Hoegaarden (Special?) was my fav beer when I used to drink and I could never find it at the stores back then only at restaurants.

In Hong Kong the most popular beer is San Miguel.

I drink only the best of premium beers.

I think fluoride free distilled water offers more bang for the buck than Bud Light and sometimes a 4L jug is only a dollar at Food Basics.

Welcome to Quebec, the land of beer you'll never see ever again in your entire life.

La Trappe is a beer from the Netherlands . Although very close to the Belgian border.
If you want to try something beter, Belgium can offer you 6 trappist of the 11 in the world (we used to have 7 of the 9).


bottom one are the Belgian one, the top one's are the rest of the world, including one pending-for-official Trappist.

From left to right, the Belgian one's.
- Chimay (red, blue, white, La Chimay Dorée, Spéciale Cent Cinquante)
- Orval
- Rochefort (Rochefort 6, Rochefort 8 (Spéciale), Rochefort 10 )
- Westmalle (dubbel, trippel, extra)
- Westvleteren (Blond, Acht, Twaalf)
- Achel (8 Blond/bruin, Extra blond/bruin)
And yes, I've tried them all.

The other one's are:
- Gregorius (Austria)
- La Trappe (NL)
- Zundert (NL)
- Spencer (US)
- Tre Fontane (IT)
- Mont des Cats (FR , but not a "real" trappist, because it's being brewed in Chimay (BE))

Oh and there around 1400 belgian beers, not including all the local micro-breweries. With those included the total number goes above 2000 different beers.
Not bad for a country that's the size of a popcorn, gets called a hellhole and has 5(!) governments (the Flemisch, the french, the german, the brussels and a global one).
That concludes the only thing I can be proud about of my country:

The Belgian beers

Generalized statement, as when most people think of Trappist Beer, we think of Belgium. Especially for someone who doesn't overly care for it.

Not fond of any beer that isn't brewed in North America. IMO, European beers are generally not as good compared to what's being brewed in NA at the moment. But again, a generalized statement, and I don't mind being proven wrong when it comes to delicious beer.

To date, I've had 600 beers from all over the world and generally, my highest rated beers are those from Canada, especially Quebec. 12 of those have been Belgian (styled at least, but some from Brouwerij Huyghe, Abbaye Notre-Dame de Saint-Rémy, Brasserie d'Achouffe, Brouwerij St. Bernardus and Brouwerij Bosteels), my highest rated Belgian beer is a 3.5 and it was an IPA.

In fairness, the Edmonton airport has a restaurant in it that serves Belgian beer only, and I always like going there to try something new when I'm there
