You're giving piss a bad name Beet1e. I sometimes use Anheuser-Busch Budweiser as a subsitute urine to pass my piss tests at work, and they've never noticed the difference yet.
Mind you, British lager (foreign lager brewed under licence) isn't a great deal better, i.e Heineken. What saves us are our traditional breweries producing fantastic ales - and leave the lager to the continentals, who do it much better IMO.
Chimay is the tops, especially White Chimay. I used to work in a beer warehouse and in the summer the magnums of Chimay (1.5l) would explode, showering me in beer! I loved that job, mostly because I got paid in beer - Did you know that Nigerian Guinness is 11% abv?
The belgians are without a doubt the best beer makers in the world when you consider range, quality, quantity and taste. Last time I looked this wonderful country was producing moret than 500 different beers, from Framboise and Kriek to Chimay and Duvel (or is that Dutch?)
