We have THE best: Westvleteren Abbey beer
Then there's the 1500 others that kick Heineken's butt![]()
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

Anyways, my parents are from Zimbabwe.

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)
