he brings home cases of German beer thats like 12-13% Alc
Sounds like "Colt 45" Nik... [;)]
Technically, in the US, a "beer" over 10% alchohaul (or something like that), is considered a "malt liquor" (interesting trivia).

World's best beer, that isn't a highly specialized microbrew, is Fat Tire. Hands down the best in the world. It's not too heavy, not too light, good full flavor without being overly bitter. YUM!ORIGINAL: Nikademus
US beers generally suck....unless its a reputible microbrewery.....a wonderful exception is Rouge Ales. I live within walking distance of one of their brewhouses...they have so many good selections you need a beer "menu" to order!

Guinness is too "creamy" for me. Makes me ill.ORIGINAL: Speedy
Warsteiner is a decent Lager. I'm more of a Lager drinker than a Bitter one but will (as said before) drink Guinness from time to time (not that that's a Bitter mind you)
You need to try the "good stuff". I've had tequila so smooth it goes down like water. VEry dangerous!ORIGINAL: Speedy
Tequila makes me ill....guaranteed
Isn't Stella a pilsner? I could be mistaken. At any rate, a first class beer. Wonderful for backyard BBQs or after a good match of ultimate (frisbee).ORIGINAL: Curty
Stella Artois in my opinion is the best Lager in the world...a Belgian 'beer', 5.2% Alc.

1) Now it gets clear why the Brits call these fluids ale, lager, bitter or whatever. They all seem to have incommon that they do not deserve the name beer. This is of course derived from the stuff you get at airports like Heathrow, Gatwick etc.
2) I though guiness was irish - not a single irishman to flame all here for calling it british?
3) Problem with german beer is that the best comes from some smaller breweries - Loewenbraeu may be famous but it's the worst beer from munich, and beer from munich is still inferior to that from the southern bavaian countryside - Tegernseer, Unertl ... - but you can hardly find them 100 km from their production site, let alone in foreign countries. Should that be the case elsewhere in the world as well (US microbreweries come to my mind, but I fear it will never become a clear picture; Belgium) we will not find a conclusion.

Guinness reminds me of the remains of that cold cup of coffee i left from last night...it tasted horrendous

A close second would be German.. Beck's Bier from Bremen, has a kind of nutty taste with 5% Alc.
The strangest is 'Old Pickled Sporren' a local 'brew' from the Orkney Islands[&o][&o][&o]

That is what is missing in advertising in North America...humour and good writing. If I see another yeast infection ad during dinner time I'm going to effing kill someone.[:@]
