Lord Bless Charlie Mops.

He invented a wonderful drink, and he made it out of hops.

Heh. You can watch a video of a commercial on Youtube, but first have to watch an actual commercial before the video starts!

I like this one best among the Heinekens:

I used to enjoy that while throwing darts. Haven't seen it in a while, but then, I haven't played darts in years.

But they’re still talking about you, “Maths stepped up to the oche, cool as a prized marrow, even Hypotenuse would have trouble working out her angles, she had the consistency of a planet in a darts orbit- Maths reasoned…Maths quickened…Ahhhhhh Maths!”

Ok, maybe that was about some other darts players, but British commentary (in this case, Sid Waddell) is amazing!

The Paulaner Hefe-Weissbier Naturtrüb is just amazing!
My friend made me drink one of those and now that's the only one I really like. Too bad there's only a few bars that serve it.

Truth be told I really don't take to any beers by Miller, Schlitz or Pabst :D As far as WI beers go I can enjoy some by New Glarus, Point and Leinenkugels.
