There has been alot of fluf posts around so I thought mayby we could get down to some serious discussions :P

Beaver top five picks

1.Moose Head
2.Alexander Keiths IPA
3.Sleeman silver creek lager
4.Becks
5.Upper Canada lager

I prefer Canadian brew first, but my second would have to be German. I am shure all the beer drinkers are wondering what brew the B.A. drinks.

Wow. A dream come true. I can name my top five today, but it changes.

1. Grant's Perfect Porter (US)
2. Molson Ice (or as you Canucks would say "Canadian Ice.)
3. Young's Double Chocolate Stout (UK)
4. Sleeman's Dark Lager (Canada)
5. Celebrator Doplebock (Germany)

I could go on and on and the above 5 are interchangable.
Best of all is brewing your own.

I'm not much of a beer drinker, but doesn't the U.S. of A. have some beer companies, too?

(Oh, and BTW, Belgian isn't a country, it's a waffle!)

Now you are talking my language.
As I sit here in St. Louis, Busch and Budwieser remain on everyones mind.
However, having spent 9 years in Germany, I had the chance to try many different brews. You have to keep in mind that there are upwards of 1600 distinct brands, many of which are only availiable at the small brewery that makes them. We refer to this as 'micro brews', Germans call this concept 'normal'. The brew of preference amoung us stationed in Ansbach was Hauff. this was produced by a small brewery in the small nearby town of Lichtenau. They opened for business in 1489. when we had to go to the Hohenfels training Area for tactical training, the local brew was Thurn und taxis out of Regensburg, they started brewing in 1066.
There were many others in between, their names escape me (been a long time). I used to go to a little Gasthaus in Vestenburg (near Ansbach) when I ran out of Hauff, the place was a little hole in the wall, but they produced a fine product. While I was in Kaiserslautern, BBK (Bayerish Brauerei Kaiserslautern) ruled the roost. they produced, among others, a brand they called 'Pirminator'. We called them 'Terminators' because this was a dark beer with alcohol content far above what was considered normal. It's been almost 9 years since I last left Germany and I have yet to find a brew which can compare to those fine brews that for now, remain a fond memory. 8)

GmannLuckuly I live in Ontario, our liqour stores here carry a large variety, and there is lots a specialty bars you can find almost anything.

I said German was my second choice because I was forced to vote Canadian for patriotic reasons.

I get to Ann Arbor occassionally, and when I'm there I make a point of stopping at a joint called Ashley's--60 different beers on tap and lots more bottled. I think most Americans are so stuck on mass-produced lagers that they never even taste all the wonderful varieties of beers out there, especially the ales--my favorites.
Gmann--A couple of years ago I made a Russian imperial stout for Christmas. Due to some last minute changes (realized I needed more yeast and did some substituting) I wound up with a beer whose alcohol content was approaching that of wine. Add that to the already hearty contents and I had a beer you could eat with a spoon. Oddly, I've had several requests to make it again.

Hmmmmmmm PBR........Ok not really. But there is a great little brewery in Atlanta called Sweetwater that makes a nice line. Otherwise I like Sam Adams, Molson, and this crap one of the guys in my lab brews. It is an odd sort of taste like a pilsner only kind of thick at the same time and boy oh boy will it set your eyes blurring quick.

It appears Germany is winning easily.. Well, it's Germany. What do you expect? I even voted for it and I've never drank except for a sip from my aunt's drink and that tasted like stainless steel to me. BLEH. -Colt

This Australian is upset...

I think I can understand it though - we have fantastic beer - I've drunk all sorts of imports and they don't compare! However, we only export a product some of you may know - Fosters. As far as the majority of Australians are concerned - Fosters is pig-swill. Even the export quality stuff - what you guys would know us by - doesn't stack up with the other beers.

I voted for Holland - as Dutch imports appeal to me - and my own beer is not on the list.
Don't like UK beers - they're often not refrigerated (what the?!?).
Don't like US beers - too much like making love at the beach (do NOT ask me to explain this one - it's rude)

My fav beer is called Crown Lager - jeez it's nice. More alcohol content - but wow - soo smooth and silky. We also have a good bitter beer - Victoria Bitter - if you're feeling a little more salty. =D>

Hey freddo, We had Foster's make a debut in Canada after the Crocodile Dundee craze. Bought it and after the first bottle gave it to the bums that did not understand BYOB (bring your own bottle) at a couple of parties I hosted. Finding Fosters in Canada is like finding a rationalist in a I Love Lucy convention.

I'd have to say out of the list provided I would have to go with Germany. I prefer their darker beers. The U.S., however, makes my favorite beer: Samuel Adams close second would have to be Amberbach. Most other main stream beers on this side of the pond taste like barley water like Mic and Mic lite, and Budwiser. I think I get more of a buzz from Coca Cola.

Ashley's is a fine place! If you're partial to such things, they also have an excellent selection of single malts, including a couple nice merchant bottled varieties. And if you like strong beer, Ashley's may still stock Thomas Hardy's Ale, an excellent barley wine that should be experienced.

Argh! Crocodile Dundee!! Another one of those things to come from Australia and contribute to our cliched reputation.

Fosters is poor going at the best of times. That's why we export it - no Aussie is stupid enough to down it!

freddo I am so happy to hear from the land down under, where the men thunder.

Aussies (and your Kiwi neighbours) are so cool that everyone I know would love to live there.

Me? I hate you all! Sunny beaches, you beat the s*** out of Canada in every summer event---however, we do beat the s*** of you in winter sports!

Aussies that everyone loves (and everyone knows it):

Nicole Kidman
Mel Gibson
The gladiator guy

Who knows about all the great Canadians?

Mary Pickford (America's sweetheart) She started United Artists with Chaplin and someone else.
MGM---The second M was Mayor---a Canadian
James Carry
Mike Myers
Pam Anderson
Mom
