you pay for quality in beer
When I was in Australia I had a delicious beer called XXXX (fourex) Gold. Try it if yer evah daon undah.
Anything has to be better than VB....
I recommend Red Horse to any of you that make it to the Philippines. That stuff is amazingly smooth and strong.
Beer Lao Dam - Black beer from Vientien, Laos is the best in SE Asia. About $1 per bottle. Load up at the duty free by the Mehkong bridges.
Plus, they have these great stickers with their symbol, a black panther with LBC Laos Beer Company, underneath it, so you can bring them back to Long Beach City and say things like 'dedicated to the LBC'.
Bud Lite... they still make that shit? I'd rather drink runoff from Fukushima. If a man can't discern what a good tasting beer is, there isn't ANY hope for him. 'Merica... where fake men drink fake beer.
I only drink when the S&P is green.
Karlovacko was a good one in Croatia. Like Heineken, but smoother. Price was right too.
Nice watching the waves at Buza Bar, Dubrovnik. Mute song if needed.

To my eye, and taste buds, if I can see through a glass of beer, I ain't drinkin it.
Opaque, so dark I cannot see out the other side. Guinness Extra Stout. ;-)
Most all Amerikan beer looks like someone whizzed in a glass. Spud's Suds.
Well VB is better than that Fosters shit that all foreigners think Aussies love, yet is considered so bad here the liquor stores stopped stocking it 20 years ago. Red Horse, lovely drop at 7% but reports of liver/kidney damage from those drinking too much because of the polluted waters they use to produce it. My bro-in-law was in charge of the San Miguel afternoon shift and walked me through the plant one evening. In my opinion he had the best job in the world... testing the product off the line. He quit and was paid out 5 years before retirement age. Crazy!!
Samuel Smith Chocolate Stout.
Yum.
and you pay for Lack of quality the next morning. I've never had a bad hangover from drinking Dark, Warm, German Girls (St Pauli)
Countries with the cheapest beers above lists...
Saudi Arabia at $0.70 - WTF?
The list is incomplete. I know several places I can get a bottle for less than $.50.
I am an alcoholic, and proud.
I can buy a case of beer for $13.99 and drink at home with family and friends for $0.58 a beer. Conversation and food with friends and family... priceless. Everyone should try it.
Cheap domestic beers come in at a hefty price when you are the in the Antilles
Are you talking about beer or pussy juice?
It is just cheap dishwater labeled beer as most so called German beers are today unless they are directly imported from Germany. I stick with Warsteiner for now. Germany has not yet gone to GMO syrup in brewing.
They Heinekein sold in the US now days is just cheap sugar water with hops, nothing like what is sold in Europe.
It is all pretty sketchy these days, mostly I drink champagne and once in awhile Italian wine but be aware the mafia dumped a lot of nuclear waster in certain areas of Italy.
Shite. Wouldn't even call it beer. Tastes like arse that's why Queenslanders drink it.
Three Floyds Gumballhead... amazing wheat beer. Buy it.
Deschutes Hop Henge. amazing-er IPA. like drinking a piece of sweetbread drenched in cascade hops.
I'm gonna try a bottle just based on your description. Sounds fantastic.
Best-selling beer brand =/= good beer
That statistic jumped out at me too. But at the same time not at all surprising.
Its all irrelevant. Trust me when i say wine will be making a comeback. I don't look forward to this, but the wheels of industry are about gone. When beer is gone, u had beter know the constituition
I found that last sentence puzzling. But You do Need Another Beer.
I'm a wine-drinker myself. Beer = liquid 'bread' (you might even call it 'wonder bread').
Unfortunately, drinking it packs on the lbs., just like any bread.
Work it off first by accomplishing a few things in the hot sun. Then take a seat in the shade and enjoy a cold glass of beer.
Pabst Blue Ribbon!
"Pabst Blue Ribbon!"? Do you mean PBR?
coors-light and bud-light shouldn't be called "beer" ... they are more like watered down piss.
Buffalo piss, to be precise.
Tended at a Brewery that only served the beer they brewed. People would ask for the closest thing to [insert American piss beer] and we would hand them a glass of ice water.
