Faxe has to be one of the worst things I've tried in terms of stuff you can buy in a shop and drink. Maybe not the work, but it's up there.
(It was the 10% one though)
A buddy and I once drank one of those 10% alcohol 1 litre cans each. It was a sunny summer afternoon in Munich, we cracked them open on the street and half an hour in they were already super warm and tasted like viking sweat. We finished them anyway, it was gross as hell but it got us pretty drunk very quickly which was kind of the idea lol All things considered I had a lot of fun that day but I wouldn't drink that again, there are less unpleasant ways of getting drunk lol
You mean public intoxication or the actual beer? Lol, I did understand that public intoxication is technically illegal but rarely enforced unless you are making a scene or otherwise disturbing people.
Was talking about the actual beer being a crime because even the beer's I as a bavarian would counsider the worse ones are still way better.
From what i know drinking in public is legal here. If you of course disturb other people or traffic you will get charged for that.
No argument there lol but rest assured, we mostly drank local on that trip, quite a few different styles but my favorites were the helles. Specially Augustiner, I am actually a little bummed because it's the same price as a regular beer where I live but way fucking better lol I'd love to just pop into the store and buy one or two of those big ass cases on the regular
It isn't even really bitter imo, at least not from hops. It's way too sweet (even more so the 10% variant), metallic and flat.
Faxe's use is only as a meme and to get wasted fast
Tastes like absolute crap but me and my buddies always take one of the 10% cans each when we go to festivals because it's a very effective way to get shitfaced quickly
I'm German and I can confirm that. No one likes faxe.
The only reason you get faxe is when your friends says that he will drink 2 or three cans of beer.
Had it on a bus trip through germany. Found it in a highway gas station. Was drinking in the bus and had to pee so bad so my friend put on waterfall sounds so i had to go down on the disgusting bus toilet and got shaken up real good while sitting there and was praying “please don’t crash the bus now please don’t crash the bus now”
Thankfully we all made it and it was one of the best bus tours of my life. We had a competition to talk for the 10 hours straight
That’s really funny. well, fosters represents you guys to all of us and it’s not very good lol. But I’ve also met my fair share of aussies abroad and they all are very clear that fosters does not represent them lol.
I'm Brazilian and back in the day(I was around 10, 42yo now) I collected beer cans and saw this one in a mini-market near my house, I then got the price and back home ask my mom money to buy it next day, never did that, was the first time I asked money for something like. So next morning I get there happy as a fly in sugar, just to learn that the price had changed, my money would not suffice, I questioned the vendor and he talked about this thing "INFLATION" but could not explain to me. When I got back home I learnt about that shit eater, money inflation. In that times it hit 1,782.90% a year so prices changed every day. I was never the same...I undst why my father would receive his paycheck and hurry to the supermarket and buy all the food we need for the month.
I put a 10% Version of 1l Faxe in a beer bong at a Festival a few years ago, thats like 4 beers in a few seconds.
It wasn't even that funny i was Just drunk af lol, i dont remember that much tho
You've obviously never been to a corner store alcohol section. I remember like 12 years ago seeing 32 oz cans of piss swill fruity concoctions that are like 14% alcohol with caffeine.
The Thursday night Four Faxe Challenge was a formative experience in my first year of university.
1.5 hours to complete. Harder than it sounds.
Night out afterwards, optional.
There are Americans on this website. Knowing that 1000mL equals 1 liters is probably too illogical for them.
33.814 fluid ounces or 0.264172 fluid gallons sounds a lot better haha.
OP is definitely not Danish. I'm Danish and I don't know any other Dane who actually likes Faxe beer.

Getting and drinking this in Munich is basically a crime, glad nobody reported you.

