I live in the US but consider my "country of origin" to be Ireland. Ulster to be exact.

How about what we want, now?

After world peace and a cure for cancer, and distributive justice, I want the power of telekinesis.

You must be dutch or german :D
It's impossible to argue about taste I guess...

Actually, I'm English. I just happen to live about half a mile from a pub where they sell the kind of beer where you have to put a £10 deposit on the glass :)

I don't much like Stella, but it isn't the worst beer I've had. I had this one called Samiclaus, I think, that was about 14%, and tasted like a cross between whiskey and bacon. I had it with a group of friends, and nobody else liked it either. Unfortunately, I took a bet that I could drink everyone else's for them. I won, of course, but nobody paid up, on account of the fact that I required assistance to get home (or anywhere other than the floor).

You English know good beer too. Hobgoblin is my second favorite :D
The worst beer I've ever tasted is "delirium tremens" (20%) which tastes like...uhm...I can't really describe it, but munching on a piece of wood would give you an idea. That and "miller" which tastes like dishwater...

I agree on Hobgoblin :)

I don't think I've had delerium tremens, but 20% sounds a bit heavy for a beer. The only reason we had Samiclaus, was because it was the strongest beer on the menu.

There were hoards of strange bottles and glasses on the shelf behind the bar, and a little 'special' glass room off to the side, filled with mysterious kegs. We always used to go through the menu ordering stuff, to see if it would be something out of the 'special' room. I think we identified one beer that was apparently deemed special enough to go in this little room.

I think it was special because of the glass:

I had to put a £10 deposit on that glass, but it was so unique, I was tempted to steal it... The beer was called Kwak. It tasted a bit... herbal. I wasn't sure if I was drinking beer or a vinaigrette. :?

I've got a couple of these glasses, they come free with a sixpack. I lived in Belgium for a few years, that's where it's made.
It's brewed from cherries. That's why it tastes kind of funny and is so bright red.

Cherries? I had no idea. I kept expecting to find a pinecone in the bottom or something. I only had it once.

Erdinger glasses are pretty cool too. They're just really tall and thin.

Erdinger is made from wheat I think, I've seen guys put the bottle upside down in the glasses to pour it. I've never tried it. Now I will.

The Belgians have a bunch of strange glasses...And they are really fanatical about it too, put the beer in the "wrong" glass and it's undrinkable.

I had such plans to go to belgium and drink lots of beer, and come back poor and hung over, but it never came to anything. I think that's the only reason I'd ever actually go to belgium.

They must do.

The only reason English people go to Europe, is because of the abundance, and general cheapness of booze. I'm pretty sure my parents only go to France to drink wine.

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction....The chain reaction of evil--hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars--must be broken, or we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation."

I never saw the attraction. I guess it's because the place is lawless and crazy.