"Watered down piss"
Lol
Live in Utah - 3.2%, then you have the right to talk bout 'watered down piss'
3.2% alcohol content? What brand is that?
Mormon Lite?
Unless bought at a state liqour store (25% price increase) it's 3.2%
all bars, stores, restaurants 3.2%
Brewery's 4% (Wasatsh, Bonniville, Parkcity)
Anybody who will drink American beer will surely drink piss and not know the difference.
Come on mick. We're not all on the short bus. As there was before Prohibition, there's a lot of small brewries that do a nice job. The big corporate stuff you are right if you're talking about that.
I missed the greatest variety of top quality beers: Belgium.
Belgium is right civilized. I did some medical tourism for an operation in Belgium and you could get a wide variety of Belgian beers delivered to your bed in the hospital!
and Belgium has the best chocolate and best frites and moules to go along with the best beer!
trappist monks know how to make some good beer.
mmmm.....Orval.
My Top 5 Belgian Trappist beers :
1) Westmalle Triple
2) Westvleteren Double
3) Orval
4) Rochefort 8
5) Chilmay Triple (white)
That's beer !
You, Sir, are a proper connoisseur. I salute you.
Trappist's can't speak, can't have sex, beer is the only vice left...
Belgium beer is trash
You can't just say that...youve got to follow up with 1) Why? or 2) what's better?
What's yer poison Dub? Warm Irish Ale?
I was in Londonium once and tried a warm beer....ugh! ;-)
ORI - you just came to mind when I looked at the word conscience.
Con science?? What do you make of that conjunction for such an integral part of our being?
Kinda likin' Founders "Dirty Bastard" Porter lately. $11 a six. Worth every penny. 8-1/2% too.
Gods Nectar in a bottle.
Grand Rapids MI has produced nothing finer than that brewery. Oatmeal Breakfast Stout is in my top 10 beers of all time.
I need another beer: Its all irrelevant. Trust me when i say wine will be making a comeback. I don't look forward to this, but the wheels of industry are about gone. When beer is gone, u had beter know the constituition.
You can still find some decent red wine for $13 a (large) bottle...ya gotta slog through a lot of shit though.
Yep.
Yellowtail Shiraz-Grenache.
5 litres of red in a box from S. Africa for under 30 bucks. Truth is, its not bad.
Budweiser, the great Flemish rice beer.
Right on time. New Song.
GIVE ME A BEER

Upvoted ... thanks for posting!
I dont care where mine comes from as long as its Spoetzl Brewery Shiner Texas. family owned since 1909......BUUURRRRP
Don't ever drink something called Natty Daddy. My God that shit is like battery acid. You can hear your stomach cry. I couldn't finish it, but if I had, it probably would have started eating away at my bridgework.
i can't imagine how ppl explain the fact that they're so productive while drinking more beers than all but 2 other countries. beer = productivity, despite what the stats dept might say.
Ethiopia has four popular beers. I found Meta particularly pleasent.
Erdinger (dark) from Germay is probably the best I have ever tasted. Its exceptional
Spaten Optimator
On tap is best if you can find it.
Bottle poured hard into a frozen glass big enough to contain the fuzz before it melts away is nearly as good.
How can Australians afford to spend the most money on beer in the world?
Because we are an extremely wealthy country. I live in an oasis surrounded by public housing. There's a guy here who has appropriated a disability scooter (paid for by the taxpayer) but he doesn't have any problems walking. He's in his 20s and is just too lazy to walk. It's not even his scooter.
But he uses the scooter to do beer runs every day or two. His entire existence is funded by the taxpayer and he can still afford to spend copious amounts of money on beer. Granted, he doesn't eat much, but that's what the local soup kitchen is for. Luckily for him, the soup kitchen and the bottleshop are within the range of the disability scooter.
Sometimes he does a ride share on the disability scooter. One sits with his legs on either side of the steering column, while the other is on the seat driving the thing. Often, the guy sitting down the bottom is drinking beer as they cruise down to the soup kitchen.
Brilliant. His leg muscles will atrophy and he will be wearing adult diapers before he is forty. Yeah, he has the system wired all right.
But what a way to go!
