Which country makes the best beer?

[undeterred]

:beer:

[Rabrrrrrr]

1. Pretty much they all make great beer

Apart from the mass-produced shit that almost all countries make, they all have smaller breweries that make amazing beers. I've been disappointed by individual beers (I still don't understand the popularity of Bass Ale), but never by a country itself.

2. Ireland, of course. I love Guiness Stout.

In fact, I traveled to Dublin just so that I could sit in an Irish pub and drink Guiness on tap.

[undeterred]

3. I thought Guiness was the worst thing I've ever tasted

A guess a lot of people like it though. :shrug:

[terrya]

13. That's my choice. Ireland.

Harp's is a pretty decent beer, also.

[Katina]

18. did you go on the tour

and have the stout at the top of the brewery...talk about fresh stout...even I liked it and I normally hate stout!

[SiobhanClancy]

28. Ireland,for sure !!!

5. I think Germany probably makes more quality beers...

...than any other country, particularly pilseners.

9. I once heard this uttered abroad:

"The Germans make the finest beers in the world. And they learned everything about it from the Czechs." :toast:

[deucemagnet]

10. I agree wholeheartedly,

particularly because my favorite type of German beer originated in Pilsen, Czechoslovakia.

[Kellanved]

16. Yup

And the Czech learned it from the Germans - it's a round trip. :toast:

17. BAL family has just yesterday returned from a tour of Berlin, Dresden, and

Prague--and I will absolutely agree 100% with the above statement.

The beer--and the food--in Berlin, Dresden, and Glashuitte it were excellent.

The beer and food in Prague was SUPERB and then some.

[MissHoneychurch]

19. How did you like Prague

beside the beer and the food? :)

[blondeatlast]

22. Wow, just wow. Beautiful city. I'll have pics to post tomorrow or

thereabouts!

[MissHoneychurch]

26. I am looking forward to them

you can check out my journal for pics from Prague. I was there in April and posted some in the Lounge. And also put them in my journal.

[Kellanved]

21. Whoa!

:hi:
that was a quick tip. I hope Berlin behaved enough to make you feel comfortable?

I hadn't realized that your trip was that soon, sorry about that :D

[blondeatlast]

24. Loved it! Yeah, when I posted before (re: passports) we were all

but out the door!

I'll post pics and details tomorrow or thereabouts here in the Lounge, watch for them!
