In many cultures, manly men are judged by two things- the type of women they date and the beer they drink. Each type of guy usually drinks a certian kind of beer, and it is far more accurate than any other stereotyping method.

See? Rockers drink Red Horse, yuppies drink San Mig Light (the hardcore yuppies drink San Mig Strong Ice), child laborers drink Beer na Beer, and fathers drink a lot of San Miguel Pale Pilsen. A lot.

However, if you wanna be all sophisticated, worldly, classy and shit, you gotta know what to drink, and where to get it.

Classy Guy

Fortunately for all of us classy men, Red Box is now offering different types of beer.

Red Box

They are now offering six beers from all over the world right off the menu. The British chef guy said the difference of the taste of beer was really in the water they use, and that’s why Pasig River beer never really took off the way its Marketing team wanted.

There’s the ever-popular German beer, Heineken. Tastes very smooth, and has very minimal bitter aftertaste. It’s got a very nice full flavor.

Beck’s, also from Germany (man, those guys are alcoholics), it’s a little bit more bitter than Heineken, though they taste very similar. The after taste is less prominen than the more famous Heineken.

From Belgium, Stella Artois, is a lot like having sex in a boat- it’s fucking too close to water. What the fuck is that? Is this just vinegar, some sugar and a little soda in water? Blergh.

They’re also serving the ever-popular American beer, Budweiser. It tastes a lot manlier than any of the other beer. But c’mon, who doesn’t know what Budweiser tastes like?

There’s another Belgian beer, HOEGARDEN. Yes, motherfucker, HOEGARDEN. It has coriander, so it has this really weird taste that I really didn’t like. The women loved it, though. So bring on the HOEGARDEN!

My favorite of the night was the Japanese beer, Kirin, it has a wonderful smoky flavor, and has a wonderful aftertaste. Now, the Japanese know how to drink!

Every month, they’ll have a beer-of-the-month thing. However, we weren’t informed on which beer they’ll have on which month. Best way to find out is to go there. Tell them TMB sent you, and you’ll get absolutely nothing, and we get a little free press.

Here’s something awesome, though- the Champagne of Beer.

Triple-fermented beer. Magnificent.

Have any of those beers and be known to be worldly, classy and sophisticated by your jologs friends.
