The cool thing about Chimay is the fact that Trappist monks in Belgium brew it to support themselves and their good causes. So remember, when you buy a bottle of Chimay, you're supporting God's work! Wink

In my country México we have excellent beers:

Tyskie. Yum! Second favorite Pilsner Urquel.

Of those listed...Newcastle.

"PA = LOL^WTF" - Me, with help on this equation from Pat (Padraic).

Got to love the ad bot. Across the top of the screen is "Guiness Beer Diet!"

I've tried it. Almost as effective as the "3 loaves of bread diet"

I'm not much of a beer-drinker (Since i'm too young to legally drink).
But i enjoy most of the ones i've tried (mostly swedish ones).

Norrlands Guld

is probably my favorite

Seriously - Quebec - La Fin du Monde & la Blanche de Chambly, France - Fischer, Denmark - Faxe (the 10% one), New Brunswick - most of my 8-10% homebrews (Dry Lager, Blonde, IPA), and the craft brewery down my street - the Pumphouse Brewery with their Scotch Ale, Cadian, and one I've never tasted - their blueberry ale.
I'll come back once I check my basement and the empties.

Some tasty beers listed there for sure, DBG.

I have had the Pumphouse Blueberry (several six packs, all told), and I find it to be a very nice, refreshing "summer starter" beer. (That is, not one to drink long into the night, but a very nice beer to start with, for one or two, when the sun is out.) Don't let the "blueberry" aspect put you off: the blueberry flavour is very subtle (yet definitely there), all natural, and not at all cloying or sweet (as is the case with some fruit beers). In short, it is not too "girly:"

I have shared this beer with my friends, PA's Jim & Vicky Garten, and they really liked it too. We have sought it out and enjoyed it for two summers now, when vacationing together in Newfoundland.

Just now, I'm sampling an "Ontario Craft Brewers" variety six-pack, and the current one is "Nickel Brook Green Apple Pilsener." This is a light beer, with the usual natural ingredients, plus apple juice, and this fruit beer, while not bad, is rather too sweet and "girly," for my tastes.

I'll try the Elora Irish Ale next -- see if that "mans up" the equation at all....

I like many beers from all over -- I'm always looking for something new, and I look for taste, and all-natural ingredients -- but on this list, I'll raise a glass to the very tasty Hoegaarden Weisse.

I even have a Hoegaarden glass! (I collect beer glasses.)

I notice everyone is being polite to the ~~Pist~~ Pabst Blue Ribbon drinker. Far be it from me to be otherwise....

Definitely one of my favorites from 'The Rock' (well, technically Nova Scotia??

), but as you say, definitely a one-or-two in the afternoon beer (I find the blueberry flavour tends to take over after that)

But talking of Nfld - how could I not recommend my favorite tipple from that glorious isle?:

Proof positive that ice cold beer need not be flavour free!

Don't laugh, but try it with a slice of lemon; that really works.
