Beer!!!!

[Dalyansteve]

I think it is about time that beer had its own thread, the trouble with all the other threads is it ends up being a discussion about beer.

So here goes, June, I have never heard of Yesil Efes, you say they had it in Istanbul Airport? Perhaps it was there for market research. Did you try it and more importantly was it any good?

Good news for m1cksut I went into LT's bar to see what they stocked, yes they have Dark but no they did not have Fici so I have asked them to look into it.

No Steve, I didn't try it - I think it was 11TL so out of my end-of-holiday price range.
I've also seen Dark Brown Efes, which is different from Dark Efes, apparently.

Raki's my other tipple - what is Fici?

[Dalyansteve]

Fici is draft beer in a bottle or can and is slightly less fizzy. There is also an export Efes pilsner in disposable bottles that is very nice, I think it is the same as you get in the UK.
I think the British Navy is dry now but the Med fleet used to have Efes on board.

Tuborg also do Fici in cans and bottles that I think is slightly better than the Efes version especially when it is on offer.

Going slightly off topic, I love Raki and all the other versions of it but I have proved it is very dangerous stuff and kills off zillions of brain cells.
My Doctor friend and I conducted an experiment one night with me drinking Raki and him Irish whisky. At the end of it I fell off the side of the mountain we were on and had to be taken to bed.
A week later we tried again but this time we both drank the Irish, polished off one and a half litres and both of us were fine, pissed but completely compus mentis.
