Ugg....I can't stand Guiness at all...

Whenever is Washgignton DC, go to brickkellers, near Dupont circle: they hold thew Guiness World Record for largest collection of bottled beers, about 1000, with about 1/3 American beers (moslty microbrews) and then the rest international: and they are relatively cheap too.

I like Lagers most of all, good Pilsners, Bocks, Double Bocks, trippel Bocks, so forth and so on, so German, Austrian and Czech beers appeal most to me. As for American mass manufactured beers, I think Sam Adams is fine, and I like Yuengling from Penn. Here in NY they seel it for $4.49 for a 6-pack, since they are trying to break into the market

Um, I don't know! I doesn't say anything on the bottle I have here. It's got the logo (big S), Staropramen, Premium Prague Beer... Colours are gold then green, red and gold rim, white background (In case that means anything)...

Cool. Although if you REALLY want to make me jealous, go to St. James's Gate, Dublin....
Now that's a place I want to visit a lot

I must recommend the original Czech Budweiser, which tastes nothing like it's American counterpart.

Hmmmm, I've been to both but if I remember correctly (thinking through beer induced haze) it was in Fort Bragg and I remember drinking Old Raspution Imperial Stout, Red Tail Ale, and a half dozen others when I was there.

My favorite beer of all times has to be Edelwiesse Hefetrub from Austria. It has a perfumy-flower like fragrence and one of the most subtle, yet, complex flavors I have ever tasted. There was a specialty drinks store in San Diego where I used to buy it but so far I haven't found any place in Sacramento that carries it.

I wish I could find it again.

Not even the Aussies will stomach that garbage they prefer beers like 4X; which is a rather nice beer.

But please stop with the Guiness, we have it here, it is sold in any supermarket.

Thanks again!

Thanks Sten, I knew I wasn't totally insane. Just mostly.

BTW folks look at the Beeradvacate link that Sten posted. Two of the world's top three beers come from my home town!!! San Diego is the best baby.

Edit: Spelling.

While we are around Anderson Valley, I would be remiss if I failed to mention the Anderson Valley Brewing Company midway between Hopland and Ft. Bragg. Their Barney Flats Oatmeal Stout is my 'usual' at my local pub, though it is, I think, much better on tap than bottled.

Anderson Valley's Boont ale is a very refressing and absolutely drinkable ale. Its smell & copper color even remind of Mendocino.

That stuff is strong! I love it! Never heard anyone else, besides me mention it.

I also like Fat Tire, from Fort Collins, CO... It is finally making its way to my neck of the woods.

One of my old college roommates was from Fort Collins so every time he went home to visit his family was asked him to bring back a case of Flat Tire. Yum, yum, yum... *Hick-up*...

Fresh beer!

In Eugene OR there's a micro brew pub called Steelhead brewery which makes and serves several different beers and serves them fresh. Or you can bring them home in the little plastic tubs...umm, nevermind.

Never mind the foreign muck, there are plenty of great beers right here in North America. US beers are better than Canadian ones now.

All about Beer did a servay of breweries in each of the top ten beer producing countries to find out which styles they brewed and how availible each different type was. The result? Not only does the U.S. have the most breweries of any country but it also has the most styles of beers brewed and availible in most areas of the country.

Eat your hearts out Euros.

Here is an interesting article.
Quote:
Beverage industry analyst Datamonitor reports that at the end of 2002 the U.S. was the world's most valuable beer market, with sales of about $73.7 billion. In terms of per capita consumption of beer, Czech drinkers continue to out drink all others, downing an average of 326 U.K. pints a year. Irish drinkers came in second with 300 pints, followed by Germany, Austria and Belgium. In terms of value per capita, the Irish spent $1,282.00, the Norwegians $657.00 and the British $537.00 each on beer. Norway had the most expensive beer prices in the world, with the average pint costing $5.54. Malaysia came in second in the cost of a pint, $5.18, followed by Japan at $4.47. The Irish, of course, top the list as stout drinkers, quaffing 134 pints per head of population, followed by the British with a much lower seven pints per person, averaged across the entire population.
Czechs drink 326 pints a year?! Jesus, those guys must be drinking just about every day. Also why do you guys in Norway put up with having the most expensive beer in the world? I mean expensive gas is sucky enough but the government can take my beer bottle from my cold dead hand...
