I've recently found the best beer known to man. It's the Maudite, brewed in Quebec.
Brandon, I just got back from a few days in the Great White North, where I learned that Unibroue, the outfit that brews Maudite, is now owned by Japanese brewing giant Sapporo. Turns out Unibroue sold out to Canadian brewing company Sleeman Breweries in 2004, and Sleeman sold out to Sapporo in 2006.
As far as I can tell, it hasn't affected Unibroue's commitment to brewing real beer, but it's still kind of sad.

I wonder if that's why they brought out Le Fin du Monde.

Reilly, if that's the reason, I'm OK with it.
Shame, though, that the Quebecois don't own the brewery anymore.
On the other side of the coin, it's a backhanded tip of the hat to them for brewing such delicious beer, that they were bought out.
What was I saying?

Brand Bier from holland is the cleanest
then guinness draught
this stuff here, so clean and good, great buzz,
they stopped importing it becuse of the white bottle

Don't know if it's the best yet, I'm putting off cracking it.
Definitely the best-named beer* and it's pretty gud!
*It's a pity it isn't pronounced like it appears.
Second best name?

Stop procrastinating, and lift that cap. "Best" is a stupid discussion, but Pliny the Elder is really, really good for its style.

A black raspberry Porter made by Silver Plume Brewery - Silver Plume Co. - now defunct, holds that award for me. I think it was called Bullshead Black.

Silver, many of my great memories involve an afternoon on the roof at Silver Peak.
Good times, and some interesting shops nearby.

Hard to believe it’s been 25 years since two brothers bought a working class tavern called the Blue Moon in what was a grittier NW Portland and turned it into a mini-beer joint empire of Oregon. Still love me a Terminator Stout -from the tap.
