International Beer Poll - Portugal

[Uncle Buck]

As I am bored today and have just got back from Portugal and do not want to be here, I thought it was time for an international beer poll and what with the Euro's still on what better than doing Portugal so here goes.

we had some stuff in Menorca...Spanish stuff like Crevenza which was very nice.

having said that after two jugs of sangria, I could have been drinking battery acid for all I knew. My youngest had a Pimms in a huge glass with some orange stuff in it and I was pissed after two mouthfulls

 

[Uncle Buck]

Super Bock is the one. Last Tuesday I was drinking it like water, it did not taste strong, but when I got up, I was hammered, discovered it was 5.6%. Luckily my travelling companion got me back to the digs.

As was being sung outside the ground;

Super Bock
Superstar
Gets you more pissed than Stella Artios.

Wasn't the Carlsberg non alcoholic?

In the ground, but in the paddy pub it was normal European piss.

I was warned about Super Bock long before I even went out there in February for the friendly by my mate who lives there. That stuff gives a killing hangover.

I found Tagus to be a quality beer and looking around it appears they do not do low alcohol lager over there.

Albion & England forever.

Sagres is quality stuff

 

[The Large One]

Sagres is nice, but Super Bock was very deceptive. Very light, very quaffable, and then when you weren't ready, you were absolutely banjacksed. 5.8% and rising. Bloody cheap as well - about 45p a bottle.

Could be the nutters' beer of the next few years here.

Tune of Tom Hark:

He scores with his cock
He scores with his knee
He drinks Super Bock
And his name's Rooney...

Holidayed in the Algarve last year - Got Super Bocked most nights. Splendid stuff.

 

[New York Geezer]

Super Bock for, the only hangover I got was courtsey of Beckham & Heskey.

 

[Dandyman]

Bohemia was my fave (being a weirdo real ale type) but Super Bock has it's attractions on a hot night.

He's fat, he's scouse
His mate's will rob your house
Wayne Rooney, Wayne Rooney...

 

[Jameson]

Super Bock for me although Sagres was nice too. Even the non-alcoholic stuff from Carlsberg in the grounds was drinkable.

Perhaps it's to do with being on holiday etc... where everything seems agreeable.

The Madeira beer is Coral - not bad either.

Super Bock was great beer.Anyone know if it available over here ?

 

[Ezekiel Rowe]

[Ezekiel Rowe]

shit, sorry...although I can be forgiven for the fact that it's been spelt Sarges Is it available over here? haven't had a chance to look yet.

Freely available in Stockwell, London's Portuguese enclave.

Cafe de Madiera on the Brixton Rd (I think) is good for Portugeuse tucker.

If you think a cold Super Bock went down well wait until we're in Southern Germany in two years time on a sultry June evening supping on an unpronouncable Weissbier. Then the hangovers will kick.

I'm with Dandyman with Bohemia being the quality beer of the trip. Sarges was far more palateble than Super Bok but unlike Buck I was able to handle my beer

There are a few Portuguese places off Camden High St. too - nice fish place and a couple of delis.
