Hertog Jan, the best beer in the world!

[7DeadlySins]

Mathias "Warlord" Nygård already discovered the best beer in the world, Hertog Jan. Since he really seemed to enjoy the taste of this beer, AndreasS and me gave him a can of Hertog Jan beer during the Turisas gig in 013, Tilburg. (28-01-2009)
And there's more where that came from!



Hertog Jan ("Duke Jan") is a brewery in the Netherlands. Originally Hertog Jan was a brand only, owned by distributor De Kikvorsch in Deest. Under this brand several types of beer were released, of which the top-fermenting beers were all made at the Arcense Stoombierbrouwerij in Arcen. In the early 1980's this brewery had played a major role in the revival of beer culture in The Netherlands. In 1995 it became part of the international Interbrew (now InBev) group and in 1998 was renamed to Hertog Jan Brouwerij. The brewery is named after John I, Duke of Brabant.

Howdy,

I am only partially hijacking the thread . . .

Is there a mapping of Turisas concerts and beer brand sampled on stage during the show? Maybe even a summary of the live review?

Like:

The Unknown Tour, 2008, Philadelphia -->> Yuengling
Opinion: no idea that Chinese beer was being made in Pottsville, Pennsylvania

I am especially curious what was drank in Canada. I hope it was not Molson Canadian!! The Belgian style beers from Quebec, made by Unibroue, are very good especially the La Fin du Monde.

I don't like beer. Nor any other alcoholic drink *runs and hides*

[7DeadlySins]

@wm_crash: I don't know if there's a mapping for that, although Mathias said the beer during the American tour was total crap! Here in Holland they often get Dommelsch, which is ok either, but Hertog Jan is the best!

@regje: Cari doesn't like beer either, but she likes Hertog Jan. So you might like it too *runs towards you with a can of Hertog Jan beer*

[regje]

[Cari]

we can do the job together

[Cari]

I completely missed that post *laughing*

My story with Molson Canadian is a little bit sad. I was living in Montreal at that time and drove all the way to Kitchener. On the way, I stopped in Toronto see a friend hadn't see in a long time. He was not doing so well at all with money. But out of his poverty, he went out and bought a case of beer just because I was coming over: my introduction to Molson Canadian. I would have rather had chlorinated pool water, but couldn't bring myself to say anything.

HAR! The famous Nijmegen-HJ incident ^^

I knew someone made pics of that xD

7219: that's right around the part SOMEONE (...) called me cheap.

[ingrid]

7188 is my Salmiakki

And I really like 7209

[AndreasS]

7209 is great great for weird photoshop captions ^^ lets make an off-topic thread about that xD

and I just saw your Salmiakki photo ^^ I almost forgot about it

good times had... (as always during a Turisas gig I might add)

[Cari]

*laughing* captions are always fun to make up

(a pity noone seemed to have photographed the reactions on my placard in den bosch XD)

[AndreasS]

They should have photographed that from the stage, that would have been great for captioning xD

[Cari]

*lol*
i just want some memories on that, not just the ones in my head XD XD

Im sad to say that at the vancouver show 12/19/08 they were given boston brewed beer

[Cari]

what?
oh no, why do the venues not stricly only give the bands the local beer? would be way cooler imho!

Mathias complained about the 'piss' he was given to drink in Paris. We promised to bring him some Newcastle brown next time we see him, it's the only alcohol I've not heard him complain about

[Cari]

hertog jan and the beer in frankfurt seemed to be liked aswell...and he likes Guinness if I remember right *thinks back to Dublin*

[dennisrammstein]

I love that picture of Warlord with The Hertog Jan logo on his cloths.

Almost makes him look like a God to me XD The God of Beer and Music

the HJ logo fell off btw, i saw it happen

I remember when they played the show in Calgary he had three different beers that night. Rickard's Red, Honey Brown, and White. The White (unfiltered summer beer) he basically called shit. Honey Brown decent, but the Rickard's Red he touted as being some of the best from North America. Especially after drinking "straight piss" in the United States.

On an aside, my personal favourite is Gouden Carolus from Belgium. The only problem is that there are only two liquor stores in the city that sell it. It's not a beer I'd drink everyday, more a treat on occasions. For everyday drinking it's usually something like an Erdinger, Killkenny, local Trad, Newcastle, or Rickard's Red (shocking right).
