Amstel
One of my favourite memories of Greece was drinking a cold Amstel. It seems here in the states they only sell the light rubbish. has anyone managed to buy the kosher Amstel here. i was just in wal-mart and the heineken is 50c more than becks absolutely incredible how an ordinary lager in britain is sold in the states as premium.

Re: Amstel
Ah yes, but when you've been drinking Bud/Coors/Miller for a while, even Heineken takes on almost mythical status in the beer world :P

Re: Amstel
I can get the real Amstel over here in Northern California. I seem to be able to get pretty much any beer I want at the local store (Nugget). Got all the favourites...Peroni, Stella, Amstel....

Re: Amstel
I spent about 10 months in the Netherlands and the regular Amstel on an almost daily basis. And Albert Heijns wouldgive you your deposit back on the bottle.
Haven't found the reular Amstel anywhere on the east coat. Bastards.

Re: Amstel
Most grocery stores sell it round here, as well as the light stuff.
