The Uk has, by far, the best draught beer in the world.

Wow! For objectivity, I reckon this one:

.....................the fact that there is more opportunity in the USA than any other Nation and is the main reason we are the greatest Nation on Earth!

I have tried beer in 71 countries.
I stand by my opinion.
Since there is no objective yardstick my subjective opinion must suffice!

Of course your opinion is there for jackprat to criticize!

Back to you Jack.....


So anyway where does FatB... find Boxes of Beer lao..?

Try Jingjoes - I got a case of beer lao from them before.

Good luck FB - can you please keep us informed of your hunt for the elusive Beer Lao Dark - it is indeed a good drop.

Darwinian - only 120 countries to go, in pursuit of your elusive quest for the world's best draught beer. Or perhaps your mind is already made up? Until then, your opinion remains subjective and cannot suffice - albeit you have a privileged position to report from. As above, please keep us informed as you further pursue the holy grail

Oh Stan! What can I say? I wasn't criticising his opinion - only his objectivity. However, upon reflection, his statement is probably closer to the mark than yours

Oh Prat,don't you ever get tired of looking in the mirror?

I have to say that my 'research' (records kept of over 2000 different beers in just over 2 years) would make me agree with Darwinian's statement, however that is only for "DRAUGHT" beers. When it comes to ALL beers, there is no doubt in my mind that there is only one nation that sits proudly at the top of the tree ......... BELGIUM.

Why does the smilie never get a full pint .... .... unlined glass should be filled to the brim

Is it not all down to individual tastes, what is considered nectar to one person, could be crap to another!

Main Entry: nec·tar
Pronunciation: \ˈnek-tər\
Function: noun
Etymology: Latin, from Greek nektar
Date: 1555

: the drink of the Greek and Roman gods
a beverage of fruit juice and pulp <apricot nectar>

a sweet liquid that is secreted by the nectaries of a plant and is the chief raw material of honey
— nec·tar·ous \-t(ə-)rəs\ adjective


mmmmmmmm I think this nectar stuff is getting to much positive press
I'll stick with the beer

Yes, I did specify draught beer.
I have to concur that Belgian bottled beer is the best stuff in bottles but I prefer the lack or gas in a good draught.
People who were brought up in less fortunate beer environments often continue to prefer the beer they were weaned on. Some of them later in life progress to enjoying better beers but many go thruugh life never having tasted a good beer. This is true of many Americans I have met. One can only offer such persons our deepest sympathy.
We are very fortunate to be living in an era when the variety and quality of beer has reached such heights,

It's Guinness so the top bit is the head. You like a little head don't you?

I'm cetainly no expert and have not drunk beer from too many countries, but I must admit to enjoying some of the German brews I've had over the years !! Still have not tried Beer Lao, a must do next month
