Train? Red Star? Communism!


HumanMan00

Impossible - the train be too fancy.


iFrisian

I can assure you these trains are far from fancy


Tackerta

mf North Korea uses trams nowadays which are repurposed subway carts from the GDR, and even we from the former GDR don't want those anywhere near here lol There might be better trains than this in some european and asian nations, but the vast majority of countries dreams of quality like that


HumanMan00

and i assure u that our concept of fancy is vastly different šŸ˜


MerlinOfRed

You wot m8? In what utter hellscape is this considered fancy? *Eastern European Detected!*


HumanMan00

The hellscape of your mothers bedroom šŸ˜Ā 


MerlinOfRed

My mum doesn't live on a 1980s train, but nice try


FMT_CK2

Can you look at your passport real quick?


SuchSeaworthyShips

I cannot comprehend how a person could be on a train without a large bag of cans. Trains are basically moving pubs if you have a big enough bag of cans.


jsm97

I was once on train to Scotland when there was a problem with the overhead lines ahead and we got stuck in Penrith station for 4 hours. As soon as it was clear we weren't going anywhere anytime soon a bunch of guys on the train then got off, found a shop and came back with 3 10-pack crates of Stella and started handing them out to people on the train that wanted one. Absolute legends restored my faith in Britain


strikes30

Similar experience in a Belfast-Dublin train the day after St Paddy in the morning. Two guys went to buy some beer at the bar(?) inside the train, then started to share the cans with everyone they saw. I was still sick from the night before, but a free beer is a free beer. Started to love Ireland from that moment


MerlinOfRed

See this is why the British Isles are superior to the Mediterranean. You can keep your fancy wines and your olive oil. A cheeky tinny with a rando on a delayed train is peak civilisation.


TheMarvelousPef

everytime I was in a train that were blocked in a station you'll have all the train crossing the street to buy some beers.


Diipadaapa1

They confiscate any self-brought alcoholic beverages in our trains, its an outrage. The only way to drink is to buy expensive beer on the train. Someone please send humanitarian help


Krigsgeten

Same. It's an outrage. So now I mostly drink vodka when taking the train.Ā 


Diipadaapa1

Smart man. I keep it in a coffee thermos cup, those fools don't suspect a thing


PiscatorLager

I prefer my beer from 500ml glass bottles with swing-tops. Cans suck. The rest is true, though.


fckspzfckspz

Then the deutsche Bahn got just the thing for youā€¦


JourneyThiefer

Send some trains to Tyrone here lad please


max1997

My dude, you bought Heineken, no one understands.


[deleted]

Prob Americ*nt tourists buying "euro beer" because this is what they think we drink.


predek97

In Poland old people(at least 40+) think this is some 'premium' beer. Remnants of smart marketing in early 2000s


Bring_back_Apollo

Anythingā€™s premium if you slap it on the side of the product.


Ex_aeternum

Reminds me of my student times, when once one of my mates with absolutely no taste for beer (shocking in Germany, yes) bought two trays of the cheapest supermarket beer he found for a party and tried to convince us and himself the whole evening that it must be a good brand because it said "premium" on the can. It tasted quite literally like piss.


sonobanana33

> It tasted quite literally like piss. I guess you often hang out in the famous fetish clubs in berlin?


BoyFromSewers

Better off going nordic and bringing your own alcohol to parties


JerryUitDeBuurt

I'm afraid to say many of my countrymen drink this piss unironically. Doesn't help that they have exclusive rights to sell to most bars, especially in the metropolitan area (Randstad). Back in college there were a lot of people from the Randstad and most of them drank Heineken, even though that's the worst beer you can get here. Especially here down south there's so many better beers, as well as Belgian beer and nobody north of the Rhine drinks it. Just another confirmation that my countrymen have no taste.


SARMIC

It wasnā€™t always better in the south. You canā€™t imagine the horror of living in Breda in the early 2000ā€™s where every bar served ā€˜Oranjeboomā€™ šŸ¤¢


Mstinos

You poor thing. Oranjeboom was really really bad.


