It's always difficult to get a good pint of bitter on tap (I never touch the canned or bottled stuff ) around here, and it's often served too cold. I do enjoy it when I can get it though .

I'd take cider over beer any day, especially good quality stuff from Somerset or France

I also don't much enjoy standing around in one shoe because the proprietor makes you surrender it when you buy beer in a stirrup glass. Particularly Kwak is notorious for this.
No. Beer should be a simple thing. There is more to be said about waiting for 4 minutes for a Guinness to settle (or up to 7 minutes for some German dunkels) than having standing in a wet sock.The Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over. All Hail Palpatine!

I may add that if you are based outside of Belgium then the Belgian beers you are most likely to find in your local store would be Leffe, Chimay and Duvel. They are the most mainstream types of niche beers or the most niche types of mainstream beers. In any case they are very good even if, as Rollo points out correctly, they do not necessarily travel well. I'd take a bottle of Chimay over any of our local types no matter how fresh they would be.Llibertat

A poem by Flann O'Brien. Guinness is a wonderful beer, but they've messed around with it too much, making it cold to get people to drink it in the Summer etc.
Those moments when a Guinness is just absolutely the right drink for the mood you're in are harder to get these days. But for me, there is the odd day when nothing else will do.

Guinness is amazing. And the best thing is that I can drink gallons of it without getting a headache the next morning.

sort of makes sense to me, last time I drank Guinnes it tasted like crap.
My all time favourite is the Bock type beer that Plevna in Tampere makes and sells.C'est la vie ja taksi tuo.
