It's Austrian, and possibly the best beer ever brewed The last time I was in Austria was about 14 years ago but this picture brings up memories that are connected to relatives I have in bavaria. Is Wieselburger sold in Bavaria as well? | ||

Personally I like brown, very strong beers, with a sugar-y taste. We have couple of those fantastic beers out here (namely Kasteel red, Rochefort 10°, Westvleteren and so on). | ||

+ Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://img1.restbee.ru/bliuda-i-napitki/pivo-po-belgijski/kwak.gif) Elaboration: "While drinking from the glass, the bulb at the bottom will remain filled for a relatively long time. As soon as air reaches the still-filled bulb, a large amount of beer will gush towards the drinker. This is accompanied by a characteristic sound which sounds like Kwak spoken quickly." | ||

We have bars with over 2.000 beers in Brussels. First I wanted to avoid writing in a thread comparing beer mixed drinks (and not beer!) but now you got me, girl. I have to state the obvious fact that Germany is ofc the number one country of beers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer_in_Germany They have the most brands, the highest density of breweries and the oldest existing brewery in the world. Done. | ||

Done. Also has some of the most strict brewing laws. Personally, I enjoyed the beer when I was there, but prefer more variety. The microbrew scene in the US is currently the most interesting imo. When I went to pubs in Germany, I was limited to German beers, but in Italy- there was German, Belgian, French (Du Demon knocked me on my ass a few times lol- very stronk), even Mexican (Desperado- a better tasting version of Tequiza) etc etc. Don't know if it was just coincidence or luck of the draw of the pubs I visited. Great beer, just got a bit samey after awhile (same with Belgian brews). Also never really cared for the "soapy" aftertaste of Belgian and some German brews, although I do enjoy them aside from that. | ||

Sweden vs Finland in the semifinals soon. Cheers. I don't know anything about Dugges Golgata bitter but the rest of the beers are world class. I recently had a Barney Flats oatmeal stout and it was incredibly nice and smooth. Chimay blue is one of my all time favourites. Just make sure you use proper glassware and drink it at the right temperature. I myself have a couple of imperial stouts/porters, namely the Yeti by Great Divide and the Gonzo by Flying Dog. Amazing stuff. The Yeti in particular has a ridiculous amount of flavour in it and it tastes like an IPA and a chocolate stout at the same time. | ||
