It's a shame that big beer countries like Belgium and USA don't have a rally. But if Neuville wins the title, I'll toast that with a trappist ale.

Pint of bitter for Wales, a baltic porter for Poland, some sahti for Finland (although that might get dangerous). And don't get me started on Germany!
I know

Here our beer market is transforming pretty quickly. In the past it was only Pilsner type beer but now there are dozens of small breweries growing every year preparing all sort of stuff one can imagine and it's pretty popular among the people. Here in Prague pubs with 10 and more taps are common thing. And I like it too. It brings way more variety and quality.

Still I plan to bring a lot of beer stuff from Ypres... as usually

Just like in many other countries the most common stuff isn't of high quality but they have a lot of way better beers in USA than the water...

By the way sadly original Czech Budweiser (Budweiser = of Budějovice in German language) isn't very good beer either. At least I don't like it. But it's same with most of the big brands here such as Staropramen or Gambrinus. Pilsner Urquel is the only of the big ones which I like but not from a can! There is really a massive difference between Pilsner Urquel from steel tank and from can (bottle is better than can but worse than from keg and the way best is from tank).

By the way is this Czech speciality or are restaurants anywhere else also using large steel tanks for beer instead of kegs? I don't say it's everywhere but at least pretty common among Pilsner Urquel restaurants in CZ.
