The Tablet Tavern

Pft, it was just a comment :p besides, I can't seem to get along with men around my age (especially good-looking ones, so I normally end up with the nice albeit perhaps not as good-looking guys), so I go for the older folk :D

Lots of profs can't either, but they still persist :rolleyes:
 
Me and the son on the Heineken tour a couple of years ago ...

Nice :D
Heineken Tour?

Yeah, at the Brewery in Amsterdam. They have a very effective strategy there. They take you though the whole place but to get out you have to go through the gift shop after they have given you some free samples. ;)

that's usually the technique :D but I have an iron grip on my purse strings :D

That's the original, old brewery actually. The one doing the main work nowadays, for the Netherlands and for export, is in Zoeterwoude. Quite nearby my home :D
 
Heineken has always been about consistency and distribution (they teach you that on the tour :D ) Grolsch is more about flavor. Anyone for some Puntigamer?
 
Oddly I used to live next to the Grolsch brewery before :D
Grolsch is higher quality, more flavour.
Heineken is high quantity beer, a marketing story.
 
Yup. Heineken is more for festivities, large events, folks beer. Grolsch was of a smaller brewery, with a nearby university. Former students 'brought' it to the rest of the country. A bit elite beer. Tastes better. Their bottles have a porcelain cap.
Belgium beer is very nice :D
 
to be fair Kaat said "quantity" for Heineken.

I've been drinking Carlsberg lately.

Carlsberg is light, Danish beer.
US beer is 2.5%. Dutch regular beer is 5% or even upto 12%.Heineken and Grolsch is 5% here. Belgium beer us heavy too (5-15%).

I beg to differ on the alcohol content.

I remember being in Paris for work and going out to restaurants for dinner. Look at the menu, hmm..., 6.50 for a Coke, 6.00 for a Bud, 3.50 for a Heineken. Well, I saved the company money.:p

Not to mention that 6.50 Coke came in a 200 ml can. In Paris we drank wine by the pitcher, and in Vienna it was beer by the liter. We'd have gone broke if we stuck to "American" beverages.
 
Bud is import for Paris, so paying taxes/fees. Heineken is Dutch, but from within the same eurozone. Free trade in goods and travelling for people. No importcosts on Heineken.

Paris is expensive though.
