Bollox. I live in Ireland most of the major beers here are as just as
piss as the American ones. Irish beer drinkers are the most clueless in
Europe. I have tasted some US microbrews like Seneca that blow anything
we have here in Ireland out of the water.
Irish beer is mostly piss because we have a neo-marxist pub culture were
stupid motherfuckers think that Ritz is a high-class product.
The people with the most discriminating taste in Ireland are the winos
and tramps. Rubbing Alcohol and Menthlyeted Spirits are better quality
beverages than either Smithwicks and Harp.
I stopped drinking Stout cos if makes my shite turn black.

I agree with this. Guinness is the only "proper beer" show in town here
really. Aside from that more seasoned drinkers have Smithwicks or Bass
(I like Saltzenbrau too) which are fuller than the watery crap stuff -
Carling, Tennants, Miller, Bud etc. I have to admit that the watery crap
often has it's applications though.
Americans seem to have a fairly strongly developed beering tradition. In
Olympia there was a massive Olympia brewing company, and a smaller
brewery (Fishtale) which sold lovely stuff, in about 6 different forms.
In a restaurant in Seattle there was a separate menu for the beer that
you could have with your meal. I counted 14 different types coming from
their own brewery - all different flavours and strengths.
>I stopped drinking Stout cos if makes my shite turn black.
Yes, the bitumen effect the following morning is a bit of a downside.
But it's worth it just for that feeling you get when you finally let it
go.

bought bottles, a beer hydrometer, a capper and caps, hops flavored malt
syrup, a very good beer yeast, five pounds of sugar, and dipped up five
gallons of spring water. We mixed up the sugar, water, malt, and yeast. Set
the stone crock in a dark corner of our basement, covering it with cheese
cloth. In about a day the wort began to work. In about five days, the sugar
content had dropped to about (I think) 1.5 or 2%. We baked the bottles,
cooled them, bottled and capped the stuff. We let the bottles sit a week
until the lees settled to the bottom. Then two quarts went into the ice box
for a day. At last, the night had come. We popped the caps, poured out a
glass of fine brown beer and began to sip away. Before we knew it we were
both drunk as lords. When we woke up the next morning, Mom had dumped the
beer and all the equipment at an undisclosed location. No more beer was made
at the Caine house.

twice (suspecting that it had been mis-handled the first time), and I threw away
most of it both times.
Olympia is an unfortunate brewery to cite as an example of good American
brewing. We used to say that the first step in making Olympia was to pass it
through a horse. It's _really_ watery.
Fishtale, on the other hand, is an excellent example of American brewing. I
hadn't tried it until recently; I had a bottle of their Mud Shark porter, and
thought it was great.
Local microbreweries are proliferating in the Northwest. If you're in Portland
(or can find their beers outside Portland, which is not real likely), try
Widmer's (especially their Blackbier) and Bridgeport. Full Sail (from the town
of Hood River, just up the Columbia river) is also excellent. A beer you can
only find in-town, and only at the pub, is McMenamin's Terminator stout, which
is my favorite among all the microbrews.

A men's beers are the Trappistes from Belgium and especially those with
double or triple alcoholic fermentation.
- Westmalle Trappiste Trippel
- Trappistes Rochefort
- Delerium Tremens
- Chimay Peres Trappistes 7% (Brown)
- Chimay Peres Trappistes 9% (Blue)

Try the Dutch Alfa from Limburg or most German beers brewed by the
Rheinheids Gebot.

Have a holiday in Belgium and visit a random pub. Try every strange
looking beer on the card and a you'll discover a new beer heaven. With
any luck Dr. Fustigator can give you some advice of what to taste and
where to taste it.

Hmm. even Grolsch and Heiniken do that kind of stuff.
Grolsch has regular Pilsner, a parnership with Gulpener for the "Giants
series" a beer for every Season, a beer for the "New Year" and various
one-offs.

stolen all my husbands beer making schtuff...to brew up a porter, for

Delirium tremens , Leffe and Duvel are not exactly "trappist beers"
but they are excellent too!
In Belgium we have as trappist beer:
1. Westmalle,
2. West-Vleteren (Sixtus beer)
which are flemish.
The walloon trappists are
3. Rochefort,
4. Orval,
5. Chimay.
An that's <all>.
But in each of those 5 names you have several sorts of trappist beers.
See http://www.beerritz.co.uk/br_trap.htm for details about those
beers.
In Holland and Germany you might find one or two trappist beers.

"RheinheidsGebot" gives no indication about <quality> of beer (taste)
just gives that there are no other additives in the beer except thze
list which is legally permitted in Germany.

In all drinking places in Belgium you will have a broad assortiment of
beers. In the big cities it will be average better, but some times
even in remote places you are entering the paradise's lobby....
In case Europe is too far, the "Belgian House" in Delhi (Ontario,
Canada, not far from the Niagara falls, south west from Hamilton)
already could serve you quite a few brands. You can't miss it , since
it is along the main road who crosses the village of Delhi.

Infinite is the variety in belgian beers.

On this subject, can anyone tell me what is the point of Guinness
Original in cans? It just doesn't work and I don't think I've ever
seen anyone (else) drink it. And the cans are smaller than the
Draught ones. It makes no sense. I drank six cans last night and it
made even less sense.
