I picked Germany because of its Wiehenstephaner that they enjoy, but really, the new world countries (Canada, Oz, US) have great boutique/micro breweries that make lovely beers and ales to suit everyone's tastes. Just like there's a foreign beer to suit everyone's tastes. And sometimes it's all about the occasion and your mood, and what food you're eating at the time.

Whoever makes Coors Light.

Einstök White Ale - Iceland.

Belgium.

I have never had alcohol, so I have no idea.

Whoever makes Coors Light.

I was recently at a party where I brought some fancy stuff along with me.. But I saw a Coors Light in the main cooler and something , maybe it was the heat, maybe it was the sun , just called out to me.

I drank that Coors Light and, to be perfectly honest, enjoyed it. It wasn't flavorful. But at the same time, it wasn't flawed. It was crisp, clean, and refreshing. There are a lot worse things I could have been drinking , some of them which carry the "craft" moniker on them.

Am I going to rush out and buy a "cube" of Coors Light? Absolutely not. But at that time, and that place, it worked out really well.

Can't answer since you've put England and not Britain/UK.

what the f*ck is the difference?

Belgium.

I remember thinking I knew a lot about beer, until I visited Brickskellar in DC and drank from the Belgium section of the menu. I felt like such an amateur.

 

[22:22:22]

Although German weiss beers are quite nice as well. As was the one Con-Z-epT gave me

It was the blue mountains on the can.

Don't say that. There must be delicious beers all over the world and most of us will answer from within our own experiences.

We don't have those thin cans over here. Growing up watching American movies it was always weird seeing these cans

Then again he's a strong man lol

[22:22:22]

Here in the Netherlands we have Bock beer. It's seasonal for Fall. Although it's a very dark looking beer..

 

[NickFire]

Team Mexico over here. And yes, its cause Corona.

I mess with this in the winter months too,

Young's Double Chocolate Stout - England

 

[Mossybrew]

The US has so many breweries these days it's no competition.

The US has so many breweries these days it's no competition.

But to be fair the best micros, IMHO, are just delivering on styles perfected elsewhere.

Marzens, wee heavy, imperial stouts, etc.

What style of beer is distinctly american? That sour ale shit? Quintuple IPAs? GASP...hard seltzers!?

 

[RAL1992]

I'll have to give it to the Czech's

Edit: Polish beer is phenomenal aswell.

Drop a scoop of vanilla ice cream into it....fantastic!

I'd have to go with the UK (+ Ireland) as IPA's and Stouts are my favorite kind of beer.
Of course these days with microbreweries and craft beer you can find good Ipas and stouts almost everywhere but being the country of origin has to count for something.

 

[newtypepilot]

which country has the best beer girls?

 

[01011001]

I might be biased but nothing beats a German Hefeweizen straight out of the barrel.

 

[Rival]

In America we have almost as many microbreweries as we do guns. Plus we have Busch. Head to the mountains motherfuckers.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Not an expert so I won't vote. But based on my experience:

• German beer: awesome. Tastes great and it doesn't make you feel filled.
• American beer: no. They are too light and don't taste good, at least those that I have tried.
• Spanish beer: Not as good as the one from Germany, but still very good. I recommend Estrella Galicia and Alhambra.

Worst contenders for me are Heineken, Carlsberg, Budweisser and Coronita. Fuck those.

 

[Trogdor1123]

I’m not a huge beer guy but my favourite of all time is “Imperial” which is from Portugal I guess. I can never ever find it now though

 

[Wildebeest]

If you support a proper local brewery, the beer is likely taste better and not be flat.

But I'd like an Irish stout now so I voted that.

 

[Helghan]

It's Belgium and it's not even close

 

[Punished Miku]

Thats what I was going to say. Its like hundreds of small scale, high quality, interesting breweries. The import section is so small in comparison and doesn't really have stuff thats unique to them anymore.

For me its 1) US, 2) Germany, 3) Japan.

I've never had beer from Belgium. Might have to try that.

 

[SpiceRacz]

And it's not even close.

 

[Putonahappyface]

Hofbräu is my favourite beer, so Germany gets my vote.

 

[jason10mm]

With enough beer, ANY of them

But is this even a serious question???

 

[MudoSkills]

Belgium shits all over everyone else from such an astonishing height.

 

[PaddyOCanager]

Belgium #1
Germany#2

You can swap these, but if you chose anything otherwise then your taste is worse than the inside of a dumpster.

Yep that's you.

 

[TheDreadBaron]

I really enjoy a japanese beer, it’s so clean tasting.

Einstök White Ale - Iceland.

This 1000 times. People are so focused on hárkarl and svið they forget about the culinary things Iceland definitely does right. Good vodka as well! I could eat their lamb stew for every meal!

 

[Erdrick]

We've got some decent beers up here in Canada but Germany and Belgium will always be my favourite producers based on the styles they do.

 

[TGO]

Who voted America

With enough beer, ANY of them

Nice blonde

 

[Hoddi]

I swear by Weihenstephaner so that automatically gets my vote.

I'm Icelandic and I've never even eaten shark. And 'svið' is disgusting because you're basically tongue kissing a sheep and then eating its face.

Our booze is top notch though. We have the experience.

Belgium

[12Goblins]

Belgium and its not really up for debate

 

[GeekyDad]

...

Wait...what were we talking about again?

 

[ahtlas7]

I don’t drink much beer but Belgium is great. I think everyone here brews their own brand so it’s a different beer every time.

 

[akimbo009]

Has to be America. Just so many micro brews, choices, and options that it's insane. There's nothing one can't find.

That said, if not the US, it's Czech. Way better than German, suckahs.
