    It's usually implied in these kinds of threads that what is meant is the best beer that you have had, but I can't say your point isn't valid. Great avatar BTW.

    You're taking this thread too seriously. It's just fun to list some beers...

    Can only comment on beers I've had:

    England: Samuel Smith's _____ stout. You could pick the oatmeal or the RIS. For me the RIS.
    Belgium: Completely agree with Rochefort 10 although not by a lot over St. Bernardus 12.
    Canada: La Fin du Monde by a hair over Trois Pistoles
    USA: Not a big IPA fan, so Parabola
    Germany: Ayinger ur-Weiss, Weiheinstephaner Vitus.
    Netherlands: Heineken fresh, unpasteurized, on tap over there when I was 18 years old in 1984.

    True that. Nobody can try everything. I just think it shows a little lack of knowledge on the beer scene in general in England specifically if Sam Smith is the first thing people come up with.

    Some of my favorites while working in the UK was Butcombe Bitter, and Adnams Broadside cask
    Scotland: Anything from Traquir or Orkney's Dark Island cask
    USA: Um, I really can't say. Right now, maybe Live Oak Hefe?
    I really want to travel Germany, cause there are so many great breweries and experiences I want to try. Though nothing we get here I don't think compares. For a number or reasons. Freshness, for one.

    Good luck with that, this will be an endless attack/debate.

    I'd just go off the highest rankings per country and keep it objective (somewhat)

    Well then you'd only be taking into account the very limited experiences of folks from the states.

    Not bad. Not bad. If you had to go by the paltry examples that are imported then you could certainly do worse.

    Belgium: Cantillon Fou' Foune :stuck_out_tongue: But overall, incorporating tradition and ease of access, etc. I'd probably go with the Cantillon Geuze.

    Without the Brettanomyces, it's not the real thing. Very disappointing.

    That may be the best German beers you can get your hands on in Washington. By no means these are THE best German beers. Not by a very long shot.

    In the opinion of yourself and perhaps your generation Marquis but you may have noticed that others have begun to enjoy non cask beers in the UK over the past 5 years or so.

    Name a brewery located in a railway arch in London beginning with a 'K' ... anyone ?
