Does anyone know of any London pubs or bars that sell Danish Tuborg beer?
Thanks
Dave.
No but it is available in some good toilets
Be a man and drink Fosters
The Nordic Bar in London (just off Oxford Street) serves it, costs about
2.70 per bottle. They also sell Tuborg Julebryg at Christmas time.
It's a nice beer, much better than that other horseswill Carlsberg that
Danes produce, but it is really worth it? I was in Denmark earlier this
month and whilst it was the only beer I liked in Denmark, I had tried to
superb Swedish beers the day before in Malmö and they are so much nicer.
Mariensbad or something was one of them, gorgeous big bottle.
As far as lagers go, I avoid anything British, American or Australian as a
rule. I think the Czechs make the best lager (Staropramen, Gambrinus,
Pilsner Urquell, Budvar, Starobrno, yum yum), followed by the Zambians
(Mosi), followed by the Belgians (Stella), followed by the Namibians
(Windhoek), followed by the French (Kronenbourg), followed by the Spanish
(San Miguel, Aguila, Cruzcampo, Estrella, Mahou), followed by the Dutch
(Grolsch), followed by the Germans (Becks).
TRISTÁN
I tend to agree with most of this, although possibly the world's best is
Beerlao from Laos. Some of the Bulgarian stuff isn't bad either but I was
too drunk to remember the name as most of it is 13%....; I'd also add Rhino
to the Zambian selection. Anchor is good in Cambodia, but avoid Angkor like
the plague. Zambezi from Zimbabwe; Asahi & Sapporo Dry from Japan. Austral
from southern Chile is another.
Don't equal Australian beer with XXXX or Forsters, even VB is quite nice
actually. Though the English have some wonderful beers, sadly their lagers
are the worst in the world

never tried it, maybe i should

As a Belgian I firmly protest!!! Stella is horsepiss! no selfrespecting
Belgian would like to be caught drinking Stella. Interbrew makes a great
lager though, but that's Jupiler, not Stella
Anyway .. I'd prefer a good Gueuze, Palm or De Koninck any day over any
lager ..

very nice indeed
> followed by the French (Kronenbourg)
drinkable .. but nothing special .. I'd rather drink French wine or Cidre

agreed, these are far worse than Stella :P I'd rather stick to wine in
Spain too
> followed by the Dutch (Grolsch)
drinkable, but Oranjeboom is a much better dutch beer
> followed by the Germans (Becks).
I don't like german beer much .. but i guess that's more of a
personal preference than anything else ..

I second that on Staropramen. My previous company used to do the brand
for Staropramen (it was part of the Bass portfolio) and a few years ago
they needed a bar manager at late notice to run the Staro stand at BBC
Good Food show at the NEC. The job was basically to man the stand,
organise the beer supply, manage the two other staff and hand out free
samples of draught beer for four or five days.
I already had a week's holiday booked, but nothing to do, so I
volunteered (for £120 a day plus expenses it wasn't a difficult
decision). I managed to save a couple of cases of the bottles for
myself, as well as some of the branded tankards.
Lovely beer, too!
