Which country do you think produces the best tasting Beer?

[Ayutthaya11]

I'm going to have to go with the Czech Republic on this one.

[kurtramsbottom]

Maybe they stole the secrets from the Czechs' but Germany does it for me for beer ...

[Crazy chef 1]

Germany - nowhere else in the world you have a greater choice of beer....

[Ayutthaya11]

I'm just waiting for someone to say " America - Budweiser " lol

[lazygourmet]

Belgium, of course...

[Naam]

Germany - nowhere else in the world you have a greater choice of beer....

the OP's question is the equivalent of "in which country is a piece of string longer?"

and choice does not mean quality. moreover, it depends on an individual's taste which brand he/she might consider "best".

i drank excellent beers in Nigeria, Botswana and South Africa.

but as greater the choice the possibility to find one which suits you is bigger...

btw- i liked Hunters in South Africa...

[sipi]

I have tasted some fine ales from some micro-breweries in New Zealand.

Only sometimes available commercially, but liquid gold..

[Soutpeel]

Belgium or Germany

Germany or Belgium

not sure which way round to be honest

Savannah has been also my best friend at my time there...

Can't beat a good pint of British bitter.

None of the cold, weak, fizzy stuff that so much of the world seems to think is good beer.

[Stan42]

Deutschland

[jdinasia]

The US, but not the huge companies. The microbrews available are awesome

Belgium, of course...

Seconded.

(best waffles and chocolate too)

[transam]

As I love Real Ale pulled by a manual pump, not gas, I will say England.........

[nidieunimaitre]

Are you talking about pilsner (or lager)?

Every country in the world produces them, and they all taste fundamentally the same.

Hinano from Tahiti, Leo, Heineken, Stella Artois, .... hardly any difference between them.

But if you are talking about REAL beer, the answer is obvious: B E L G I U M

I admit that we have bad beer too, Stella, Jupiler, (both pilsner), Leffe, Belle Vue, Corsendonck and generally speaking, most of the beers that we export.

For a full list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Belgian_beer

That list has 146 breweries and 1.150 beers (that excludes labeled beers, that are sold under different brand names)

Real beers or pilsner types?

[Ayutthaya11]

I did once quite enjoy Tsingtao (Chinese) and Asahi (Japanese)

[Jingthing]

Belgium and Czech Rep.

I'm sure some U.S. microbreweries do rate but would consider the mass beer culture in the consideration.

[WhamBam]

Newcastle Brown Ale.

Castle Beer in Winnipeg.

Too many lager like beers calling themselves beer for my taste. They often look and taste like diluted p*ss.

In my younger days, Carlsberg Special was a hit.

Overall, cider has always been my favourite tipple.

Savannah dry, I remember we used to fill our fridge of it weekly from the local shoprite store when I worked on the construction yard in Lobito Angola, great to come back from finishing a hot shift and down a couple of cold bottles of the savannah, incidentally before I went away on my last rotation picked up a couple of bottles of it from the shelf in our local topps here, highly over priced in this neck of the woods of course but couldn't resist.

[slipperylobster]

Canada. Especially good when drinking it with anyone but a Canadian.

[Crazy chef 1]

It must be Thailand...because whenever I see a foreigner here he is drinking Leo,Chang or Singha...

[jdinasia]

Canada. Especially good when drinking it with anyone but a Canadian.

I spent many an evening in my misspent youth drinking Moosehead beer in Maine. Tried it again last summer. Too sweet for my taste now.

Fat Tire did the trick though...

Norway has the best craft beer in the world thanks to Nøgne Ø. Now world famous.

You can order Nøgne Ø through Wishbeer in Bangkok. Not cheap but actually worth it if you like to taste something extraordinary.

Nøgne ø ... the brewery from Norway that refuses to compromise, committed to taste, committed to craft beer.

Ale - England.

Lager - Cambodia.

Yep. Asahi is a nice brew.

Strongbow is best, yeah I know, I'm a peasant.