@mrpxsytin. It's bizarre, you could be writing about the UK. What is it about these Anglo countries that they seem to want to destroy themselves? I live in the boondocks in Spain and have never seen a mobility scooter or a fat person. And after a year, even the genuinely-trying to find work get their dole chopped off. They can starve on the streets for all the state cares.
This article doesn't make it clear whether they are talking about a beer from a supermarket or bar. In my part of Spain a litre bottle of Cruz Campo is about €1 in a store, and a 330 ml bottle in a bar is €1.50. In the bar you always get a free tapas thrown in - a couple of slices of ham or something.
Don't worry, Abbott and co are about to fix the likes of this guy freeloading on the disabilty pension. A friend of a friend was recently bragging about how him and his housemate (both alcoholics) now survive on Social Security payments. One is supposedy so drunk he cannot look after himself so he gets the Disability Pension. The other is a little better in that he is capable of going down the road to get the daily casks of wine to keep themselves topped up, so he is now on a Carer's Pension looking after his mate.
What's my favorite beer? My next one!
I drink two kinds of beer. Sam Adams, and free.
the best beer is the cold one in my hands...
Anything by Saranac. All of the beers in their Summer Sampler are tasty business.

An ice cold Presidente on a warm sandy beach has always treated me well ...
Shit, I'm tempted to brew my own. A pale ale ish special something or other. As I type this I think ill do it any way, I got a room I don't even walk in with a train set in it. Not dick, just well I can't help it. It's like the astrodome in here. My hooptie broke down and the tow guy fucked my ignition up, I hate attorneys always have. Beer will go nicely with shit end of the stick situations like this, at least I got a loaner. I could have put that pos paper to a new scope Or ill take a 1911 a sexy one, a monte burns freak out shopping spree Olmec Indian head one
Damn you June!!!!!!

Beer.
Don't get me going...
Made my first batch back in 1972, when it was still illegal to brew your own.
Ugly, but drinkable (and cheap!).
Best I ever made was a Pilsner from raw Maple Sap, dry, but oh so fruity.
Lost the time to make it.
Now I stick with Lasgunitas (Maximus), Arrogant Bastard, and McNeils Special Bitter.
So much beer, so little time.
Dogfish Head; Palo Santo Marron
+1 on dogfish head 90 min IPA.
haven't seen heady topper mentioned yet. must be tasted to be understood. creamy with hop rockets in four or five layers and the cleanest smoothest finish evah.
i've had beer in germany, finland, amsterdam, all over the us, japan, and canada back when brador was pure 6.2 rocket fuel, and those two, dogfish and heady are at the top of my heap.
.dup
China's beer is also <3.2 but it is dirt cheap so peeps drink a lot of it. No buzz. Can't even call it beer like you would not call their 'milk' milk.
Drink the Baijo in China, wash it down with the beer. No water, you don't want the water.
Beer is an unattractive woman's best friend and indeed, in the best of circumstances, it allows her to perform, perhaps, her extraordinary charms that may put her on a pedestal...
Beer Lao, good lager. $.25 a bottle when I was there in 2000. San Miguel, Phillipines, excellent lager also $.25/bottle when I was on Okinawa. Let's not forget Japan ... just had a nice Sapporo, dry lager, with sushi.
I quit making beer years ago, I doubled the sugar thinking it would double the alcohol, but bottles began exploding in the kitchen and the old lady was not too happy. There were glass and suds on the ceiling.
When I was a kid, my dad used to make his own in the basement. One night, an entire case of it went off pretty much all at aonce. Woke the entire family upstairs. Glass and beer all over the cement floor in the basement. ;-)
Guess he went crazy with the sugar.
Beer has corn syrup in it. Corn syrup is GMO. GMO foods are covered in Monsanto's roundup ready poison. Don't drink non organic beer! Your being poisoned. Wake up!
http://youtu.be/oqB4L-V67iM
my beer drinking friend from some years ago, made this claim as well, he insisted he was allegeric to corn syrup, or rather it would set off his hypoglycemia. so he only drank Miller Lite?? he insisted that he could manage a twelve pack of ML with no hangover, or ill effects. but you know alcoholics make up the strangest rationale for their drinking habits
Miller light is only 4.2%. Depending on the time duration, the food intake, his weight and standard health, that is not that mucsh.