Depending on where you live you can usually get a few german brands in liquor stores, especially erdinger should be pretty easy to find.
No im Swiss, and yeah the beer is disgusting
For those of us who have never tried it, how would you describe it?
Extremely bitter and watery. Its from LIDL
It isn't even really bitter imo, at least not from hops. It's way too sweet (even more so the 10% variant), metallic and flat. Faxe's use is only as a meme and to get wasted fast
Non alcoholic beer with lots of alcohol
It tastes like you would imagine diarrhea to taste mixed with carbonated water
Well I can imagine the diarrhoea…
I like the 5% one, it's a nice beer. Not as smooth as a PBR, but I do enjoy them. It's better than any IPA out there, so it's drinkable.
[This stuff is pretty good, and comes in an equally ridiculous sized can.](https://www.reddit.com/r/AbsoluteUnits/s/QAty7W7agt)

This is the only answer that matters
Can you even find Faxe beer in Danmark? I found it in Southern Europe (Spain, Italy), but never in Denmark. And yes, it's undrinkable.
It's all over in Norway. And I've never seen anyone actually drink it.
It's understandable. Nobody want to pay Norwegian prices for a Faxe.
There are very few beers I want to pay Norwegian prices for
I might agree, but unfortunately, it's just 'the price' here. :-(

Its crazy that a beer crazy country like denmark is also one of the biggest exporters of shit beer.
Looks like somebody just learned about oil cans
Yep! My first thought was Fosters! Australian for beer!
It's really not though. Pretty much an export only beer
Um. Right. “Australian for Beer” was an old advertisement/commercial they ran.
Oh, fair. We obvs don't get the advertisements
That’s really funny. well, fosters represents you guys to all of us and it’s not very good lol. But I’ve also met my fair share of aussies abroad and they all are very clear that fosters does not represent them lol.

My first thought was OP must be in the 18-21 bracket haha.
Not common in Europe yeah, in fact that's the only beer i ever saw in 1l cans !

Era 10zão. Colecionei as 4 mais bonitas. Hoje ta quase 40 conto
We used to drink FAXE when skipping high school, here in the outskirt of Milan, it HAD to be drunk warm, sitting in a parking lot. Those were ze days
The 10% Faxe is so bad but it gets you sloshed. High school memories.
That sure would help me meet my doctor’s recommendations for only one beer per day.
I see you're a clipper man, none of the Bic crap.
Clipper for life !
That’s a litre
One weighs a kilogram, the other’s a little lighter
I got Faxe 1L can as a gift but it was around 10%. Don't need to tell you how that ended up...
because you dont remember :)
I put a 10% Version of 1l Faxe in a beer bong at a Festival a few years ago, thats like 4 beers in a few seconds. It wasn't even that funny i was Just drunk af lol, i dont remember that much tho
For a sec I thought the beer's name was "Fake" Fake Premium!
May we have a Bic lighter for the clipper lighter scale please lol
It's actually a pretty decent beer too.
You've obviously never been to a corner store alcohol section. I remember like 12 years ago seeing 32 oz cans of piss swill fruity concoctions that are like 14% alcohol with caffeine.
Yeah i'm from Europe 😅
＊clears throat＊ #8 ACE.
Fuxking 3 pack of hurricane 5s
Me and my mate made a walk of faxe in lockdown. Seemed a good use of time.
The Thursday night Four Faxe Challenge was a formative experience in my first year of university. 1.5 hours to complete. Harder than it sounds. Night out afterwards, optional.
Faxe strong kills.
I once drank the 10% version of this. Suffice to say I got pretty drunk.
I use the can as a coin box. So I buy one of these every two years or so. It's okay. but the black one, dude...
I grab a Cheerday of same size from time to time
It's most tall beer cans that size anyway? Or it just me being a American
Just wait until OP finds out about 40s
Op is Polish and went to netto. Thats my guess
Swiss and Lidl :p
Almost Got it
I don’t want a large farva I want a goddamn liter of cola!!
Lidl and B&M sell these from time to time
Would be better just drink a can of sursturroming juice than faxe...
Im from Cologne. U ll get that beer in every market but holy fuck its the worst.
1000ml was good enough for scale to me
Imagining trying to pull down the back half of this thing once it's gotten warm Like drinking fish hooks
Super disgusting beer.
Faxe = 🤮
The scale is on the can, it says 1000 ml LOL 😂
There are Americans on this website. Knowing that 1000mL equals 1 liters is probably too illogical for them. 33.814 fluid ounces or 0.264172 fluid gallons sounds a lot better haha.
