Krionenbourg 1664
Why is it called 1664? It is mentioned in the label and also in German towards the bottom of the can.

I'm guessing they started the brewery in 1664.
Oh here you go http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kronenbourg Edit as for the violence, we stopped drinking it for a while many years ago, as we (as a group) kept getting into fights. Random people just wanted to have rucks with us for some reason. |

Stella Artois is the wife beaters juice of choice in Brighton. Most pubs don't sell it any more.

Hurlimans was famous for it when I was younger.
People called it hooligan. |

I've heard that Stella Artois is known as "wife beater" by Accident and Emergency doctors and nurses, but have pubs actually stopped selling it in your area? ![]() Back on topic - 1664 is the year that the brewery was founded .

People called it hooligan. Then again, I don't frequent pubs much anymore. Yup Hurlimans, had the same rep in South London too, as fightin juice. That Stella/wife beater thing completely bypassed me until it was mentioned in a TV program, never had that reputation when I had a career as a semi pro drinker. |

Oh I used to like pint of Kronig drink it down to a half, top it up with a Pernod and Black and half a cider.
6 or so pints of that and your legs go to sleep and leave the brain intact. 'do you mind helping me walk, my legs seem to be puddled' That used to be called a pint of weak plasma here ![]() A shooter called "Tuaca" is the "stop your legs from staying upright" shot of choice these days. |

Talking of looney juice
wasn't there a draught one that was banned a few years ago, Lamot?What's the Canadian one very similar name to that. On a serious note, what is about some beers that make people more prone to violence? I'm not so sure it's the beer itself to be honest. |

I don't know any that still do. Kronenbourg Blanc seems to have replaced it almost everywhere.
Don't think anyone in my town still sells it either :/ well Spoons / a few old people's pubs might - but most stick to Fosters / Becks / Stella / Strongbow.

I don't understand the violence thing with Kronenbourg and Stella. They're 2 of my fave beers and they've never made me particularly angry lol
Kronenbourg Blanc is disgusting though... the taste I suppose might piss me off |

Kronnie is definately my fave lager
![]() Not sure why a particular brand of beer/alcohol makes someone react differently though (though one friend goes nuts on whisky and another one when he has reef )

I don't recall from my times in Belgium and France mass reports of violence due to imbibing the lager.
But that may be down to the culture where they don't feel it necessary to down four hundred pints in an evening to have fun. I only once splurged on alcohol in Brussels and that was 9 glasses of Pauwel Kwak (8.5% ), and I didn't feel the urge to mouth off to random strangers and pee up the wall...When the drinkers of today in this country realise that you don't have to drink excessively to enjoy yourself then it will start to change, but with all the deals and stuff and peer pressure, I doubt that. |

As others have said, some of the lads in my pub would get a bit narky after a few pints of Kronie, some after Stella. No-one got angry with Fosters or Carling though, so maybe the strength of them they couldn't handle??
My mate would drink K bottled cider when that was out, @ 1993, and she only needed 2 bottles of it to be off her tits! Think it was about 9% abv, and a 'trndy' cider that stuck around for prob a year - maybe less, as I never knew anyone else that drunk it, or had heard of it, apart from her. |

The pub soon cottoned on and stopped serving those type of 'snakebites'...... |
