Palma Louca - Braz-ill

Palma Louca - Brazil-

Spending more time then I wanted to in the far east, I decided to try coming back to this side of the planet since Famosa was pretty decent. Before I write a review, I read up on the country it was brewed in and the Company that brewed it so I can throw a few interesting tidbits in and have a feeling like I know what the fuck I'm talking about. I had to put the wiki into Google translate, which is always a good sign. 

I used to work at a Burger King when I was in high school and there was a few people who worked there who came from Brazil to come see what the States was like. They got set up with the job and the location to live, which was in a trailer park by the way. Whoever decided they should come to Buffalo and work at a Thru-way Burger King to really get a grasp on American life was either spot fucking on or has an awesome sense of humor. 

Anyways, they told me Brazil was beautiful, but to look out for girls who claimed to be girls, but would later turn out to be dudes. Not sure if thats really a thing but this beer is as about as close to Brazil as I'm going to get, so thanks guys. 

Palma Louca is brewed by Cervejaria Kaise. I think I spelled that right. Coca-Cola owns 10 percent of them, which makes me respect Coke alittle more. From there, it gets alittle crazy. Molson Canadian had a brewery in Brazil, which is fucking nuts by the way, and Cervejaria Kaise bought them for 765 million dollars US. They had a little help in Heineken which threw in 220 mil for a stake in the company. 

Brazil is a really beautiful country, through pictures, since Ive never been there. Its the worlds 5th largest country, by both land area and population. No telling how many of them are trying to trap you into a sexual encounter though.

Its kinda weird that being the number five biggest country on the planet, the only time you hear of Brazil is when a soccer game is on TV. 

The beer itself is 4.5 percent alc. and is a pale pilsner. Its not a beer thats going to make you cringe when you drink it, and could easily be mistaken for any American or Canadian beer. You could drink some of this beer, and have your girl drink the other half, because you probably split beers with your girlfriend you pussy. 

The Verdict

5.5 out of 10

Not too bad, but not too good. Its not a beer I would go out to buy, but something I could drink alot of if it was the only choice at a party. Its not unlike beer most people already drink just the the hell of it, slightly sweet, bland and inoffensive.

Mythos - The god of skunk

Mythos - Greece

Sorry there was no update last week. I was on my honeymoon in Florida at Disney world with my beautiful wife. I planed on doing a beers around the world update as they had the wine and food festival going on in EPCOT. The 8 dollar beers made me not do it. Seriously. 8 bucks for the cheapest.  Fuck that.

Greece is known for their great history of the gods and awesome ruins that are still visible. Its cool to think about it, but ruins are what im tasting right now.

With the history of the region, you would think they would cash in on it. Im not sure if its a good idea they didnt because thats what you would expect, or its just a shitty idea. The Unicorn is proudly printed on the label. When I think of Greece, I dont think of unicorns. Unicorns are creatures I would love to find and see. This beer is something I found and wish I didnt. Im pissed because there was a few other beers I looked at but didnt buy. This shit tastes skunky. I hope its not just the beer tasting that way, but just that it sat on the shelf that long.

I thought about what I just typed and decided to look. Its totally expired.

In light of recent events, there will not be a verdict this week. Its not fair. This really sucks because I thought up some pretty good material to make fun of this beer.

 FOR SHAME. 

When your in the business of selling imported beer from all over the world, you would think you would take into account the fact that some people are not going to buy a beer from Greece or other countries other than the USA. Most people walk into that place to buy Bud or Coors.  Im probably the only guy to buy this beer in the last 6 months. I paid full price for it too.

 Pissed.

Should I check the expiration on the other beers I drank that I gave shitty reviews to? Nah. That requires too much work. Instead, heres a few facts about the brewery.

- Its the second largest brewer in Greece

- Carlsberg owns it. Mythos imports Guinness for the region

- 4.7 percent alc by vol

- Lager beer

Unreal. Ill be more careful next time. Grow with me, im still learning. 

By the way......Im still looking for people to submit pictures of their parties and passed out or really drunk attendees for me to poke a small amount of fun at. Please click the "contact us" part of the page and send those pictures on in. Keep in mind your buddies will be on the front page here and are open to me saying whatever I like about them. Make sure thats ok.

 See you next time.
