Why We Dislike Heineken, but Like the Commercials

Discuss. (right up until the ban)

The commercials are catchy. They aren't funny like Bud Light spots, but they still have a pleasant and friendly tone. The beer? Crisp to the point of being noxious. The finish is clean I guess, but overall it's just a beer that I in order to wash down heavier selections when nothing else in that category is available.

The bottle is nice.

Penix.

Heineken is overrated...

Yeah... If you want beer from that region, try
Stella Artios, Krounenbourg, Starobrno and Staropramen.
They are all better than Heineken.

I agree Those are much better. Heinekan is ... well... :confused:

It always tastes like its skunked. And that whole little keg thing they have makes it even taste worse. Yuengling FTW!

I have a system.

Jack until Im drunk, and then bud light because its cheap.

Heineken fits no where into that equation, ever. That and Corona. I think there both highly over rated. There's a local brewery around here, Opa-Opa, thats some pretty **** good beer. Berkshire Brewing is good too.

Why we dislike Choco but read his posts anyway.

:eek:

I don't like beer...

I don't drink beer, it tastes nasty :(

I'm trying to do more running, less drinking

I will no longer drink any budweiser products cause Anheiser Busch was bought by foreigners.

I like Kirin and Sapporo. cause those are the first beers I ever had.

When I want to get my redneck on and do some fishing and whatnot, I like Miller Lite out of an aluminum can.

I think I might try learning how to make my own beer/alcohol. alcohol turns to steam at 175 F

I don't drink beer, it tastes nasty :(

Yeah, wine's so much better :)

Although I can't drink at all due to my stomach issues. Although beer + sprite is GOOD.

More of a ******ss fan myself, I like beer I can't see through :)

Remember:

Beer before liquir (sp) nothing sicker
Liquier before beer all clear.

Friends don't let friends drunk drive

I prefer, "Driving by Braille is epic fail." It rhymes.

The best beer brands come from Denmark.

Tecate ftw.

I vote for Belgium bier; Hoegaarden, Leffe and Corsendonk

I like Killian's. >.> <.<

Leffe+++
cute british girl bought me that before, well no wait she was chinese, but she had that god awful accent but she was cute
****!

Dissing Dutch beer!

But yeah I agree.. here in The Netherlands Heineken is considered as the "random beer to drink in a disco", not quality stuff. Personally I prefer Alfa (also Dutch beer) as "drink for thirst" beer. As for quality beer, that'd be the german and belgium ones, those are the ones always getting the awards.

And yeah Kirin and Saporo are nice, but I only saw those as regular beer when I was in Japan, never seen them outside.

Actualy Heineken is not a beer but pils/lager. When it comes to beers Belgium is the place to be. period. They have many many kinds of beer and a bad one I still have to taste. When it comes to pils/lager Heineken is good, its clean, good flavor. Best is Grolsch imo though

DISCO DISCO GOOD GOOD!

Tsing Tao *high five*

That is a distracting avatar.

I vote for Polish and German beer, but the one comming from Denmark isnt bad too haha :)

/Agree Stella Artois :eek:

<3 Stella Artois

However, I like the "I need you" everyone being nice and giving everyone else a Heineken commercial. But it would be easy to spoof. Someone could do a vid. where the person is giving everyone else a Heineken....but drinking something different themself. (i.e. "Take this--I don't actually DRINK Heineken")

That could be good, it could be one party where everyone just passes around the beer, then it zooms back to the people that passed around the beer and they're drinking something else :)

There is nothing better than belgium beer

did some one say stag

Yea its true. But have you ever tried polish beer? Tyskie. Its so sweet.

Polish ppl drink home-distilled vodka?

alcohol turns to steam at 175 degrees fahrenheit.

BITBURGERRRRRRRRR LOALLLLL

no for reals yo heineken brown bottle ftwl :)

screw beer, Sangria ftw!

even tough the brand Heineken is Dutch, isnt it true that Americans drink totally diffrent (probably American made) beer then for example Europeans?

tbh I there aren't many American Beers left...sure there may be some "brewed" here but most of them are owned by foreign companies.

