a Miller Lite, Mic Ultra, or PBR.

Heineken is just bad. It doesn't even have the integrity to taste like piss like a Keystone or something. It tastes like stale bathwater.

>>14117700
>It tastes like stale bathwater.
No it doesn't... It tastes like a cheap beer, which it is. Stop being like a parrot repeating the same memes again and again.

>>14117711
I'm not. It doesn't taste like cheap beer. Busch Lite and Keystone Ultra taste like cheap beer. Heineken and Rolling Rock taste like nasty water. Like a less nutritious version of the shit that collects in my driveway's drainage.

I bet you're not even European, so why would you have an opinion about beer?

Most lagers taste roughly the same, it's the best kind of beer though as it is simply a great filler.

I myself prefer a ice cold can of Faxe.

Mmm love to drink hot, thick beer.

Thoughts on Blue Moon? I don’t drink beer often, but this is usually my go-to

It's everyone's first favorite beer. It's a little soapy though and you grow out of it quickly.

>Visit Prague
>"Omg you have to try Pilsner Urquell it's the best beer ever"
>Go to restaurant, it's okay, but want to try more Czech beers
>Next place only has Pilsner Urquell
>Eating at restaurant ask what beers they have on draught
>"Pilsner Urquell"
>Fucking everywhere only has Pilsner Urquell
>Go to Staropramen brewery
>Everything there is really delicious, way better
>"No dude you have to try unfiltered unpasteurised from the brewery in Plzen"
>Visit Plzen
>Do the tour
>Get the taster at the end
>It's still just kind of okay
>Spend the rest of the trip frustrated that I can only ever get Pilsner Urquell, or at a push Gambrinus wherever I go.

I've had better beers in Poland than Pilsner Urquell, why is it still held in esteem as one of the best beers ever.

Is American heineken different from the European one? Heineken here in Germany is overpriced but not bad, but boring if you're more into pilseners. Still better than all American lagers i had.

>>14117535
I drink craft. I also drink just regular beer if it's offered. It's best just to let people drink what they enjoy.

>>14117535
Nobody has drank Heineken regularly since before you were born, zoom zoom.

>>14117535
>Why are beer snobs so insufferable?
when you become a snob you have to talk and act like one or else you will be rejected. since they can't get laid they have to get their human contact from somewhere.

Yeah, there are better beers but you can get it almost anywhere and I'd never turn my nose up at it.

>>14117571
I am anything but a beer snob I drink high life. Heineken tastes horrible.

>>14117535
Literally nobody does this.

>>14117876
It’s ok. You can do much better and much worse without trying too hard.

CAMRA autism has almost managed to make me ashamed of enjoying cask ales.
Almost. I still fucking hate fizzy beers, and some imports are stupid expensive.

>>14118342
kek that last panel actually got me to laugh

>>14117700
For most people it tastes exactly like any of the other mass produced lagers with similar hops, they can't even tell them apart in an A-B test let alone an identification test.

I drink Heineken because it comes in a green bottle and it sounds tough. German is a rough language. That's all I need.

Always suppress your true power level around plebs.

>>14118508
It's Dutch.

>>14118652
Lagunitas is pretty shit as far as craft beers go, IIRC.

Now I know why.
