I tried a few strange beers although they may not be available in Sweden. 'Mango Beer' brewed from magoes , was good but one was enough i didn't think like i would drink 5 pints of it. 'Beez Neez' Beer with honey aftertaste. | ||

I think I've developed allergies to the most popular yeasts used in Trappist ales over the past few years, though, so I've had to severely reduce my consumption of such, including the ever-popular Chimay, which used to be a camping staple for me. On topic, I picked up a six pack of Lagunitas Little Sumpin' Sumpin' tonight. Despite its precious name, it's a floral, well-made IPA that I'd not seen in SoCal prior to this past week. Not quite on par with Pliny the Elder, but what is? For American college-age students or those with little to no experience with serious beer, I'd recommend starting with non-terrible mainstream ales and lagers like Sam Adams or Yuengling and then gradually expanding from there into middle-of-the-road porters and pale ales before going into ambitious stuff like imperial stouts and barley wines. Don't be too ambitious at first, but allow your tastes to develop over time--you don't have anyone to impress but yourself. | ||

I feel for you people on the wrong side of the atlantic! Not only is your own beer (the mass produce... there's good microbreweries) crap, but the good beer is stupidly overpriced. In Spain you won't pay more than 2 euros per bottle in the shop. In Belgium... well, about 1. If you go to a bar you'll probably pay 4 euros for a bottle of Belgian beer (and in Belgium 2,50-3 euros). In my opinion: best lager is Pilsner Urquell and best beer in general depends alot on the mood I'm in, but Weihenstephaner (http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/252/731) is good for a hot summer day, while Kasteel Tripel is probably my favourite stronger beer (http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/212/44892). Another nice beer for general occasions is La Chouffe (http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/321/1836). | ||

And Weihenstephaner Augustine Tap 6; I recommend this for anyone who lives in sweden, go to systembolaget and buy yourself a Weistephaner Augustine and just try it. Quite cheap per alcohol/volume and great fucking taste... best buy beer I know and I've tasted over 300 beers and counting (they know my name at belgobar and monk's cafe which are the big beer pubs in stockholm. Been a beer fantast since 18 year age) Strangely I can't find a single picture of the beer in question, not even on their site... Either than that I recommend weihenstephaner as a best buy, price AND taste, out there. Yeah there are more tasting and better beers such as the Prestige lines of beers but they cost an metric anus ton of money. Chimey Blue is also a great beer, in that regard any Trappist beer is fucking great (except Orval, it tastes like sour ass) ALSO: Anyone who recommends Heiniken/Pripps Blue/Falcon/all those shitty lager beers; Yeah they're good for getting drunk and partying but seriously treat yourself to some awesome beer and go out and taste shit... if you've seriously tasted 50+ beers and still think heiniken is good then I'll be damned but I haven't met anyone who does. There's great lagers out there aswell. | ||

I guess it is because of different water? and the imported ones are soo expansive in canada :/ Some other good locals: ![[image loading]](http://www.bierclub.net/bilder_bier/922_2005-08-04_Haake-Beck_Pils.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://s3.amazonaws.com/files.posterous.com/ss70/zo4M3Gne91eBpV043RyWjPvvKn6gJ8MzcmETGSy5apAgGqro6UdwNsyIZGzU/hemelinger3_large.jpg.scaled.1000.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAJFZAE65UYRT34AOQ&Expires=1305556977&Signature=7LCWSPg0cEy6mUZeARJhsqqgWE8%3D) and one of my favorites. it's house brewed in just one location in bremen's center ![[image loading]](http://www.arcor.de/iimages/76/art_440x330_XVWLYq6raIjAqlaDimGq8maFldOK.jpg) | ||
