Some of the local brews are good. I do like Porters and Stouts more than just about anything though, when they are made right. I've had enough micro brews, and "Specialty" beers to pretty much assume that Hoppy super Hop Hop taste is probably the easiest to do. It was good for a year or so, but got old quick. Every time I hear someone talk about a micro brew, I'm like... "wait, let me guess, it's all super hoppy and overflowing with hop crisp finish"... and they are like, "wow how did you know?" They ALL seem to be like that. So now, I really respect a beer with some class. Some subtlety and nice round flavor go a long way for me now. Yea you can pretty much find anything brewed in California that tastes great but it's really hard to find a solid local stout or porter. | ||

Especially Tuborg, Carlsberg and Royal, but also Heineken, Becks and Efes. I am happy with simple normal beer, not dark, ale, wheat etc. The only beer i feel is overhyped is actually Budweiser (king of beer? pfff) But that is a matter of personal preference I guess, Budweiser is too watery for me. | ||

In Bud's case it's not personal preference. It's a well known fact that Budweiser is watered crap from the US  | ||

If your ever come across it you should try the Copper Dragon - Golden Pippin. It might well be the best beer I've ever had. Imagine a fresh, well-rounded taste with hints of citrus flavours in it: DELICIOUS! ![[image loading]](http://www.bier1.de/images/CopperDragonGoldenPippin.jpg) | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/jJzCt.jpg) I really like Delirium tremens but it's a little hard to find in UK. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/GjH1S.jpg) Began drinking brewdog 4-5 months ago when managed to find some in supermarkets. They're pretty nice. I also like a lot of the belgian ones. I love beer XD (not a wine person) | ||

But hey! It those taste great  Edit: Weizen- or Weißbier = wheat beer (apparently?) | ||

the "cheap" beers here are better than the most expensive stuff you can get in for example the UK. The 2 main ones are Jupiler and Maes. Both are just amazing. Another advantage of living in Brussels is a bar here called Delirium, which holds the world record for most varieties of beer commercially available :D If you get tired of normal beer, why not get a freaking weird brew and hope you've found a favourite! My personal favourite is Campus, which you get ^^ there. Damn Brussels is awesome. You guys know where to go now EDIT: Just saw someone likes Delirium's own brand, Delirium Tremens :DDD Rock on! | ||

![[image loading]](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/46/Delirium_Tremens.jpg/260px-Delirium_Tremens.jpg) Great Belgian beer, complex and intricate flavor with no bitter aftertaste, hard to accomplish. | ||

The only one I know of is Harpoon... or any good beer you can find in a typical liquor store like Magic Hat. I need to expand my horizons! In Maine there are quite a few Shipyard, Geary's, Gritty's, to name a few. Umm.........not New England or micro but Rolling Rock is pretty good amirite? | ||

. Our real ale scene is massive, but the beer can be rather boring - save a few postmodern breweries.