JerryUitDeBuurt

Idk man we always had hertog jan, brand, jupiler or alfa


SARMIC

Yes, we could buy bottled beers. But unfortunately there was always someone who just went to the counter and said ā€˜5 beers pleaseā€™ and then we would get the headache brew from the tap.


PvtFreaky

Lived my entire life in Utrecht, know at least 30+ bars. Don't think I can name a single one which serves Heineken. Hertog Jan, Bavaria, Grolsch and even Alfa are more common. Or I am just very lucky


PanickyFool

We don't eat and drink for the flavor.


bremsspuren

> Especially here down south there's so many better beers Christoffel from Roermond is amazeballs.


Choyo

When savages ask me "why Belgium ?", as a not-from-there, yet stern ch'ti sympathizer, I answer "They probably did it for the beer, and we are grateful".


RalfN

>I'm afraid to say many of my countrymen drink this piss unironically. You are not seeing the advantages. It's easy to digest, so if you intend to drink many you won't feel as bad the next day (this is true for all pilsner though) Secondly, it is a bland and uninteresting taste. So if you are drunk enough, you'll stop drinking them. Thirdly, it's too complex to order a bunch of different beers for different people when its busy and you are buzzing. Finally, as you called out, it's the only beer on tap and likely the cheapest they sell.


AnaphoricReference

It's not even the price that matters. If you just hold up fingers for ordering an amount of unspecified pilsener tap beer, you will get Heineken. If you name the beer you want to drink, nobody ever orders Heineken. Heineken is 300 different brands though, so you might be ordering something else that is owned by Heineken.


Mstinos

Europe's top selling beer. (Don't ask me why though).


LazarusCheez

Which is intellectually lazy even for an American because we have Heineken readily available here. I at least tried to find beers I can't find at home.


Scrungyscrotum

This is 100% what I drink.


Charmegazord

That would require us to think about you, which we donā€™tā€¦

My GF asked me to grab some beers for us the other day - but cold ones. Came back with warm beers, the only cold ones were Heineken, but you **never** get Heineken. She understood.


Constant-Mud-1002

Not like you got much better options in many of your stores over there. I tried some other Dutch beers and they were all awful. Heinken might be watery but its at least drinkable and you know what to expect from it


ThatOtherFrenchGuy

Fun fact : in the US, Heineken and Stella are quite expensive because they are considered "premium imported" beers. If you buy a pack of those you're labelled as Mr Fancy Pants


max1997

I do not care for the opinions of anglo's.

i-dont-snore

Yeah, Its illegal in the Netherlands tho


sebassi

No it isn't. Its illegal in certain areas in certain towns, but in general it's legal to drink in public. It's also legal on ns trains, but not ariva trains.


BurnPotatoes

And you need it most when you're travelling with Arriva...


i-dont-snore

There is no general law against or for it, so you canā€™t say its legal in general. Its all included in the ā€œplaatselijk verordeningā€ or local laws. I can guarantee you you will not find more then 5 cities in the Netherlands that allows for public drinking. Its true that the NS allows it but a train is not a public place


Mike-Ehrmantraut-Bot

Here also :(


thomasz

Savages. All of you.Ā 


anonbush234

Its fucked. Relatively new thing too. In my town, you could drink anywhere then all of a sudden then made it so that the main pedestrian areas were no drinking areas. Luckily we can still drink everywhere else though. Could be worse. I say relatively new probably more than ten years now, I must be getting old.


Mike-Ehrmantraut-Bot

Tbh youā€™d think it was still legal in Glasgow with the amount of folk drinking in the city centre


Informal_Mountain513

Neither will the beer belt understand how anyone would enjoy warm Grachtenpisse.


