Had my growler topped off with a Massive IPA from the Great South Bay Brewery. If you're ever in Bayshore on Long Island, I'd advise checking the place out...

Ha^ What movie is that from? I can't stand Heineken, it's like it's skunked on purpose. I'll take a PBR over any skunked beer.

+1 Never understood the popularity that surrounds Heineken! Almost like a status symbol - I prefer PBR as a status symbol!

If you've ever had a "real" Heineken (i.e. in Holland, fresh from the Brewery instead of the stuff that is available in the US) it's actually quite a flavorful mass produced beer. Other than that it's got the green bottle of it's own unique shape going for it!

Plus it got a big bump in pop culture popularity just as the craft/micro brew phenomena was getting started via U2's One video

+100 I. Knew someone from Norway he said same thing. He said no law on alcohol percent like here he never drink it in the states though.

I was told the Heineken imported here contains formaldehyde as a preservative. Don't know if it's true or urban legend but seems like a good enough reason not to drink something I don't particularly care for anyway. :)

Curious about the alcohol percent issue. Is it a labeling requirement? Strong beers in the US are usually labeled as such.
