I've recently found the best beer known to man. It's the Maudite, brewed in Quebec.
It's got a complex bouquet and a badass finish. If you love beer you should try it.

Brandon,
IMHO the term 'bouquet' should never be used to describe beer.
Nevertheless I will make a point of seeking it out at our local beerimporium, Dirty John's, and will report back ASAP.
Thank you for the tip!

LOve it!
BTW: I am presently enjoying a Schlafly APA (Americuun Pale Ale) that's got a dandy tickle to the nose.

looks pretty good. Don't recall Beer Advocate dishing out "A+" too liberally.
I'm having a Schlitz right now. Solid "C-".

Wayno, perhaps not.
However, I've done my fair share of beer sampling. I could be called a beer snob and this to me, takes the cake.
I'm usually an IPA guy, give me a Stone Ruination and I'm in heaven.
However, there is something so distinctive and complex to this beer that I'm now infatuated with it.
Plus, here in NH, I can get it for $6/bottle.

Maudite...
The ginger ale of Champagnes, to pervert an old advertising slogan.
Not that it's bad, but how much Belgian beer have you sampled? Canadian brewer Unibroue makes a lot of Belgian-style beers, and they've somehow managed to become the choice of the cool people. But Maudite is just one more among many.
Spend the next two years working through every Belgian and Belgian-style beer you can lay your hands on and then come back and let's talk about Maudite.

Brandon, next time you are in the North Conway area you could make it a point to hit my local pub, Ebenezer Kezars. It's been voted best beer bar in the world once, and best beer bar in America four times I think.Food is great too.Lot's of Belgians. Lot's.Maudite yes.

What a bunch of self indulgent narcissistic posers.
There is only one true answer to this question.
The BEST BEER IN THE WORLD IS BEER.
Christ. Oh, whoops, he turned water into wine, or at least that's what the easter bunny told me.
He's real so it must be true....

It did win a medal in 1893. And as far as "cheap beer" goes it's my go to.
Not by any means the best beer ever.
My personal favorite right now is Stone IPA.
Sometimes a like to go for "Ruination" from the same brewery.
Good luck with finding an actual answer unless we do a taste off?

I would have to vote for Arrogant Bastard. I am also a big fan of IPA's and will look for this Maudite brew. Thanks Brandon!

Stone IPA, Hop Stoopid are both excellent. Old Rasputin Imperial Stout when you are just itching for a angry kick in the teeth.
