As a fine beer expert, I have to give some details : the country where you drink the more beer per inhabitant: Germany, then England. But the country that produces the most number of beer brands is Belgium. And as a proud fan of Killian's, I have to correct you, sorry, it's Irish (it's even StPatrick Day's official beer this year, yup, not guiness), and Ireland's Kilkenny is more famous than Murphy's black stout. New Castle brown Ale (They call it a "dog" there) is fine, but usually english beer is piss, just like american beer (sorry, dudes, it's real truth). That's why english people drink a lotta beer (even girls there won't drink less than a pint). It's because the average alcohol percentage is only 3°. I scarcely drink less than 5° beers, because light beers are tasteless. A lotta beers are produced in France too, especially as soon as you talk about quantity. I leave in a port on the British Channel and I can tell you that every week I can see tons of englishmen buying heaps and heaps of beer here, because it's cheaper. These dudes just do the commute on that purpose only. Some even don't go down the boat. They buy the beer on the boat, and that's it Cointreau isn't a beer but a spirit from the Western France So my favorite beers are belgian Leffe, Grimbergen, Chimay, Irish Killians and french Desperados (which is more of a beer "cocktail"). If you ever come across one of those, taste it, I promise it's yummy.

killians irish red was bought by coors i do believe, and is brewed in the US. at least to my current understanding. perhaps there is a differant version in ireland. and kilkenny, fuck, i knew i forgot something... also, i am well aware that cointreau isnt a beer, in fact, if youll note, the "beer" title is quite misleading, as i went off on all kinds of tangents listing a few differant liqours. (i.e vodka, jager, and so forth)

Stuff like Carling and Heineken is just piss.-Also, if anyone here ever goes to Belgium, take a trip to the Stella Atrois brewery. There's free beer at the end of the guided tour.
Haha, Kronembourg (we call it 'Kro' here) is so white trash here. Although for punks it's a high class beer (expensive). I agree Carling is piss, although that's almost the only draught beer I could find anywhere in England.
And almost all belgian breweries do that stuff, they don't need any "exit" neonlight sign there, if you wanna find your way out, go where everyone goes. North of France produces a lot of "bières de garde" (which are beers that are fermentized naturally without adjunction of any bacterias -unlike regular beers). They taste special but they're good (and strong). Do you know that there are many beers that are around 12° alcohol (Thomas Hardy's Ale, Hoegarden Julius, Leffe Triple, Demon's Beer...) Oh White beer (Hoegarden, Bruges' White...) are also delicious, drink them with a lemon slice... And Vandal, I see your point, I just wanted to give details about it because... cointreau is french And prolly the killian's you drink there is produced there because it's cheapaer than shipping it from Ireland. I'm sure it's Irish. Like Budweiser in Europe is produced in Czek Republic (Prague). And, although I find it tasteless, I've been told the US version was even more like piss. Which reminds me of this guess : What's the difference between american beer and making love in a canoe ? -No difference, it's fucking close to water.
