Which country makes the best beer?

[Serb]

Nah, you don't get it. I was trying to say- "who do you think voted for Russia?".
Guess who?

Most of the russian beers are godawful, sorry Serb. In my 5 year stay I drank only one halfway passable. It was a microbrew (surprise, surprise) somewhere in the swamps between Leningrad and Moscow. Near Kryukovo, btw. . Its name was "Yachmennyj Kolos" and after the piss we usually had it tasted really good. We smuggled masses of it in the camp and drank it at evenings.

Also a special place in my heart still have the beers from the open air beer kiosks, which we had every Sunday 10-11am, regardless of the weather. I remember days, when we had them at -25° to -30°C and had to drink fast or else the beer would have frozen in the glasses.

Yup, this poll is lacking. World's best beers come from Czech Rep. and Belgium.

I remember this piss, it's the same sh!t as "Zhigulevskoe". Soviet beers really suked. They were nowhere near than modern Russian beers.
My favorite, Siberian crown (produced in my home city)

Obviously, Dutch. Who's the heathen that doesn't enjoy Oranjeboom?!

I somehow expected, that things would have changed. The last time I was in Siberia (in Novosibirsk), I didn't drink any beer, only vodka and russian champagne, which is also pretty good.

Btw: I remember Zhigulevskoe... :vomit: (I miss this smiley )

EDIT: Btw, the best drink in Russia is not beer or vodka, but Kvas. Oj how I miss it. I didn't see it yet in any other country, only in Russia. It's definitely the best thing to drink on a hot day (like now here).

So many good beer nations left out... I refuse to vote!
Some great beers from countries not included:

Carnegie Porter (Sweden)
Radegast (Czech Rep.)
Carlsberg Porter (Denmark)
Pripps Blå (Sweden)
Purkmistr (Czech Rep.)


Good beers for hot summer days or for just getting drunk:

Blågul (Sweden)
Lapin Kulta (Finland)
Norrlands Guld (Sweden)
and many more

Mmm... beer...

USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!

Actually, when I was in Wyoming a couple of years ago I tried a few local beers and one of them was actually very good. Can't remember the name though. Too bad all the exported American beers are like making love in a canoe

I agree (besides German ) Irish´s good too.

mmmmmmmmmmmmm beer.

Who cares? I like some from everywhere, but I have never had a beer I didn't like from Germany...

I have had some pretty nasty stuff from the US, Canada, and Mexico though...

Just going with consistency here.

British.

I thought we were talking about beer by the way, not lager.

[Japher]

To me lager and Bocks are beer... take your pale ales, wheats, and stouts back, I don't like them...

Ale isn't beer either - but they're all close enough to class as the same stuff.

"Lager" is a commercial term invented in the UK. Outside the UK it means bugger all.

So why didn't you vote Netherlands then?
