The Beer Post!


Let's face it: Beer is important. (Sorry, Eric. You can skip this post.)

As most countries have a national beer or two, so does Portugal. While Portugal produces several, the two most popular are Sagres and Super Bock. So let's compare these two, shall we?

Sagres is your basic light beer. It's simple, it's good, and it should do just fine for any beer drinker.

Super Bock, well, let's just face it - it has an awesome name! But, more importantly, it has a great taste. While similar to Sagres, it is just a bit darker. I definitely prefer it between the two.


However, each beer has some other redeeming qualities. Sagres sells 5 liter mini kegs which you can keep in your fridge, and don't require a special dispenser, unlike some sold in the US. It has its own tap built right in. Here is a picture of John demonstrating how to pour yourself a nice draft beer from your own refrigerator.


On a final note, every movie we've seen in the theater here has a Super Bock ad that comes on before the previews. We really like the ad and the song that goes along with it, which is by a British alt/rock band named "Air Traffic". Watch the minute and a half clip here if you'd like.

So, for anyone who'd like to compare the two and give us your vote, just come visit. We'll even provide the beer!
