      Belgium, of course.

      I haven't found a beer yet that can top Leffe Blond.

        Soviet beers really suked. They were nowhere near than modern Russian beers.

          As far as Russian beer is concerned, I like the products of the Baltika brewery..a pint for $1.29 at the supermarket (thank God for Immigrants!, I also get Bavarian Weisse for a buck a pint!)

          As for Irish Beer, I have hated every Irish beer I have ever tasted, and I do not care for Guiness one bit.

            Hmmmm... You can (and do) drink this stuff all day long.

            I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.

              Though for Florida hot summers I'm begining to enjoy IPAs, which are Brit beers.

                "Lager" is a commercial term invented in the UK. Outside the UK it means bugger all.
                Not true, ale and lager are the two different types of beer. Whether a beer is an ale or a lager depends on whether one uses a top fermenting yeast or a bottom fermenting yeast, though I forget which is which. All other beers are one of these two. Generally ales are darker than lagers, but this isn't always true.

                  Baltika is alright but nothing special and Tinkov is much better then I expected a Russian beer to be. It had a very unique flavor; of course I half expect to find they get their water from the outflow of an old Soviet nuclear plant but still the beer is decent.

                      I like Straus's red trolley ale but Stone Brewing Company is without a doubt the best brewing company in San Diego county. They have won TONS of awards and several beer web sites have voted Stone's Imperial Russian Stout to be the best beer in the world. I'm 100% serious it's been in all the major beer magazines and web sites.

                      Callaghan's in Mira Mesa makes a killer blueberry-wheat beer and their Scottish Barley Wine is to die for. The SD Brewing company (located by the Q in Mission Valley) puts out a very flavorful nutbrown ale and I found their hard Ginger Ale (it's the real stuff; a beer made with Ginger) to be spicy and flavorful while their Honey Mead (no grain is used it's all just honey, water, hops, and yeast) smell's like fresh flowers and is very refreshing if a bit on the sweet side for my taste.

                      Then of course you have the industrial places like Full Sail Brewing and Gorden Boursch which I believe make boring, bland, beers and I believe there are several new places in North County which I haven't been to yet and I know there is a brewery on Miramar road right across from the Marine Corp Air Base which is supposed to be good but I haven't gone into that place either.

                        Alright I looked it up and here's a list of a few more breweries in SD. Most of these other then Stone and Karl Strauss are small time opporations and I haven't been to many of them but often timesyou find the most innovative and interesting brews at the small breweries.

                          I should've written "Soviet beers" and not "Russian beers", since I didn't drink the latter yet. As for Soviet beers, you should have tried the infamous brand "Zhigulevskoye". You had carefully to look at the production date. You could drink it fresh (0 days old) or 1 day old, but even then it tasted like piss (not exaggerated). If it was 2 or 3 days old, you could drink it at own risk. 4-6 days old, and it was surely already sour. 7 days and older, and it looked like a glass ball toy "Landscape in snow".

                          The picture Serb posted looks very nice and proves, that things have changed to the better.

                            Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

                              My favourite too! Though Leffe Trapist and Leffe Radieuse are good as well. Leffe Bruin sucks though IMO.
