I will add to this thread. I took a break from Wondercon yesterday, and knocked back a couple of Sierra Nevada pale ales at a local bar. Definitely a great day! I expect a repeat performance this afternoon.

We had a record-breaking April temperature of 32.4 in the shade (centigrade, just in case you're thinking it was "cold") yesterday. It was Saturday and I just needed a beer. Stayed out until about 4 in the morning. Got home very pished.
Do not follow my example, people! That alcohol is baaaad (and I mean bad, just in case you're thinking I mean "good"). I have become brain dead. But I think I had some good times in the process.

Sounds me like on Friday. I drank untill I hardly could stand up, and then BICYCLED home, for some reason. Playing with my life, that!
Anyways, that temperature sounds insane! We've had about 15 C here in Oslo today, and I thought THAT was mild for the season! Then again, there's still snow in my garden.

Over the years, I've been a fan of the much-maligned Budweiser (in it's many variations).
I know many 'real-ale drinkers' look down their noses at it, but on a hot, sunny day, I find nothing quite beats that clean, refreshing taste (aaaahhhhhhhh!!!!).
I like most light beers, especially the Spanish and South American brews.
I'm not a big fan of the dark/malty beers or things like Becks or Grolsch.
I do love 'trying out' new beers though.
Do you drink import beer Thor, or stick with your local brew?
Both. I'm a beer lover (and explorer) in general.
Lots of import beers, though. I've fallen in love with Belgian beer (Duvel, Orval, Leffe), but they're hard to come by and very expensive here. I like an odd weizbeer too, like Paulaner. And once in a while, a dark beer like Guiness, Kilkenny etc. My favourite beer is produced by a micro-brewery on the small island of Fur in Denmark (where we also happen to own a summer house). Lots of different types - bock, pale ale, lager, wheat, porter, steam beer, barley:

BBQ at a friend's place outside the city tonight. He's got this porch thingie that is recently refurbished. Should be good, esp. with the semi-summer day today (almost 20 C). Several specialty beers bought, both import and Norwegian.
Cheers!
BBQ! It sounds so good!!! What import beer ? Do you drink much beer ?

I must admit that I'm quite unfamiliar with Japanese beers, though. Is it a "beer country" at all? What are some famous Japanese beers?
Famous Iapanese beers are Kirin,Asahi & Suntory. Japanese people like BBQ too. This season
many people go to river side or under the tree for BBQ.Is there the menu only in Norway at BBQ ?

I'm not sure what you mean with "menu only". For private BBQ's, people bring whatever they wish to eat. Today, I've brough some special meat types of which I don't know the English translation (sirloin??). One is seasoned with Persi cheese, the other Palermo style.
I mean Sardine or Salmon. Sirloin is special meat!!!
