I am very lucky Barcon as my local over here serves the best pint of Guinness I`ve tasted.Must admit that apart from one back street pub in Dublin I was very disappointed in the Guinness over there a couple of years ago.Guinness has just about been ruined for me. I went to Ireland last year and drank, let's say, a fair bit of it.
Came back home to Canada and ordered a pint at the Irish embassy pub. I almost spat it out.
There's only a couple of places here that I will order it.
Didn`t realise that Deuchars were still brewing mate.Not had any for years.Deuchars IPA.
Love Guinness too.

However I must look out for this IPA as I do like a good bottled pale ale.
Stella has to be the worst piss to come out of Belgium.
Belgian’s pride themselves on the wonderful beers they produce and from my experience living there for a while, don’t drink Stella as it is a mass produced chemical brew as bad as Harp here in Ireland.
They export it to Britain.
For a standard everyday table beer they’d drink Jupiler far more. Much nicer.
I quite liked Grimbergen.
But there were numerous really tasty ones on Le Podo beer menu that was my local.
Leffe
la Trappe
Rochfort
Orval - dark and rich
Chimay there was red yellow and blue label. Can’t remember which I liked. Think it was Chimay Bleu.
View attachment 5876 Strongest I recall having was Sixtus. 16% as far as I remember.
A couple of bottles at Christmas. Not too much more.
Edit: found a local cheap as chips bar in Budapest last year that had Grimbergen on tap. Heaven.
