imported specialty beers
what's your favorite imported beer?
i'm throwing together a variety pack of different imported beers for some of my gift receivers. so far i've got some new castle, harp, kronenburg, smithwicks and some other locals from the GIB. i'm not much of a beer connoisseur, but do any of you people have any suggestions of what else too throw in? oh yea, and which liquor store carries the biggest variety of beer?

peroni (italy): a light lager, blows stella out of the water. quite possibly better than heineken. they have in the past carried it at the big liqour store on cambie, sometimes they have it, sometimes they dont.
 Mickeys (usa): comes in a stubby, redstripe type bottle. brewed in wisconson, straight up american malt liqour. this one will probably be more difficult to find.  Zhujiang (china): 5.3% alcohol, another lager. better, but comparable to stella. doesnt have the same watery taste that stella has sometimes. more full bodied if you ask me. i have only seen this at a couple places in richmond only.  Sapporo Silver (Japan): best draft beer ever made. expensive though, i think it runs for like 5.50$ for a tall can of it.  San Miguel (Phillipines): kinda watery, but a good pilsner still. plus, the real san miguel says this shit on the bottle "A truly satisfying beer with a refined, well-balaced flavor. Perfected and brewed for over a century. The only beer that nourishes true Filipino friendships." Epic. A filipino friend of mine says they mix this shit with rum over there and drink it straight. It's called blue devil i think. Certified Gangsta. (The bottle looks different in Canada)  i could go on forever with this, there is so many to choose from. these are the more obvious choices. my advice is dont buy any of the canned pub ales (Boddingtons, ect...), they have so little carbonation, too flat for most people. they will taste like grain water to most people.

one more....
Czechvar (czech rep.): best beer ever made, imo. flavours are perfectly balanced. 10/10. its the original budweiser, still sold underthis name in Europe. it's cheap too, like 2.50$ for a large bottle. you can find it everywhere.  pass up the redstripe as well. from time to time i still buy this stuff, and im disapointed everytime. its watery as fuck with a bitter aftertaste. if you want a light carribean beer, go for carib or something.
