i wonder if germany are exporting way more beer these days. i think they must be. maybe also a new distribution thing or like, a national export agency pushing their booze on the world. otherwise why would our shops in LA and London suddenly be flooded with this stuff?

spent about two weeks in africa and, like a lot of places, there seems to be pretty much one beer on offer wherever you go. always a bit hard to weigh up for me - not that it matters, because unfortunately i'm not in charge of the country yet - they famously tasted like piss, unless you went to a proper pub and got an ale, which in themselves were 50-50 as to whether it would be nice, but there was something good about going into pubs and knowing which beer was what, about a decade ago when all you would see was: guiness, carlsberg or carling, fosters, castlemaine, kronenbourg and stella. now when i go to a pub i never know half of the beers on offer.

i'm thinking about giving performance feedback to one guy i drink with a lot, and have done for a few years. he's great up until anything after the 4th pint. if you can get him to start winding down on the 3rd then the night turns out golden. which is convenient because that's also the number of pints which i can hack without getting messy. but if my drinking companion goes over the 4th then he bulldozes on, gets sloppy, gets emotional, is liable to talk all kinds of shit. he is also temporarily my boss for the next few months so i might keep this to myself for a bit.

I like this personally. It's more fun to weigh up what you're having and try new pints etc than just have Stella every time like I used to. Never had a pint so bad I've had to send it back
