Why not normal Becks?

Someone I used to know thought that Becks was named after David Beckham. He was a Man U fan.

Although Foster's is named after Ben Foster. #truestory

Don't get Becks Vier in Germany. It's just for the UK, Ireland and Holland.

Why just those countries do you think?

 

[Germlands Nozzer]

Apparently because we're more used to weaker beers e.g. ales, Carling etc. are generally 3.5%-4.5%, whereas European ones are generally 5% (or above).

That explains why US has Becks too!

Best beer name: Polygamy Porter - bottled in Utah. They have the slogan "bring some home for your wives".
(named after Cole Porter perhaps?)

It's not actually a Porter though- it's actually an ale... tastes terrible too- still, tourists like me pick up a 6 pack.

Becks or Becks Vier? Obviously Germany has ordinary Becks...

AH sorry... no not heard of Becks Vier.

Is Vier stronger than normal Becks then? I cant think, I think it is

I usually have Kronenberg, Peroni or Oranjeboom but mostly vodka or bourbon

I've not tried Samuel Adams chocolate Ale.


You have to be careful ordering cider in the US- they're just as likely to give you spiced apple juice with no alcohol. They call proper cider "Hard Cider" here- and cider to them is usually just apple juice with a few spices mixed in.

"Apparently because we're more used to weaker beers e.g. ales, Carling etc. are generally 3.5%-4.5%, whereas European ones are generally 5% (or above)."

"We" means English. As the English are more used to weaker beers, a special version was brought out (possibly also for safety reasons). Germans are used to stronger beers.
