The beers are different, and the breweries are owned by two different companies, but they do have many ties from the past, when the original Filipino brewery licensed it to a new brewery in Spain.

Although it’s not like I had them back to back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I can get the Spanish one here, though From what I recall, the Filipino one is lighter, whereas the Spanish one has a much more intense flavour profile...

I think where I’m at also has the Filipino one. Maybe I’ll bring some with me the next time I go home so I can do the back to back test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you drink them straight from the box, or do you put them in the fridge first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted January 8, 2023 Subscriber Share Posted January 8, 2023 20 minutes ago, Tommy said: How do you drink a beer on the sly side? Wait until the wife uses the bathroom? Many ways my friend but being married for over 40 years Liz gets to know all my sly ways and can smell a rat (me) by just looking at my face, normally I will get a drink from the chiller and sit it beside me with her watching my every move. Then, if I go to the loo I will sneak one in my back pocket as the box is in our bedroom, then when she goes to the loo I will take it out of my pocket, loosen the lid then sit that bottle down beside me when I finish the one I am drinking then I wait until she is not looking, replace the empty one in my claws and continue drinking. The best of the lot having a sly drink was drinking her Dry Martini she had in the chiller, once she had 3/4 of a bottle left and was around visiting our daughter, I drank nearly half of that then thought SHIT, as I noticed she had put a pen mark on the bottle on how much drink was left. So, all I did was fill the Martini bottle with lemonade up to the pen mark and put it back in the chiller, as the wife drinks Martini with lemonade a week later she decided to have her Martini, sitting there drinking away filling her glass up with Martini and lemonade, then about an hour later she said to me "That's weird, I have nearly drunk this bottle and it has no effect on me?", all I said, "Bloody hell, that is weird?" Told her what I did a week later, survived the many kicks to the bollocks, and continued on with married life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 I had a few sips of a Hamm’s tonight and I couldn’t be arsed. I have no desire for beer or any alcohol at all at the moment, instead popped the kettle on for rooibos tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
