(This might have been a topic before, but I can't find it now. So humour me) I vote for Steamwhistle. Brewed in Toronto. -------------------- My most recent blog: A trip to Toronto that turned into a trip to Niagara

However, who could pass up sampling a Victorian PISS Weak beer (and I am not talking about VB) http://www.australianbeers.com/ -------------------- If you really look like your passport photo, you need the holiday!

I'll name 3: Chang from Thailand (personal reasons) Budvar Czech Republic- totally awesome anywhere in world, However on draft in Prague Pilsner Urquell is better but doesn't travel well. Samuel Adams, Boston USA- an excellent darker beer even manages to kick Leffe's ass I'm opening a beer bar shortly and it will feature 50+ beers, so anymore suggestions will be appreciated. BTW only chance i've had to try beer Lao I wasn't impressed- however it wasn't in Laos so I reserve judgment until I try iy in it's true environment. -------------------- Would be life traveler.

Wanderer Group: Members Posts: 15 Joined: 23-November 08 Member No.: 260596 Nominate me as a Local Expert	Everest Beer from Nepal. Partly for the fond memories I've had over it, partly for the taste, partly for the price :-p I've tried all of the big SE Asian brews, a good chunk of the USA's, and some of Europe's... Nothing could beat Everest for beer-thirst-quenching powers. Bintang, Boddington, and Alaskan are other favs. :-) Beer Lao was smooth but too watered down for my wheaty tastes. -------------------- My Nepal volunteering & SE Asia backpacking blog!

Especially Czech dark beers which are sweet instead of bitter like German dark beers. After that, I love Radlers, which is a mixture of light beer and lemonade or lemon soda that you'll find in Bavaria.