(burp)
I'm in Taiwan now where they turn up their noses at both China and Taiwan beers. (They consider everything made in China to be low in quality) But these people drink a lot of Budweiser, so what do they know?
i'm fond of Steel Reserve 211, although i am well aware it is a favorite of the homeless. the cone headed beer drinker prefers to drink a case of miller lite. i really dont understand that. i like drinking beer but i don't treat it like a job or something.
Beer has corn syrup in it. Corn syrup is GMO. GMO foods are covered in Monsanto's roundup ready poison. Don't drink non organic beer! Your being poisoned. Wake up!
Ocean 22 that is a big 10-4. I love Guiness black Irish beer, but they refuse to acknowledge if they use GMO corn syrup. I quit drinking it.
I mirrowed this one once, but many of my posts are scrubbed off the net.

In Germany they have purity laws, no not racial purity, but beer Purity. The Laws are 0ver 300 years old.
In Germany the individual states got bans on Fracking due to the fact that water purity for beer over ruled the fracking companies.
Wow, you just demolished my whole career and filthy habit with that link!
Thanks, tho. I'm going to stick with brandy until you furnish me a link that tells me that it is toxic as well.
Don't rush or anything.
I really like Newcastle and Hofbrauhaus.
Mike's Hard Lemonade, Barell Trolley and Wisconsin beers.
we know what beer goggles are, but what is beer Google, when you make an online search and the information just falls into your lap? and none of the truth has been scrubbed? but is suppose Google beer glasses will be coming soon. hyperreality to approximate the buzz of a couple good brews
I quit drinking a few years ago. Every now and then I miss it -- like right now.
Speaking as a Canadian, I'm surprised as hell that we're not on the list for most expensive countries to have a beer.
Go to any bar in Downtown Toronto and a pint of Bud Light will set you back $6. Go to a peeler-bar and it's $9.50 for a Budwieser.
24-case of beer is ridiculous here. Average cost of a 2-4 is something like $42. It's the big reason why I'll cross over to Lewiston, NY and pick up a 2-4 at Topps or Wegmans for $19 when it's on sale. Sickening really when you think about how much tax we pay up here. Fuck I hate socialism. Fucking sucks!!!!!!!!!!
Personally, I like drinking Czech beer (on account of my Czech heritage). Favorite is "Czechvar" which is actually the true Budwieser (look it up).
Yes it is expensive in those bars but just think of the rocket scientists you are able to mix with:)
Yep I would like to do my 3 year thesis on how beer effects Global warming, I need $350,000 and will need a good travel expense account.
The true Budweiser is actually German not Czech. That´s why it´s called Budweiser.
As an australian, those prices look about right - downtown that is. Go to a decades forgotten bowls club and you might get a pint of your fave for 5. Still cheaper to pay $35-50 for 24 of whatever. My favorite is Cooper's Pale Ale, about 42 a case.
You know what the unfortunate difference is? Wages. Our minimum wage makes that (the cheaper version) a viable expense, including savings. Most people that drink in the city, work in the city and get paid enough to drink in the city. The rest of us have watering holes that cater to our budget. I probably spend more than the average in a year, certainly on better beer than you'd find in the rest of the 'Priciest Beers' list.
Also, we're #2 for bottles/pp. Wages dude. That and mining is why Australia is where it is economically.
Any beer is good beer, if it be cold beer on a hot day and your mouth be dry
The graphics made me smile. Showing the Coliseum in Rome and linking it to Romanians.
Here is a hint Rome is a city in Italy, Romania is a country in Eastern Europe.
In Rome you get an execellent Expresso In Romania you get so-so beer
Another record for Australia, most spent on beer worldwide..were number one! I'd cheer but I'm a bit pissed at the moment.
Switzerland is never included on these things as they would always win?!
I paid $6 for a 2.5dl beer (plus an extra $2 deposit on the plastic glass) a coupla nights ago at a town festival. Usually in a bar it is $5 a beer, $10 a pint. Bottles, about $7 or $8 (which is why I brew my own Burton style IPA)
Cheers!
