Some people call it a Chocolate Truffle, some a Chocolate Covered Raspberry. I call it heaven.

My favorite beers:

Alaskan Amber
Belgian Trippel-style Ale (from any pretty much any brewery)
Guinness
Fat Tire
Newcastle
Mac & Jack's African Amber

I could go on and on.....

Actually San Miguel is from the Philippines

[/ QUOTE ]

Not This one. But you're right, there is a San Miguel Brewery in the Phillippines too. Never seen any beers from them in Europe though. You're in the US, right?

My answer, though, is Belgium AND England. The best beer drink is half a glass of Lindeman's Framboise Lambic with Young's Double Chocolate Stout poured on top of it. Some people call it a Chocolate Truffle, some a Chocolate Covered Raspberry. I call it heaven.

It's kind of hard to compare beers in the US to beers in England, Germany, Belgium, etc. You'd really have to compare the US to Europe. England has the bitters & stouts, Germany has the lagers, Belgium has the trappists, etc. Here in the US we make 'em all. And for an excellent Belgium style grand cru, go hunt down a bottle of Avery Brewing Beast. Be warned, at 18+%/vol it's not to be trifled with.

What would make the list, Tennants?

For me it is LaTrappe Quad, they don't make it any more, I think the LaTrappe monastery sold their brand to a larger brewery a few yeras ago, but this was phenomenal.

Five years ago I'd have said Canada's Micro-brewed beer beats just about anything in the States, but now it's pretty close, since a lot of the large brewing companies bought the micro-brews up here. Major brand to major brand though, I put Canada -slightly- ahead of the US. Most UK beers destroy all of N.A. though. The best beer I've ever had would have to be John Smith's Extra Smooth...from Newcastle, I believe.

Anyone who answered anything other than Belgium doesn't know Belgian beers.

Judging from the poll results, lots of people fit the above description. Their loss, because Belgian's the answer and it's not close.

Been to Europe, answer (of course it varies on personal taste) is Germany, end of debate. As a bonus it's inbetween 15-20% alcohol, that'll get you blitzed. Prima!

Pilsner Urquell is THE most overrated beer there is

[/ QUOTE ]

Very true, but stella artois is arguably equally underrated, at least given what I understand is the consensus concerning the rating of mass produced beers. And it is nowhere near the best belgian beer.

Your failure to even mention Belgium is the silliest thing about your post.

i HATE stella. i would vote for germany or belgium.

Lets be honest, all the major beers in CA taste an awful lot like all the popular beers in the U.S.


None of them are really anything to write home about, but none really suck either. Their all average tasting, which is why they appeal to so many people.
