I don't think you can put a simple #1 overall label on it.

[waggy]

every country makes some good beer. But the best i have had is a german brew.

 

[loup garou]

Belgium. No question.
US is a somewhat close second.

Tough to say. The U.S. has such a large number of very good microbrewers, it's impossible to really compare it to any other country.

That said, there really isn't anything that I like very much under a German bottler. Ireland has Guinness, Murphy's and Smithwicks all of which are very good. England has several that I really like - Youngs, Sammy Smith, Newcastle, Bass, Old Speckled Hen, ect. Belgium has some of the most unique brews that other countries can't make - the abbey ales and the quadruple malts are like no other and are truely noble brews.

For shear variety, I have to vote the US, with England being a close For uniqueness I have to say Belgium. For probably the most recognized brew and logo - Ireland takes the cake hands down with Guinness. Germany just doesn't produce anything memorable to me and really doesn't even rank in the top three.

 

[BatmanNate]

Belgium, then Ireland, then USA.

 

[BA]

Germany.

And is it just me, or does the best beer come from places with the worst food?


Although, ask any Belgian, those are really Belgian fries you're getting and Mickey-D's

What I hated about Ireland was that you basically had two choices of brews on tap - Guinness and Budweiser or Guinness and MGD. That was it. Occasionally you would find Harp or Smithwicks but those were pretty rare. And this was at somewhat larger bars/restaurants.

It's not like in the U.S. where you can go out to eat and have your choice of 10 different drafts. Ireland just didn't seem "choice friendly". Not to say that having the choice of Guinness was bad, but sometimes I just want some variety. I couldn't get it in Ireland.

 

[luvya]

Belgium + 1

 

[Fingolfin269]

I answered British Isles.

 

[lobadobadingdong]

any place that has small breweries, eveyone's beer taste is deferent.
