I'm a bit of a beer snob, so I figured I'd make a post for all the board members to post some info about some of the finest beers from their respective nations.

The most known beer from Italy is called BIRRA MORETTI, famous for the guy with the moustaches drinking a big beer...



Maybe the finest is the one called MENABREA



that is property of the group FORST which produces a good dark beer called Sixtus



Other smaller italian brands are Dreher, Poretti, Peroni... don't like them a lot.

Unfortunately in the past months me & my gf and friends were taken in the depth of discount beers. Some, coming from Germany are quite fine... and so damn cheap. Usually we buy boxes of 24 or more cans by 50 cl...

Menabrea looks tasty.
One fine pale ale is Hoegaarden

The best beers in the world comes from my region Pictavia, obviously hehe! All beers are crafted, don't know if the word is correct in English, to say it's not industrialized at all but hand-made respecting ancestral traditions.
I am addicted to the "Brasserie de Bellefois", they make beers on the theme of Pictavian wars, for example my fave one is the "732" (when Charles Martel stopped the muslim invasion here hehe, the place of this battle is 10 mn far from my house). A page about these beers : http://www.guide-biere.fr/voyager/bellefois.html
Some white ("Blanche") beers are made on a small and beautiful island called Ré : http://www.bieresdere.fr/
On another island (Oléron), they make many different tastes, mixing the beer with natural products. "La bière des naufrageurs" : http://www.bernezac.com/Oleron_Naufrageurs.htm
Another brewery invented the beer mixed with Cognac, another glorious beverage created in my region a long time ago! The beer is made in Bercloux and is called "La Bercloise" : http://www.bercloise.com/
A brewery created some beers also inspired by ancient stories from here, like "Mélusine", a fairy that was a normal woman during the day and then turned into a creature half-woman half-serpent, with wings, during the night. One of the most famous legend here. Also in this part of Pictavia we have the castle of Gilles de Rais, also called "Barbe Bleue" as there has been so many legends about him. And they made a beer dedicated to this myth. The site : http://www.vendee-tourisme.com/a-suivre/Melusine-la-biere-qui-vient-de.html
Sorry, all sites are in French, but there are some pictures!

Hoegaarden became totally industrialized and truly tastes like piss compared to the crafted one we have in Pictavia! Though if you offer some to me, I won't say no of course hehehe...

Of course....ahah

I'm all up for your beers! Sounds like connoisseurs taste.
Charles Martel stopping a Muslim invasion is pure christian propaganda though. It was more like a little party of riders, to raid some abbaye.

America doesn't have any good beer really...at least nothing brewed here and full of goodness. However, these are my top beers.

1. La Fin du Monde
2. Chimay
3. Hobgoblin
4. Stella Artois
5. Skull splitter

All fine bevereages in their own right.

If you somewhere see this



dont drink it...

Beer from Montenegro? No good beer in your country?
Orias, you mentioned "La fin du monde"! It comes from Québec, and the same brewery also do "La Maudite", "L'eau bénite", etc... Among the best beers in the world for sure!!! Pretty much in the Belgian tradition, made with ingredients from Québec. Awesome!
English article about UNIBROUE, best brewery ever in North America : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unibroue

Chimay, Leffe. Belgium's only jewels, along with comics hehe.

yeah, Duvel the drink of demons...

I just found this website... all (or almost) about European Beers - EUROPEAN BEER GUIDES

http://www.xs4all.nl/~patto1ro/index.htm

Don't drink Hansa.
Bergen's ale is unworthy of such a title. Piss is a more adequate term.
Ugh...

everyone who said they like duvel should try out Kwak and karmeliet trippel
as all three beers possess the same alcohol levels but
duvel--> kwak ---> karmeliet

get smoother/softer and easier to drink in that order

Too fucked up for me
I'm a fag, I'll go se Taake in november hehe.

Seriously, Corona is not that bad at all.
