We have THE best: Westvleteren Abbey beer

Then there's the 1500 others that kick Heineken's butt :spock:

Anyways, for you US guys who wonders how such a small country might have so many different kinds of beer: we're big on that tradition. In the old days every town, village and abbey had it's own brewery. Why ? because of the black plague.
Brewing beer involves cooking water and alcohol, hence killing all harmfull bacteria. So most people started drinking beer instead of water.

That's why, on the global scale of alcoholism, you get the following order:
1, Russians
2, The Irish
3, The Belgians

The Irish all the way :hbang:

Japan/France... wow... I'd love to hear how that happened Shawn :) Probably an interesting story how your folks met. I always thought seeing people with interesting mixes like that was pretty cool. :yesway:

Anyways, my parents are from Zimbabwe.
:lol: My father was born and raised in Lewiston, Maine. Then, he went in the Navy back in 1969 and was stationed in Japan and met my mother there. He was in the Navy for 20 years. :yesway:

American.

My ancestors were from Brittany, as far as I can tell (the record gets a bit fuzzy before they came to Canada in the early 1600s)

I was born in detroit, michigan. My mom was born somewhere in michigan and my dad was born somewhere in kentucky. My grandparents on my mom's side of the family were from Slovenia (former Yugoslavia), and my grandmother on my dad's side was from Germany. My paternal lineage is unknown. Pretty much everyone except my dad changed his name going up through paternal heritage, so it gets confusing very fast…

So I'm American of German/Slovene descent.

My nationality is American. My father's side is of German descent; my mother's side is of Irish descent (very proud Irish grandfather). My step-father's "side" (no blood relation) is of English descent.

English father (that side of the family's from the Yorkshire region) and a Scottish mother, although I tend to think of myself as more English.

OK well here goes,,,My Mom's family were actually part of the Nordic invasion into England So there is some Scandinavian and English. Then they came to the New Country in about 1590. My Great Great Grandmother on that side is Black Foot Indian. Then my Dad's side was directly from Russia and Germany...but being of the people I am..I also have French, Austrian, and Czech in me. What can I say...no one wanted us so we moved around a bit. But I am AMERICAN WITH NO FUCKING HYPHEN!!!!!!!

Half Swedish, quarter Italian, and a quarter French-canadian. Of the three, the Italian is the most interesting half, and culturally the one I identify myself most closely with, so that's the one I think of myself as. I may only be a quarter Italian in body, but I'm all Italian at heart. :wub:
