really? I quite enjoy it over here in the states and think its just as good as the pints i had in dublin

I live in San Diego and we have some awesome local brews down here. Stone, Ballast Point, and AleSmith to name a few. I love the Stone IPA and the Stone Double Bastard. The Ballast Point White Ale is also amazing. AleSmith has a few good ones but they are pretty expensive. Russian River Brewing compnay makes the best Beer I've ever had though, A cold Pliny the Elder. Blind Pig also comes in as a close second from the same brewery. I also like George Killians Irish Red beer, it's pretty good. Also, some Chezch Pilsner is really good.

It definitely tastes better in the U.K. I definitely noticed the difference.

@Gatsbi
The Three Philosophers is a very nice brew! I haven't had it in a couple years, but I remember thoroughly enjoying it! I've heard really good things about the Delerium one you have there, but haven't gotten around to trying it yet.
For this weekend I picked up a 4 pack of SixPoint Brewery's Bengali Tiger, a 4 pack of Dogfish Head's Chicory Stout, and a 22oz bottle of Southern Tier's Krampus. So far I've had one of each of the first 2 I mentioned. The Bengali Tiger was quite tasty, with a significant amount of dry-hops (64 IBU) that are well balanced with just the right amount of malts. It doesn't do anything crazy, but it's not trying to. It's just a super tasty, easy to drink, yet not too plain beer. At only 6.4% you can have a few and still be fine, which isn't often the case w/ craft brews. The Chicory Stout was what I expected for the most part. It tastes of nice roasted malts along with smoked wood that reminds me of sitting by a campfire. The one thing that surprised me about it was the hop profile was very prevalant for a stout! Many stouts are just so full of malt that you can't taste the hops, but not this one! A fairly good stout that I wouldn't mind having some more of, especially during the winter months because of the smokey flavor.
I'll have to check back in once I've tasted the Krampus! =)

i love beer so much. im going to get some tonight actualy

a few of my favourite beers are young's double chocolate stout, bitter and twisted, old engine oil, fullers ESB.. i love most ales and stouts.
unfortunately it's either hard and/or expensive to get of lot of good international beers down in australia. i definitely want to go on a beer tasting holiday throughout both the UK and america. i'm not sure if this site has been tossed into the thread yet http://beeradvocate.com/lists/popular but goddamn some of those american stouts sound good. haven't been able to source any imperial stouts down here..

It's Friday here! And we got the best beer we could afford this week!

living in michigan we have a very good group of craft brewers here. love me some founders, dark horse, bells, and shorts. favorite brewers outside of michigan are the great divide, stone, dogfish, victory. big fan of ipa's and most beers with rye and a good imperial stout.
kudo's to the guy that posted sublimely self-righteous. that's my favorite beer.

You win! AleSmith is SO good. Their speedway stout is definitely one of my favorites of all time. God I want to try some of their other beers, but they seem hard to come by if you're not on the west coast.

delirium tremens is very good

It's really unfair. That you live IN Belgium and all. What do you think of Orval and Duvel? We get those here in the states, and they are damned good.
