Hofbrau Export

[grumbas]

You don't see Hofbrau on the pump often in the UK, but despite it claiming to be only 4.3% I swear its the most lethal beer known to man!

2 pints seems to have the same effect as about 6 of anything else - what the hell do they put in it?

Drank it all day and all night at the Hofbrau house in Munich. Woke up feeling fine to continue the next day with my giant pretzel and beer orgy.

Didnt seem that strong to me. If i'd done that in the UK I'd be ill for a week

Leffe is lethal.

Ah, a schoolboy error - the stuff we get in the UK is brewed 'under licence' somewhere in Dorset I think, so god knows what's in it!

I agree though, the volumes that can be consumed in Munich without the slightest of side-effects are staggering.

Sorry, i meant Leffe 9 and Leffe triple.
Both are more than capable of putting you on your arse the next day.

4.3 not strong? A few carling and I am telling the mrs I like her (thats a bad thing)

Ok I've not had a pint since last november but still does beer need to be full of alcohol for you to enjoy it? My OH calls me at times to ask if I want a bottle of wine from the supermarket and I ask her if she can find something that doesn't have 14-15% alcohol in it.

Everything is becoming battery acid these days, feck the taste.
