Weekly Beer Focus - Beer Geek Challenge! ANYTHING but U.S, Germany, England or Belgium (8/12 - 8/28)

[Brian_G_r_a_f_s_t_r_o_m]

Hopefully this will get us all drinking different stuff than normal.

As an optional challenge: don’t drink any beers you’ve had for other Weekly Beer Focus weeks, and/or don’t drink any beers you’ve previously tasted.

Lots of good stuff is still game, folks: Scotland, Ireland, Czech Republic, Poland, Italy, Spain, France, Norway, Denmark … and the list goes on.

I was thinking maybe start this weekend and run it for two+ weeks, to encompass 3 weekends.

Germany?

Canada is still good right?

I’m not sure Canadian beer has ever been good, but yeah, it’s game for this tasting … as is Mexico.

Poland?

Oh and, to your “Canadian beer sucks” comment…I counter with just a couple of options:

Just because they won’t strip the enamel from your teeth, doesn’t mean they aren’t good.

Brazil? (Roberto has to be right about something at some point, right?)

+1 I think Brian is losing it.

[Joe_Hauck]

I guess I’ll have to bite the bullet and pay the ridiculous price for a couple of these Italian beers that I’ve been seeing around.

OK, admittedly, I forgot about Unibroue (although none have ever been to my liking, I’m still able to objectivley realize they are, indeed, good beers). I don’t recognize the second lineup. When I think Canadian beer, my thoughts immediately go to Labatt and Moosehead. (drank a lot of Labatt in college — it was our “nice beer” for awhile — until I found microbrews.)

Oh yeah, I forgot:

[Joe_Hauck]

The second lineup is Dieu Du Ciel- Peche Mortel is one of my faves.

[Joe_Hauck]

Italy?

[Brian_G_r_a_f_s_t_r_o_m]

@Joe Hauck

Italy?

Bzzzz! Nope.

[Jorge_Henriquez]

Czech Republic then. My first guess.

[Joe_Hauck]

China? or somewhere else in Asia then.

[Josh_Beck]

I would guess the by volume leader, worldwide, would have to be the USA or China?
