Although cider is my favourate tipple, the local brewery which is 12 miles away (Brains brewery Cardiff S.Wales) brew's many beers. One of the local's (and my) choice is Brains S A. Not that strong as beers go ans the S A stands for special ale but everybody sais it stands for "skull attack" as it does funny things to head. Here's the link

Sarah,

That is not a beer that I have seen in Aus but one exceptional Canadian beer that we do get here is Trois Pistoles which is brewed by Unibroue. This is a dark Belgian style beer that is 9% and comes in large bottles so I had better be carefull with this one.

I have a bottle at home that I will open one afternoon after the building and during the clear up. That way the bricks will be laid straight.

Re: Beers of the World

Can you get Swiss beer? Great idea by the way!

This is probably the most well-known (i.e. the one you'd most likely to actually get hold of):
Produkte - Original | Feldschl?sschen

But this ones my favourite - from a small local brewery:

Let me know if you do get hold of a Swiss beer... I'd be really pleased.

Re: Beers of the World

Thanks for the recomendations.

For my plan to drink a beer from every country where someone has build a pizza oven I started on American beers. These are not too common in Aus apart from the mass produced beers the following beers. There were only beers from 3 breweries available and this was the selection I chose.

Flying dog IPA from Frederick, Maryland
Sameul Adams Lager from Boston
Rouge Ale from Newport, Oregon.

To celebrate the keystone placing yesterday I opened the lager and the IPA and the IPA was especially nice.

Re: Beers of the World

Although we have a small local micro-brewery that creates a passable brew, I second Drake's recommendation of Black Butte Porter as one of my favorite beers; although Alaskan Amber runs a close second, at least for quanity consumed. Now if only Costco sold Black Butte Porter. But as for keeping all the empties...that's more space than I would care to commit.

To quote Ben Franklin: "Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy."

Bests,

Re: Beers of the World

I think one of my favorite Belgian beers is Urthel Hop-It, if you can find it. The one that I had was a 2003 and I drank it earlier this year. Fantastic stuff. I also had a bottle from Lithuania called Žaibo Extra Stout Beer. Not a stout. Just strong and good. Other than that, I'll second that Bell's Two-Hearted is great, as is their Oberon. I also like Three Floyd's Robert The Bruce from Indiana. Get your hands on some Lagunitas beer, if you can. Any of it is good.

Re: Beers of the World

When I started building by WFO several months ago I kept the empty beer bottles that were cosumed during the build so that I could get an accurate record of "How many beers does it take to make a WFO?"

So, How many?

As for beers, have you tried the Mallee Bull from Mildura brewing, and though I hate to say it, this brewery would have to be my favorite producer at the moment ( Bridge Road Brewers Beechworth - Brewery )...I know, I know he's a Victorian, still it's bloody good beer.

Hey Paul,

You might be cutting yourself short, why not do every county (more beers) I live in the hill of northern California and brew my own home brew. Our local brewery Sierra Nevada, Chico California, they have a good pale ale which is sold world wide

Re: Beers of the World

Mmmmm Deschutes Black Butte porter is one of my favorites!

Re: Beers of the World

Here in Bend Oregon, a town of about 80,000, we have on the order of 7 micro breweries. All produce fine beers (maybe it's the water?)

The largest is Deschutes Brewery with a long list of fine beers, and as they are the largest with the largest distribution, and most likely to be available outside the immediate area...

Re: Beers of the World

I second the recommendation of Bell's from Kalamazoo! They have a great range of styles, and my favorite (from them) is Two-Hearted Ale. It has so many hops it's almost ridiculous, but it's not pasteurized, and likely not to be exported.

My build continues to rely on two beers: One of them is Guinness (I can't help myself). But as an Ami (as my German girlfriend calls me), I have to endorse the best hedonistic American beer of all: Rogue Brutal Bitter from Newport, Oregon. It practically lays bricks for you!

If you can't get it I'll try to send some your way.
Cheers,
Eric
