I've had Heineken (once)...

"...the beer itself is really excellent…comes closer to Heineken’s beer in terms of quality than any other beer from any of our other foreign breweries..."

How do you make Heineken? Give a chap a Belgian beer and a Heineken bottle, and ask him to piss in the bottle

How do you make Heineken?

I had a job once working in Heineken's main bottling plant. My job was to cut the plastic off the pallets of bottles as they came in, press some buttons to get the bottles on the conveyor belts and then keep an eye on them until they had been filled and went into the pasteuriser. Our line (and there were several in the plant) devoured about 200 bottles a minute, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

It was widely said and accepted on the workfloor (but I don't know if it's actually true or not) that the magic of turning tap water into a bottle of Heineken on an off-licence shelf took all of seven days.

thats about right, full of flavour with that brewing time. i believe some lagers are quicker now, especially the extra cold. as anything served cold reduces the flavour.

Indicating the vast size of the market for the dreadful stuff, and neatly demonstrating the veracity of Sturgeon's Law!

Just come with some Westons Peri...

Excited by the thought of this new taste sensation, are you?

I've had a good old reliable De Ranke XX bitter and MsM has chucked away yet another decidedly off Kwak. We bought eight of the bloody things. Bosteels, bah! B)

I also bought a bottle of Red Spanish Berbarana for £3.99. Must be good - it's 13%!

Aaaahhh - you've the same keen eye for fine wine as me - 13% and £3.99 - sounds like a vintage...do share! B)
