Just back from Portland, microbrewery heaven especially if you love your pale ales and I do...

Interesting i guess because famous for the beer fest, Prague would have the cheapest of that list? & Dublin the least

Have to agree with the comments Belgium is the top beer country

now, you see, everyone says it is just because of the Bierfest, but Munich has at least 7 different breweries within the city limits, and not to mention the micro breweries in the towns on the outskirts of the city!!

Agree, plenty of tasty and strong beers in the 7% range for <$5. At least 30 breweries in the city.

Thing is Dublin might qualify wrt pubs, but certainly not for beers (stout excepted).

Don't know much about Belgium but the Czech Republic and Germany have some amazing beer.

The only thing I liked in the States was Sam Adams.

Bruges is a tourist trap. Antwerp is miles better for the batter.

Even Cork has more locally brewed beers than Dublin.

this is a skewed result if Dublin is there...
though there are a lot of locally brewed beers, generally outside the capital in counties kildare and meath !!

Dublin obv included as it is a great place to booze, and if that is the precedent, then New york should be on the list - one of the best places on earth to go drinking !

[Hardy]

One of the best places on earth, full stop.

There's red and white blood running through his veins and he has a pair of Blood and Bandages pyjamas

Living in a cage doesn't make you a monkey! I wasn't claiming or according any credit - just pointing out a fact.

I do happen to believe Beamish is the only positive thing Langerland has given the world.

Real men don't wear pyjamas.

[Billys Boots]

No, no Hardy, that's exactly the sort of thing they use in (supposedly) everyday conversation.  You've been tainted, irreparably I'd imagine.  I can picture you pointing at County Hall as I type.  Oh dear.

[Hardy]

It's still a lie about the pyjamas.
