Default Gerolsteiner or Amstel? Which is the better beer?

Hey,

My personal favorite is Old Style. But IF I was to buy one, which
should it be? Gerolsteiner or Amstel

Thanks,
Ronde Chumpion

Warsteiner is beer, Gerolsteiner is mineral water.

Yes, but as beers go, Amstel isn't all that far away from mineral water.

Hey, it's just regular pilsner. I like Grolsch better but Amstel is OK.
BTW, "Amstel Gold" is a different beer, 7%.

Go for the "regular" Amstel when you're in Europe; it's not imported to
North America!!
One of the finest in the world.

That's funny. In seeing (and appreciating) this race for a quarter of a
century, I never became aware of this.
As so often the press speaks of "the Gold Race" I thought it was just a
pathetic name for a fine race.

Gerolsteiner. I don't think you're ready for the strong stuff
like Amstel Light[*] just yet. Also, you seem a little dehydrated,
what with the hallucinations about Gord and Mario and all.

[*] the only Amstel we get regularly in the states

-Ben
Does anyone know where I can get Genny Cream in California?
Or Natty Bo?

I've actually tried Warsteiner, found it at one of the local liquor outlets.
Great beer! However, haven't found Gerolsteiner water.

Well then, I guess Gerolsteiner loses.

BTW, I have seen it in the US recently and I did not know they were that
widely distributed.
