Screenshots Beer Exchange

[Tingteng]

I did this a long time ago at another forum and it was good experience.

The Objective of the thread is to bring beer lovers from around the nation/world together so that we can share some of the local flavor with others and in exchange receive some beer we would normally not be able to get.

I'm lucky to live in Beervania, Portland Oregon. I have a large number of great breweries in my area, but I always look out for more flavors from all over. In fact I'd love exchange beer people from with other countries if the postage isn't too exorbitant.

I can take requests or I can suggest a fine local brew.

Who wants to trade?

I wouldn't mind shipping some beer over from Costa Rica.

Here's some epinion poster's take on the local beers, too lazy to type my own description.

Imperial:
Costa Rica's most popular brand, it seems like you can't move 10 feet without spying the very Russian looking eagle-emblazoned logo of Imperial. The beer itself is a straightforward American-style pilsner. Light bodied with a somewhat sweet malt and corn base, a crisp dry mouthfeel, and just a light pepper kiss of hops in the finish.

Pilsen:
The second-most popular brand in Costa Rica, Pilsen is also available just about everywhere. It's somewhat lighter in body and color than Imperial, and the flavor is thinner with more corn apparent and virtually no hops character beyond that needed for balance. It's similar to U.S. brands like Keystone or Milwaukee's Best.

Bavaria Gold:
The Bavaria product line seems to be the upscale image section of Cerveceria de Costa Rica's product line. They're better marketed and more attractively packaged, with foil labels and neck wrapping, and there are three styles under the Bavaria banner. Bavaria Gold claims to be a Dortmunder style lager, and it is noticeably better in quality than either Imperial or Pilsen, with a firmer body, a cleaner flavor with less corn and sulfides apparent in the flavor, and a drier mouthfeel with a bit of grassy hops noticeable in the finish.

Bavaria Dark:
The label says "dark beer", but most of the bartenders and waiters refer to this one as "Bavaria Negra". It's a very nice, well-crafted Vienna style dark amber. It reminds me of a cross between Mexico's two big Vienna beers: Negra Modelo and Dos XX. Lighter in color and somewhat drier than Negra Modelo, it's also darker in color and maltier than Dos XX. It has a very well rounded mouthfeel with some soft malt sweetness and low hopping rates that let the malt really dominate the balance. The flavor and aroma are very clean, with no defects and with no adjunct signatures.

Bavaria Light:
Typical thin, watery low-cal and low-alcohol beer with a harsh bitter bite and no body to back it up. It's as good as light beers sold by major U.S. breweries.

Rock Ice:
Typical thin, watery, unbalanced "ice" beer that strikes me as badly conditioned and somewhat oily feeling on the palate.

Sorry i don't read general

Besides, this is a beer exchange. I'm actually offering to send beer to someone's house if they offer a good one.

Shipping? Why not just suggest it then let the jerk go to a boutique liquor store and buy it? Considering much of the imported stuff is indeed, imported and not produced locally, this kinda saves you going to the post office and spending $10 on shipping a beer to someone.

My suggestions are:

Coopers Red
Cascade Pale Ale

You don't have to. I just remembered the thread from a few months back and thought you might be interested in it. But clearly all you are interested in is orphan rape and necrophilia!!!!

There is no fucking way I'm mailing beer, but if someone wants to try Live Oak Hefeweizen, it's one of the best Hefeweizen's I've had on-tap.

Other then that, not really any 'amazing' beers I can think of from Austin.

Well here in Amsterdam the local brewery is Heineken so, heh.

They should start selling this over here though:



Definitely a favorite of mine. Too bad it's Belgian

If you dig hoppy beers...this is the one beer to rule them all ;p It's not too hard to find either.

They already sell Stella in Orlando. Not too shabby, but I'm still more into Sam Summer than most beers at the moment.

they do sell it in the netherlands bud....look for the Dommelsch bars. Stella is a part of Inbev wich holds Dommelsch,jupiler,oranjeboom, stella artois, and about 50 other breweries.

but then again amsterdam is a bit stuck up when it comes to heineken :P same as my part of the country where the majority is bavaria and dommelsch.

For everyone in the USA i highly suggest a trappist beer.
