Stupid assholes! u know a shit about beer! all europen brands which are bottled in Romania are full of chimical shit…trust me y know. Y also seen the Dracula’s brewery and y must say that all the ingredients are naturaly…the only problem is that they don’t keep the beer enuogh for the fermentation process and sell it quickly. y do not say that the dracula beer is better but almost is naturally. if u want to taste a really awesome beer try Leffe! is really good. or try Paulaner, Franziskaner …not that shit that is called tuborg or carlsberg…even ursus premium pils beats them. see u

Silva Dark is a great beer, no doubt. Cuic is quite okay, but I’d put it on par (more or less) with Ursus, Timisoareana, Silva, or similar. The Timi beer is perhaps a little sweeter.

Good point about the foreign brewery acquisitions. Slowly but surely it will have an impact on the local market. (Hint, hint – future review is forthcoming.)

Worst beer in Romania is Timisoreana (I haven’t trid Dracula, it has to be said). Best is Silva dark and Ciuc (maybe a bit of local bias, but I’ve done a lot of tsting and it just beats Ursus)

(All Romanian beer bar some of the very little known breweries is foreign owned – the brewery in Ciuc for example is a Heineken run opertaiuon for example, and ursus is brewed by a combination of Miller (US) and SAB (South Africa)

Have no fear! If we get together in Cluj soon, I’ll most likely remember to introduce you to the wonders of Dracula’s finest… and see if you can conquer the beast!

Lies! Lies! All beer is best consumed cold. Or, at least, so I will believe for a long time to come anyway.

The USA produces some crap beer, to be sure. If it’s a big name like Budweiser, Coors, Miller Genuine Draft, or such… well, then it’s not very good. But let me assure that it’s not radically different from most European beers like Pilsner Urquell, Turborg Gold, Ursus, DAB, or any number of other generic lagers and ales. A lot of them suck.

I’d say the 3rd best country for beer is Germany. The 2nd best is Belgium. The best? America. But not for the mass-produced, popular sellers. No ma’am. There are hundreds (if not thousands) of top quality small breweries who produce an amazing variety of unbelievably fantastic beer. Really, it would knock your socks off. Visit Portland or Seattle and sample only local companies. You’ll find it hard to come back home…

FWIW, I should not admit that I’ve had far more than 200 varieties of beer in my day. Shhh… it’s our secret.

Fleas in a Dracula hotel make all the sense; something should suck your blood.

Each beer is best consumed at different temperatures. I learned that from a Stella Artois Belgian who could tell 200 different beers.

I would never taste the allegedly worst beer in the US of A :))