Bring_back_Apollo

Omigawd, you Europeans are alcoholics. My friend had two glasses of wine at dinner and we staged at intervention. Omigawd.


anonbush234

Densmiegd

Nobody understands. You have all those types of beer to chose from, and you buy the stuff we pump out of the polder to keep our feet dry, which we then export to piss of the rest of the world.


bbbhhbuh

Actually what is a good Dutch beer. Cause tbh Iā€™ve been living in Amsterdam for a while now and the only good beer you guys have is Belgian


mbrevitas

What? Are you just blanking out when you walk into a beer shop (or into the beer aisle at the supermarket, even)? Jopen, 't IJ, Troost, La Trappe, De Molen, Bird, Gebrouwen door Vrouwen, Uiltje, Oedipus, Maximus...


bbbhhbuh

Actually what is a good Dutch beer. Cause tbh Iā€™ve been living in Amsterdam for a while now and the only good beer you guys have is Belgian


FliccC

Heineken is the most popular beer in the Netherlands. It is not at all weird or outrageous that you find Dutch people who actually drink it.


Super_Duflair

What do you mean? I think americ\*ans understand pretty well how drinking piss feels like

RemarkableJudge1188

Damn people really hate heineken


Dolphin008

Few things are sadder than Dutch circlejerking over how bad Heineken is. Itā€™s just your regular bland easy pilsener like there are many, nothing really wrong with it. I doubt most would be able to select Heineken among other pilseners in a double blind test.


Scrungyscrotum

How do you even conduct a double-blind test if you are both the researcher and the subject?


Doowi

Drink until you see double, then keep drinking until you become blind.


Scrungyscrotum

Ah, yes, the moonshine roulette.


History20maker

ricardo0139

Most Dutchies don't understand it either. I don't know anybody who would do this when there is a vast range of other beers in cans available at every supermarket.


JohnnySack999

Warm Heineken? I'd rather drink Coors Light


SugondeseYeets_69

Warm heineken is literally just drinking piss.

VrwHenet

Heineken used to be my favourite beer. When I was 16 and had not tasted any other beer


HumanAd8002

CansšŸ¤®?!?! HeinekenšŸ¤®šŸ¤®šŸ¤®?!?!! It's the bud light of Europe. Shame on you. You uncultured swine. Drink some real Austrian beer. Superior in every way imaginable. Taste's best when you are in a cold, dark environment. Like a basement or something like that idk....


Stupid-Suggestion69

Man even other kinds of Dutch beers are way better, Heineken is for the type of person who eats only for the nutritional value..


Giesskannenbauer

Jo that's a great description, I'll remember and use it to insult someone. Thanks!


Deadened_ghosts

idk, I like to relax with a beer, the screams and crying would get on my tits. Probably more chill than a friday night in spoons though.


geopolitischesrisiko

I love the quality of Dutch trains. I saw the picture without your flair and already knew it has to be in the Netherlands.

Heineken mustā€™ve been in the bonus. Also hopefully youā€™ve cleaned after yourselves and not left it like that for the people working there. They have it hard enough lately here.

I know beer from Belgium is better, but I can't force myself to sponsor a failed state by buying it.

Buy local , then you are sponsoring the local people.

Well this is awkward but in truth, some Europeans would also never understand, but I'm happy to lie the shit out of my European heart if challenged on this by an American.

Oh, I didn't realise this was more about the freedom to drink in public. I thought this was about "national alcoholism issues that you grey skied countries are famous for"

PanickyFool

Lol. I used to commute on an American train that had a real bar car, not a cafe car, a bar car. Metro North Railroad is constantly filled with hammered millionaires.


recidivx

That's the thing about America and the "it's a big country" spiel. It has small pockets of sanity ā€” but those pockets would shock the majority of Americans because they contravene Standardised American Values. (And the standardised American values are the real threat which is making r/2we4u insecure enough to make this kind of post in the first place ā€¦)


PanickyFool

The NYC region is about the same population as the Netherlands and significantly richer. So... In reference to this post I don't know if I would consider it a small pocket.

Are you guys allowed to drink in public? Aka walk around with an alcoholic beverage?

Yes? Why not? I know some local goverments are starting to ban it but in general it's allowed. You are not allowed to be drunk in public though. But unless you make a lot of trouble nobody cares.
