What countries have the best beer?

Don't bother.
USA being the best will always cause buttblasted hipsters to say otherwise. It causes them literal anguish to know the USA has the most diverse and well rounded craft brews

>most diverse and well rounded craft brews

you're throwing the word hipster out there, then you dribble out this shit? Are you that bereft of self-awareness?

Hahaaha, you raging faggot
Onviously there is only one correct answer
1. Belgium
2. germany
3. the rest of the world

if you don't limit yourself to 1. and 2. you should an hero. Today.

Like what?

Molson?

Belgium, Czech Republic, Poland, Germany
No particular order

Belgium = USA > Germany

Depends on what type of beer you prefer, obviously. If you're into wheat beers or lagers, Germany is probably #1. If you prefer amber ales or (God forbid) lambics, it's Belgium. If you prefer dark ales, it's hard to beat Britain..

>inb4 Ausfags shitpost the thread up with their toilet lagers.

The presumptions that:

A) that's all we produce
B) you want to be drinking some IIPA hop-bomb on a 40°C day
C) anyone cares about your opinion

makes me presume you're a deadshit shut-in whose Worldview extends as far as the local dirt farm.

>Implying Ausfailia produces anything but toilet lager

Oh sorry yeah I forgot, there's VB. Which is what you flush the toilet out with after you've poured the lager down it.

Post delicious Australian beer, pls.

Im an Ausfag and after time abroad, even I admit most of our beer is shit.
Less common brews seem to be the way to go.
I think too many Aussies get hurt feelings because foreigners dislike our beer and thus form allegiance to companies they know rather than enjoy.
Take Bundaberg Rum for example.
Tastes like ass but the people that love it most will never call it Bundaberg Rum.
Bundy's.

Coopers
Vale Ale
Wheatsheaf Brewing Corp

off the top of my head within a 50km radius of me, these range of Macros to less than 100L runs.

Have you tried any Matilda Bay products?

Plenty, nothing to write home about, owned by SAB MIller; haven't been a craft brewery in over 20 years.

Duly noted. Cheers beer user.

Dutchfag here.

1. Czech Republic
2. Belgium
3. Netherlands
4. Germany
5. Great Britain (I rarely drink ales)

>Name in French is "The end of the world"
>It's in Quebec

Seems about right.

i'd swap netherlands and GB, but thats cos i'm very partial to a nice ale

#1 is USA
Sure there's a lot of IPAs but it's the most popular style so what do you expect.
Innovation>Making the same beer for hundreds of years. Sorry guys.

Adelaide, nice.

Why are you trying to get involved with something you obviously know nothing about? Do you lack friends or attention?

>no Czech Republic

OP thinks his ass is an elbow

>uses generic buzz words to describe the beer output of a country of 300 million people

I think the user may have a point fampai.

1. Belgium
2. Germany
3. USA

What the fuck?

1. Ohio
2. The rest of the USA
3. Canada

Germany is meme tier
>muh reinheitsgebot
An excuse for bland styles that Americans do better than them. Goses, Schwarzbiers, Hefeweizens, everything.

1. USA Belgium tie
2. Germany
3. Czech
4. no one cares. If you're not drinking the above you aren't doing it right

Cats piss

Belgium
Germany
Wisconsin ( altho the rest of the U.S. is beginning to micro-brew/craft-brew too and will catch up to us )
Canada

>altho the rest of the U.S. is beginning to micro-brew/craft-brew
I can't even imagine how small your world is.

>America
>Best Beer

Hahahahahahahahahahaha

I'm inclined to say Canada for patriotic reasons but I'm smart enough to know that Germany definitely has the best.

1.Germany
2.Canada
3.Belgium
4.UK
5.USA

And the US only makes that list because of the sheer volume. Make enough, something has to be good.

I can't figure out why Canada keeps showing up on lists. I'm pretty close to the border and I havnt heard shit about these amazing Canadian beers

American here, I second this. That being said US is producing goat micros. Euro domination is no longer a reality.

CZECH REPUBLIC HAS THE BEST BEER, YOU FUCKING FAGGOTS

Belgian and Czech beers are the best, only one that comes remotely close is usa, but that's thanks to sheer amount of microbrewing going on.

get fucked UK and Germany, your beer is pisswater i wouldn't even feed my dog

england
england
england
england
everyone else

-an American

Scotland and the USA personally.

Not a fan of German / Belgian / Czech stuff at all.

>Not a fan of German / Belgian / Czech stuff at all
bitch beer countries

...

1.Belgium
2. England
3. Germany
4.Czech Rep.
5.???

No USA or Canada . . .here are my reasons, American beer is rubbish, no doubt about it . . .but what about Muh Micro Breweries? . . To be honest you could say the same about ANY countries independent brewers, America does not have the monopoly on those.

Canadian . . .I have never tried any, so I can't comment.

I do drink a variety of Beers, so I'm not going to limit myself to those countries that product good Lagers (Germany and Czech Rep) so I have marked them lower.

Belgium does a good range of Beers, hence the top spot and Britain next purely because they brew great Bitters and Ales but don't produce any Lagers.

Everyone is forgetting France...

Listen here, we can't even get real beer in America, just watery nearbeer

France do a few good beers, mainly Lagers though, I didn't forget them but I don't think they had enough variation.

They have pride in other produce, Wines, Ciders and food in general.

They've really gone down the shitter the last year or two, also, you're wrong. They've never been as good as the original trappist monasteries.

In terms of quality beer, it's:

* Belgium
* Germany

* US, Nederland, and England

* Some other rando first world countries

* everyone else

You get medals if you submit your beer enough times, beer medals don't mean fucking shit.

