Everytime beer talk comes up I just want to fly you Euros over here for 3 days of real beer tastings

What is that dish of rancid looking brown liquid at the top of this picture?

USA and real beer lol.

Forget it with the Bud Lites.

This guy gets it

LFC, it may surprise you to learn that America is actually a popular tourist destination for a lot of Europeans. As such, we've tried lots of American beers. I myself enjoy them a lot. However, Belgium>Merica

^you're god damn right

joejoe it may suprise you that Europe is a very popular tourist destination for many Americans. As such i have been to Belgium and tried many Belgian beers (including a wild night at the Delirium Cafe) I partially disagree with your statement. There are some phenomenal Belgian beers, but across the board the USA craft beers are significantly better and much more diverse

Out of curiosity what American beers have you tried? And what were some of your favorites?

i'm currently dating a west ham supporter which would've been a dealbreaker if i was forced to watch fat sam ball on saturday mornings but your lot has been tolerable this year (rip payet)

it's true. whenever i lurk this thread, i see aofrantic posting aofrantic bad things and cashy mancrushing giroud still so some things never change

LFC what is your criteria for a country having the better beer? Does volume matter? If a country has 10 brands of beers : 5 A+, 3 A's and 2B's is it better than a country that has 20 brands of beer : 3 A+, 10 A's and 7 B's ?

Also worth pointing that the beer landscape is a lot less centralized in America due its size, the availability and width of belgian beer within the country is what makes it elite. lots of countries have elite beers

Rooney finally dropped, its about time, he stopped delivering a long time ago.

@philipsaurus 4 slates (sat epl 11/21, ucl 11/24 11/25, sat epl 11/28. 10 am start epl games ) 1 lu per slate best combined score for all lu wins. If **** gets banned in NY mid bet then we use completed games and bet will be 250 per game completed (still best total for completed games obv). Well do a free head 2 head game and just track scoring that way. (Will ss game with your name blanked out if you insist on hiding your dk name)

You will need to pm me your dk name before I will accept any bet however. Not because I particularly care as there's basically no one I won't play. But because you'll need to give it to me regardless so we can make the games and I don't know you so not wanting to give me your name is just super shady/red flag for me getting free rolled.

Will also want bet to be escorted for full amnt

LFC is basically full blown Yanktard on the Beer issue.

His criteria for dismissing English beer are a few off pints he had once in London.

I love Euro beer. I've said repeatedly that Kabinet Brewery's Supernova is one of the best beers I've ever had. Belgians are great. That room temperature **** in lol London is trash though gotta be fair. England definitely not at the top of the beer hierarchy even with their normal beer.

Europe does so many things better than USA, but USA has completely dominated the beer market. I get this is because most tourists don't know about it/get a chance to try it unless they're making beer an integral part of their trip. Basically USA has mastered all the varieties of beer. So if you love Belgians, there are a number of USA breweries that make a Belgian that is better than many of those in actual Belgium. There are hundreds of elite breweries here, with elite beers in their various categories. You can find an elite porter, elite stout, elite IPA (elite 2x, 3x IPA), elite pale ale, elite gose, elite saison, elite wheat, etc... I don't know any other country in the world that can boast that. And then I'd be the elite of the elite's in this country against the elites of any country around the world and USA would win >80% of the time

i'm going to insist on 3 lu per slate for various reasons

you should have a huge edge anyway with all the changes to their scoring structure with your modelz anyway

ucl is fine as long as it's a non-arsenal slate

ya w/e, i'll send you my name once we finalize terms, not a big deal... escrow is also fine

Its so philistine Yank to dismiss an entire culture of beer off one bad experience they had one time once in one part of a Country.

Sometimes you got to scorch the earth so the thread can rebuild.

Particularly tolerable on the first game of the season, I found.

But this isn't accurate. I've been to England 3 times and different parts of the country at that. I'm not writing it off, just didn't stand out like others did.

No bigger Tuss in a thread than the self appointed sheriff.

just drink vodka

All this means was you were served a dodgy pint and are to noob at beer to be able to tell.

Not budging on 1 lu (I'll be using my cash lineup and have no desire to fiddle with additional cash style lineups). We can extend it to more slates if you want.

Non arsenal ucl is fine but not sure why that even matters ?

Basically LFCs claims about beer are just an analogue of Altidore > Sturridge.

OAFK on fire! Altidore is terrible fwiw. He's like a dodgily served English cask ale

Hello guys, sorry to intrude but I follow this forum regularly and don't know of a better place to post this question. If anyone does, please let me know.

In a 2-team league with the occasional outsider champion like La Liga, if I want to bet that Barcelona will win it 10 years in a row, what would be a fair odd? Suppose it's June 2015 btw.
The bet is actually about the portuguese league, but it's pretty much the same thing.

My non-maths, non-stats, eye test guess would put Barca at ~100:1
