Fibbers Or Bruxelles????

Doodee

fibbers smells like urine and all the ex fibbers heads (mature metalers) end up in bruxies.

tbh, if your up for a night of sweaty men and head banging than either is good.

It's a reasonably friendly place Most people get to know other people thru our doorman Alan, who tends to adopt waifs and strays, especially non-Irish ones! The music is mainly goth/ebm/alternative, so Bauhaus thru to VNV Nation, with only a little bit of metal (Rob Zombie, Within Temptation, that kind of thing). As it's free you can go there and Fibbers round the corner for the same price as Fibbers alone

yup or Bruxies (pronounced like its spelt)

Was in Fibbers on Thursday night and had a class night. The €5 in doesn't bother me really, it just depends on what/how much you drink that determines how worth while it is.

Havn't been in Bruxelles since it was done up though so I'll wait till I'm back in college to make my decision.

Ethnic variance. \o/

I was told over and over it was brux-elles so I changed to that.
To spice it up, I will randomly say either, even when typing it, but you won't know!

Cant be having that, Fosters is nothing but weak plish - in fact boo to all beers

Degsy

nah mate,fosters is at the stronger end ofthe pissy lager spectrum..i think its 5.2 % wheras most others are around 4.2% or summat like that.Trying to cut down anyway its making me too fat.

arbeitsscheuer

In that case, it's the calories that you should look at, not the alcohol content.

Fosters contains 42 calories. Compare that with Miller's 43, Heineken's 45, Guinness' 43, Corona's 45, Beck's 43, Budweiser's 40... And ya find that there ain't much difference really.

But Degsy's spot on, Fosters is 5.25% alcohol. Which does put it rather high in the lager spectrum, only really bettered by Heineken at 5.41%.

Sorry mate but normal heineken is nowhere near 5.41%,its 4.2% or near enough.heineken export is even weaker,limping in at just over 3%..not even fit for a woman!:D

arbeitsscheuer

Nah mate. Heineken is 5.4%. Everywhere I've found seems to back that up.

Devotion to quality for three generations
Heineken was created by a group of dedicated people pursuing the highest quality and craftsmanship in brewing. The Heineken the world drinks today is still brewed using the original, unrivalled recipe invented three generations ago by the Heineken family.

Sod me,i've been drinking the stuff for a decade and i'd no idea it was that strong.I wondered how i used to get so pisshed

arbeitsscheuer

To be honest, I'm just as surprised as you are. I never drink the stuff these days, but I'm glad I have a belated excuse for those times in the distant past when I used to get absolutely twatted on 'Heino'...

My calories ratio, I've discovered, was in fact disingenuous, as all those figures relate to calories-per-100ml... Which is sod-all, to be precise.

Anyway, just to get back on-topic... Fibbers ftw. Especially on Thursdays!

Degsy

Fibbers faith and begorrah!
Thusdays and saturdays and ya allways get a seat if your too posh to mosh!

A seat? In Fibbers on Thursdays? Since when?
