I am somewhat lacking compared to some of you guys haha.
28x Rally Sweden (give or take one or two..)
2x Rally Finland
Agree with Colin. Citroen stays with the setup of drivers 2018. Don´t think Ogier will move from Ford.
What are you refering to?Quote:

Right Franky. But honestly it was mostly to get the thread going again. ;)
Ferna Branca is the drink of choice for Rally Argentina fans. Are there particular drinks that can be associated with other rallies and if so what ? https://youtu.be/u882gWL1m5M?t=46
I think Rum and Cola suits every event ... :)
Typo there - It's Fernet Branca.Quote:

Bison Grass Wodka in Poland
Estrella Damm in Spain
Everywhere pils and wine!
Definitely mini bottles of Sagres or Super Bock in Portugal.
I don't remember who but I'm sure there are some EWRC guy here.
I wanted to ask you, if it is possible, thanks to your huge database, to make a comparison between number of entry lists over the last 3-4 years, in all Europe. And maybe with some clustare like minor events, national events, international events etc...
Do you have APIs or something? Can this be done automatically?
I think that alcohol and sports doesn't belong together. Party in the evening, driving om daytime.
Beer isn't particulary good in -20 in february in the middle of a forrest eighter;)

I'm afraid those two plus Bavaria (made in Portugal) are the only widely available beers in Portugal. Super Bock is nothing special, but is the standard there. Not sure why foreign beer is not available.Quote:

A week ago in Portugal when I didn't have to drive myself anywhere? Hell yes. Le Mans 24 Hours in a few weeks. Would be rude not to have a few beers.
But each to their own.
Sorry jparker, but I don't think we have any beer called Bavaria in here. And you can find Heineken and Carlsberg almost everywhere... and Estrella Damm in the regions close to the border.Quote:

Like TFT said, foreign beers (and local craft beers) are everywhere but it’s also true that Sagres and Super Bock dominate Portuguese market since ever. Some years ago Heineken bought Sagres and SB was sold to Carlsberg, but the beer giants decided to keep our national brands at the top, as consumers are totally loyal to them. You’re entitled to find them tasteless, as taste is a subjective experience, but both are prized brands in international beer competitions.Quote:

@RP, your beers are great, don't get me wrong, but it's strange not to have Czech, Belgian, German beer in the supermarkets.
Heh, Bohemia = largest part of Czech Republic. Funny to see such name of a beer made in Portugal :) On the other hand we have Modrý Portugal (Blauer Portugieser) wine here (it's originally Austrian grape with such strange name) :D
Conwy Brewery have nice selection of proper ales and IPAs - far nicer than the more popular fizzy cr@p that people get served.
Bohemian Pilseners were the first pale lagers, which is the beer style 95% of all beer is nowadays, probably a reference to that.Quote:

Pint of bitter for Wales, a baltic porter for Poland, some sahti for Finland (although that might get dangerous). And don't get me started on Germany!
They dont have beer in USA, they have some water called "budweiser".....

In Finland it´s only Olvi Tupplapukki 8,5% ...

Still I plan to bring a lot of beer stuff from Ypres... as usually :)
Just like in many other countries the most common stuff isn't of high quality but they have a lot of way better beers in USA than the water...Quote:

There is really a massive difference between Pilsner Urquel from steel tank and from can (bottle is better than can but worse than from keg and the way best is from tank).
By the way is this Czech speciality or are restaurants anywhere else also using large steel tanks for beer instead of kegs? I don't say it's everywhere but at least pretty common among Pilsner Urquel restaurants in CZ.
Vodka.
Applies for most beer I thinkQuote:

Czech beer is still my preferred lager though. Czech beer in Czech Republic is so cheap it is ridiculous. The cost of living is less than half of that in sweden, and comparable beer is 7 times cheaper... And you get a bigger glass too.
Worst beer in the world is Sofiero, closely followed by Heineken.
