Efes is a strong German/Belgian type beer I think (5% versus our usual 3.4% Gnat's Pee we drink at home) Stella is referred to as "Wife Beater" here in the Midlands in certain places.

Oh by the way, when in Spain San Miguel is referred to as Senorita Beater:D

Some bars sell Tuborg lager which I find less gassy & not a strong tasting as Efes but same strength 5%.You can also get bottled bud & millers light in some bars.Raki is like pernod & like Cenk says will make you sleep well & probably a bad head if you have a few

I think you'll find that Efes is an above average pilsner made with malted barley,hops and rice,not a chemical beer !

If by Belgian you mean Stella - I think you will find it's made on license in the UK by Whitbread.

As for Efes - it is a premium lager and not all chemicals at all.

Any of you that have spent time in Belgium and Germany know indeed they do produce some of the finest beers. By that token so does the UK but I wouldn't put Carling in that category. What I'm saying is Efes is akin to what you find in everyday bars served to the masses in Belgium and Germany.

I wouldn't say Efes is a blindingly good drink (although drink enough of it and you will go blind:D) by any means but hey, I've drunk much worse around the world. In South America there are german style beers that taste more like paraquat!!

Yuk, a beer that tastes like a wooden floor!