>canada
>CANADA
wut

Most micro breweries are trash.

99% of micro don't know how to brew beer the proper way. They're still just using homebrewing techniques. Most don't use loq oxygen brewing, spunding ( fermentation under pressure), flotation tanks, step mashing, etc. They do single step infusion mashing in a fashion so lazy that their beer lacks character unless they dry hop the shit out of it.

Rather a harsh critique user.

It's the truth.

"craft brews"

>Canada #2
>Canada anywhere near the top 5
Apex lel. Canada makes some solid beer but suggesting it belongs near the top of the world rankings is just ridiculous.

>muh Unibroue
Inferior Trappist knockoff garbage. Belgian breweries outclass Unibroue in every regard. Just like American craft breweries outclass Canadian ones.

This. People buy it because it has hipster cred (you had the latest beer from -brewery-? You probably never heard of it, it's brewed in some guy's shed and only sold to people he knows, and he only makes 8 bottles a year) or because it has the latest meme flavor (here bro you gotta try this quintuple hopped bourbon barrel aged sriracha bacon imperial stout)

canadafag here, i really don't think they belong on that list, let alone #2.

>9%
>750ml
Do they measure the % differently in Canada than the UK? Because that seems awfully potent for that volume.

>Canada

laughing out loud.

I thought spunding was a carbonation technique? That said, pressure from even cylindroconicals is detrimental to ferment characteristics in ale yeasts.

I also thought that flotation was generally done with compressed air and so wouldn't necessarily be compatible with low oxygen brewing. Kettle finings also do a good job of removing cold break.

As for step mashing, that is something that shows up the difference between continental lagers and those from elsewhere, though there are speciality malts available that mitigate this. I don't think it has relevance to ale brewing using well modified pale ale malts as a base. Single infusion is by no means a home brewing method, but the British method. I think this is all adding up to a fairly one-eyed Germanic opinion on the right way to brew beer.

Make #2 Germany and #3 the Netherlands and you might be alright. Scrap Canada alltogether and make #4 Czech Republic

Does UK use abv or abw?

I think it's by volume.

USA and Belgium being one and two in that order is pretty much indisputable at this point. UK is probably three but there is a huge gap after Belgium

That size isn't meant as a single serving but yes, it's twice as strong as a typical beer.

Twice as strong by alcohol measurement, but in my experience will put you on your arse about 4 times faster. Even going from 4.5% to 6% is a hefty, noticeable jump boozewise.

Not from there but - San diego is the best beer city in the world

Beer taste like piss...I imagine

What gets better about it?

Nothing can get better if you haven't started. Why even ask? Taste is subjective and beers come in a wide variety.

everyone look at this loser. LOOK AT HIM.

1. Ireland
2. Belgium
3. Germany
4. UK
POWER GAP
5. Poland
POWER GAP
6. USA

Why reply twice? He's right and this is a legitimate and startlingly obvious same-fag.

>The Wheaty
Fuck ye cunt, most people just base their knowledge of our beer off VB, XXXX and Carlton Draught. Arguable the three worst beers in the country.

Also Coopers Sparkling Ale is one of the best beers in existence

Bacon culture needs to die, fucking hipsters and their bacon are almost as bad as hipsters and their beards. A desperate attempt at some nebulous view of manhood inspired mainly by Ron Swanson.

I'm a long time Veeky Forums poster and a longer time "channer", I'm going to be honest with you. I find bacon revolting. I used to love it, used to put it on everything, used to post about it on /b/, those were the days.

Then we noticed other people liked it too. It had to stop. Those faggots on Epic Meal Time were the final straw, though they were kinda funny before they got noticed by everyone else. Now I see bacon and I am DISGUSTED. I think of Gaia I think of Reddit, tumblr, youtuber egofaggots, all those disgusting people that probably get in a big circlejerk and pretend to love bacon because it's so cool now. I'm not sure because I NEVER go to reddit or any of those other places (the thought of them liking bacon makes me retch) but I'm certain that's what is going on.

I pick it out of salads, I pick it out of burgers, I fuck it off from anything. Bacon is for poser gaia shitters. Bacon is dead.

Didn't think I'd see anyone blame gaia for shit again.

>>#2
>>canada

/thread

Yeah the gaia hate makes me like 90% sure he's sarcastically parodying the use of hipster as a vapid buzzword.

Move Canada to five and bump everything up.

Also, Denmark is in contention.

No it doesn't.

This. Having somewhat-better-than-awful macro isn't all it takes to be the best.

hahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahah

>classic mainstays
What does that mean, and why do I care?

Germany is no.1 for copying other nation's beer styles.
USA no.1 for faddish beers no one will be drinking in 10 years.

I actually think this is the correct answer.

Friendly reminder, to everyone forgetting the Netherlands on their lists, that the following breweries are in the Netherlands:
Zundert
La Trappe
De Molen
Emelisse
't IJ

lamo

how about all the trappist breweries

>wisconsin
>leads the way in craft beer
>other states may catch up!

My sides.

When Germany can figure out how to make a real stout, sour, or abbey-style, I'll put them first.

German beer = bok, white, pills bok, white, pills bok, white, pills.

About as diverse as a nsdap rally.

Berliner Wiesse is sour f a m

*Weisse

Almost everything you just said is centered around lager brewing.

Since ales are almost completely superior, not sure of the relevance.

It's a tripel. Of course it's strong.

Are you unfamiliar with belgian-style beer? You're missing out.