This American girl loves cider (Strongbow mmmm), and prefers the ales and stouts of the British Isles ^^ (Newcastle Brown, Boddington's, & ******ss)

Hmmm. You will be getting a lot of pm's from ***** brits, methinks.

Blackthorn Dry FTW

LOL, that's why I don't put my game name on forums. And so people who take this too seriously don't harass me in game for my opinions ^^

ah.

so what is your toons name again? we'll harass her instead, and leave you alone.

ah.

so what is your toons name again? we'll harass her instead, and leave you alone.

Any one can tell me why ppl call their ingame characters toons? Its like from cartoon and in every rpg system ppl are called characters not toons. Even in D&D system there is Character Sheet no Toon Note :P Pls tell me why toon. :P

comes from the movie "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?"

The movie mixes real humans and animated characters and the non-humans are called 'toons' and they live in a weird section of LA called 'Toontown.'

Also, the sexiest animated rabbit ever, Jessica Rabbit, made her debut there. Sometimes I will refer to Dark Elf female in game as 'the sexiest toon since Jessica Rabbit' and no-one under the age of 25 knows what I am talking about.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096438/ is the film.

Also, more about my Jessica Rabbit obsession....

Her voice was Kathleen Turner, and she was famous for the line: "I'm not bad...I'm just DRAWN that way."

I am 24( i think Oo) and I heard of Jessica Rabbit, we share a first name :)

Well, we named you after her actually.

Long story; I'll tell you when you are 30.

Choco, do I know you? Is that your main's name or? Maybe I'll realize I already know you in game and feel silly for being so anonymous here LOL

Choco on Phoenix, but rarely on. Was Choc for years on Gustin. Choc on Luna but I mostly play on Teon. Because of my hours, I like the euro hours for sieging and empty servers for xp'ing.

LoL I know that movie pretty well. Ic everybody who i a fan to Jessica compares her to DE in game, nice.
Anyway i like Roger and Dark Elves but calling charaacter a toon is some how weird to me. Some how my friends in game call theirselves toons so i dont have any exit in this situation. Think will call my too.

PROOF NCSOFT LOVES HEINEKEN:

They named a city in the game after it. The city of Heine.

did you think that up all by yourself?

Yes. Yes, I did.

nice

In an odd follow up...there was an article in the newspaper this morning about how much Heineken sales are growing and how well the marketing campaign is going.

Marketing&Distribution > Actual Taste TBH, which was kind of the point of the thread.

This is how no-talents like Britney Spears (http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=a9c_1219341209) make millions... :(

mtv says they aren't having brit on the VMA's this year - Brits hair stylist says she is :o

Whom to believe...

Her manager, Larry Rudolph, poured cold water on a report that Britney would try to erase memories of her disastrous performance at last year's awards show by strutting her stuff at the Sept. 7 show.
"She did the promo for them, but there never were any plans for her to appear on the show," a spokesman for Rudolph said. The spokesman said it was "wishful thinking" when Britney's hair colorist told E! News that he might be working on a look for her VMA performance.
Spears is up for three VMA awards, including the coveted Video of the Year prize.

:o

jesus.

what are we becoming?

Trolls is the current word if i'm not mistaken.

peace be with you.

This is one of my favorite beers. (http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y40/jfencl/Miscellaneous/intro.gif)

I couldn't drink Heineken after I visited the brewery a few years back when I was overseas. Got home from that trip and everything after that just tasted 'old' like it had been in storage for a while.

I don't think we're done with this thread yet.

I went to college with a guy who said:

"The best beer in the world is the beer that you can get the most of for your dollar."

Nooooooooooooooooooooo!

Steeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel Reserve, Yingling and Natty Ice were the big ones when I was in school. I didn't drink either though, lol.

Schmidt or "animal beer". Something like 22 cents a can. Gave you the Schmidts, though.

Sometimes Bumps are just important.

So worst cheap beer slogans/outcomes...


Genesee Cream Ale------> "Genny Screamers"

Fort Schuyler---------> "**** Skyward"

Old Style---------> "Old Stool"

Schlitz---------> "having the Schlitz"

Hamm's---------->"Hammster Piss"
