There's a woman in our (US) office who explained the same thing - that Foster's is like your Busch Lite (a cheapo U.S. beer in case it's not an export). Funny stuff.

Ever try the Midas Touch? It's based on the recipe for beer found in the pyramids. It's a slow sipper that I can barely stomach but makes me feel like Ra.

Leffe Blonde

+1 - I have two Leffe Brune "champagne style" bottles sitting in the cupboard just waiting for the occasion. At 3€ for a 75cl bottle you can't go wrong

Also, by far the best meal I ever had (at "no. 1" here in Copenhagen) came with a Brune and the best steak I ever had, with the best beer I've ever had -

The best beer in the world is the one that you want so freakin bad when you're beyond thirsty. Not too cold, so you can down the whole thing and bring on that slightly convulsive beergasm. Not unlike a peegasm which has a close kinship to beergasms. This, topped off with a slightly uncomfortable amount of beer air in the stomach and then the satisfying relief of a giant burp. I'm gonna hit the store tonight a grab some of your recommendations.

My .02 cents. and some ancient history. I just don't feel like working right now. Mmmm beer.

EARLIEST KNOWN CHEMICAL EVIDENCE OF BEER
circa 3500-3100 B.C.

NOVEMBER, 1992--Researchers in the Museum Applied Science Center for Archaeology (MASCA) at The University Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, University of Pennsylvania, analyzed an organic residue from inside a pottery vessel dated circa 3500-3100 B.C. from the site of Godin Tepe in the Zagros Mountains of western Iran. Their findings provide the earliest known chemical evidence of beer in the world. Archaeological chemist Dr. Patrick E. McGovern and organic chemist Dr. Rudolph H. Michel carried out a chemical Feigl spot test on a pale yellowish residue that filled grooves within an ancient jug; the tests were positive for oxalate ion. The Feigl spot test is a standard chemical technique, though previously unemployed for this purpose. Calcium oxalate (the calcium salt from the oxalate ion) is a major component of "beerstone" and settles out on the surfaces of fermentation and storage tanks of barley beer, as the researchers believe occurred with the ancient residue.

My favourite german beer: BECKS
I also like wheat beer, but I can´t drink it.
Don´t know why, but if I drink only one my
head is close to explosion the next day

But the best beer I ever tasted was czech beer.
Budvar/Budweiser and Pilsener Urquell were not
under the best ones. Best for me were Staropramen
and Velkopopovický Kozel.

btw., if you speak "Velkopopovický Kozel" like german
words it´s something like "withered-ass-fucky-pukey"

what's the best beer in the world?

fucking michigannnn!!!!!!!
