        Beer I picked up in Brussels. Only made there and has a sour tang, has something to do with the air there if I remember correctly.

          You could've done a lot better… This is like buying Levi's jeans in Japan...

            Ha ha I tried a lot more. Wish I bought some back from Prague! Very hard to find good beer in the UK.

              Two words…....Brew Dog. That is all you need to know about finding great beer in the UK.

                  Any other hop-heads?  Not sure that these styles are common outside of the US, though I've had some good variants down under, such as Little Creatures Pale Ale in Perth, seemingly modeled on the northwestern American Pale Ale style. The Belgians have made some hop-forward brews, but none that I've sampled quite have the punch I'm looking for. I think the esters introduced via bottle conditioning and the smaller bubbles take some of the bite away.

                  Taking this style of hop-forward, malt-backward style to an extreme:

                  Russian River Pliny the Elder
                  Three Floyds Dreadnaught
                  Bell's Hopslam!
                  Stone Ruination
                  Surly Abrasive Ale

                  All American Imperial IPAs in the West Coast tradition, which is to say, super bitter, lots of citrus/pine resin hop flavor, high proof, heavy mouthfeel, and a weak malt backbone, typically pale / crystal malts. Unbalanced, brash, obnoxious, uncouth, and either beloved or hated… American ;).

                  Think it, be it.

                        I've tried all of those except the Surly. They're all great, especially Pliny and Hopslam. Founders Devil Dancer is awesome as well, but it is a bit maltier.

                          Speaking of great IPA's, my buddy brought me one of these from Florida:

                          Killer IPA, and the best beer I've ever had out of a can.

                            Once again for the hard of reading, Brew Dog is all you need to know about UK beers. Everything they produce in consistently excellent.

                              They just got them in Oklahoma, I'll have to pick some up next time I'm at the Liquor Store. Which one should I start with?

                                Punk IPA is the classic, 5am Saint and Dead Pony Club are great too. If you can get it, their Tokyo beer is an absolute killer.

                                  Winterkoninkske… Less hard core than the big bottles, but really good nonetheless...

                                      Pam just bought me a bottle of this, along with my regular Brew Dog restock. Seul, is it crap?
