A few weeks ago I finally finished off the rest of the Hobgoblin Ale and the Boddington's Stout I had been putting off drinking. I only drink one beer every other night, so I usually have plenty around.

In Europe, we have great beers from Northern Europe (I especially appreciate those from Netherlands and Belgium).When I was in Cancun I drank a good Mexican beer, if I remember correctly its name was Modelo. It was quite similar to the Belgian Chimay, which is one of my favorites.

Unfortunately I don't really drink foreign beers because of the cost involved, and most American beers to put it bluntly aren't worth the time to spit in.

My favorite beer is probably "Elephant Beer". Man, three or four of those, and you're hammered. As for American beers, what about some of the Sam Adams varietals? My favorite is the "Old Fezziwig Ale".

Just picked up a six of Spring Ale...kinda like a Belgian Wheat. I used to buy the Scotch Ale and Double Bock quite often but cant get it around here anymore. I bought a bottle of the Triple Bock when it came out. Frankly it tasted like an alcohol infused fruit syrup. And the $5 price tag for one bottle was enough of a reason not to buy it again.I have to agree with you on that. Sam's Winter Lager is the one I like the best. It's just about the only thing I like about winter...

King, did you try World Market? I'm sureyou've got one up there in Plano, they often have some pretty eclectic varities of foreign beers.

If I can brave the unrestrained foliage and 'colourful' locals of the countryside I might give it a go. oh, if you (or anyone else) is thinking of drinking in London, easily the best online guide is: Pub guide to London pubs and other pubs in the UK. | Fancyapint?enjoy.
