Not a huge fan of light beers, I've never been able to taste a discernible difference between them.

stella artois and pilsner urquell aren't bad.
I was thinking more along the lines of coors, bud, miller, ect. All the same to me.

I think they were Swedish, not sure though, I remember posting an ebay link to a pair of the originals a long time back. I think the black slouch boots are way better than the desert boots in any color, though I love the equestrian vibe the tan and white gives off. I cannot stand wine and beer from a beverage standpoint.

sick nonetheless. i'm sure price was astronomical. junya's reconstructed clothes are more useable i think than margiela's reconstructed clothes. margiela's pieces are more like art than actual clothes. for example

it really is that bad.

Oh and for beer, definitely try some of the flemish sour ales. My favourite is Duchesse De Bourgogne.

Definitely, I don't know if it tops Shepherd's Dog but it is pretty solid. Nice to see him making a bigger toybox instead of sitting around whispering to himself for his entire career.

This is great, I found it on draught in Brussels last month.

SPK mentioned Rodenbach, but Rodenbach Grand Cru far surpasses it.

Thanks.

Took a look at Yohji Yamamoto and perhaps suprisingly I actually like a lot of it. Not keen on the Y3 stuff but the mainline is pretty good. Living in rural Kent it's not something I could convincingly wear even if I had the funds, but I like much of what he's done.

I wish we had easier access to some of the decent US brews - the odd bottle I've had have been good. Sam Adams crops up sometimes but mostly we get your garbage coors, bud, miller, etc.
I doubt you get many of our better brews though...

You're right those do look very wearable - it helps that the model's cute, but they look good.

Yeah, budweiser(budvar) is a favourite of mine and had a nice pilsner urquell last night. Stella is nice too, but would say it's a bit behind those two. Another nice czech beer to try is Gambrinus and of course you could always go for Staropramen although personally I've grown a bit tired of that one. Would also recommend Innis & Gunn if one would like to try a lighter beer with some taste
