What is the Best Beer in the World Poll

[Bucksnort101]

Best beer I've had to date is a Imperial Stout named Darkness. Brewed by a local brewery names Surly Brewing. Dark Black in color, served cold, but has to warm up a bit before the taste comes alive. Malt, chocholate, coffee, and then a blast of Hops, Hops, and more Hops.
Only available locally, once a year, for a short period of time in the fall. If you're ever in Minneapolis Minnesota near Halloween look them up and see if you can find any in the local pubs (not bottled or canned except for a one day sale right at the brewery).

I can tell you what it's not... near beer...

i have to go whit german beer

 

[JimmywiT]

On that list I chose Belgian beer, I have been there 3 times and seriously, it is like nectar.

But i still have to go with good English bitter, London pride, Hobgoblin or Old Speckled Hen are my favourites! I don't really care for most Lagers, too light and gassy.

" Whats the best beer ? "
Got to be Brains SA . Brewed by the Welsh , drunk by the Welsh and sponsers the Welsh rugby team . Couple of pints of that and ya average Taff would take on the Wallabies , All Blacks and Springboks on his own , .

Carlsberg Special Brew--- Its a good Fighting beer with a cheeky little "Nose" some what akin to Vino Collapso Milk of Amnesia.
Also know in Ladies circles as " Chatau Leg Opener".

I belive it was brewed for Churchill , after winning some war or other!!

i voted for the germans because they use beer for everything in german also for medicines !

but the best beer in the world for me is the brazilian brahma chopp, frozen at -5°C in a sunny day with a portion of calabreza or a nice barbecue !

saúde chefia !

Beer is used as medicine here in Germany? Really? I have never used beer as a medicine...

If you ask 20 people, "What's the best beer in the world", you'd probably
get nineteen different answers. [Two would say "Bud"]. It's got to be
a personal choice kinda thing. I use to like Lowenbrau and Hinekens...
eons ago, of course.

Budweiser Budvar Dark Lager has been awarded the title "World's Best Lager" in a British magazine contest

2.10.2007

Budweiser Budvar Dark Lager's subtle flavour and quality was appreciated by the panel of this year's international contest "World Beer Awards" organised by the British specialist magazine "Beers of the World". A panel of experts evaluated beer samples from a total of 42 beer styles. The contest had three rounds. Budweiser Budvar Dark Lager was awarded the title "World's Best Lager" in the category of lagers.

České Budějovice, 2nd October 2007 – Budweiser Budvar Dark Lager was the winner in one of the most complex beer contests in the world – the "World Beer Awards" organised by the British beer magazine "Beers of the World", being awarded the title "World's Best Lager".

"We appreciate gaining the 'World's Best Lager' title very much, since beers from all over the world were the competitors. This time, the dark lager was evaluated by experts, but what is important for us is the fact that it has been very successful with our customers and its sales have been increasing," commented the award winning Budweiser Budvar's PR manager, Petr Samec. Budweiser Budvar Dark Lager's sales amounted to almost 20,000 hectolitres in 2006, which meant an annual increase by 56%.

Almost half of the production was exported to 13 countries. Nearly 2,000 hectolitres of dark lager was sold in Britain in 2006. The dynamic rise of sales continued as well in the first six months of 2007, when the year-to-year increase reached more than 50%.

The beer samples in the "World Beer Awards" were assessed in three rounds. In the first round, an international panel evaluated hundreds of beer brands. Based on this evaluation, winners were specified in a total of 42 styles in five main categories: lager, ale, stout/porter, wheat beer and special beer.

The winners of the 42 groups (styles) proceeded to the second round, where they were anonymously judged by the best British brew masters and brewers. They determined 12 winners of the subcategories. Budweiser Budvar Dark Lager thus won e.g. in the subcategory "World's Best Dark Lager".

The third and final round meant tasting the winning beers anonymously by a panel, who specified the absolute winners of four main categories: lager, ale, stout/porter, wheat beer. This is where the Budweiser Budvar Dark Lager was awarded the "World's Best Lager".

The whole evaluating procedure is quite vast and complicated, particularly due to the extensive range of products in the contest. The panel's chairman and the well-known British beer expert and publicist Roger Protz comments upon that: "The members of the panel were amazed by the quality and amount of beers in our contest. It was very difficult to determine the winner. I hope that not only the overall winners of our contest but also all the brands involved will gain the deserved attention of consumers and will bring them happiness and pleasure."

Disputes concerning registered trademarks

The history of disputes regarding the registered trademark of Budweiser Budvar dates back to the beginning of the last century. For decades, the representatives of one of the large american breweries tried to purchase from Budweiser Budvar the rights to its trademarks, first of all only for the territory of the USA. They managed to do this before the start of World War II. with the aim of attaining registered trademarks for Budweiser Budvar in other countries and the representatives of American brewery still continue with their activities today.

Budweiser Budvar has to defend its historical rights to the registered trademarks against legal attacks from the Anheuser-Burch company in more than 40 legal disputes and a further more than 70 administrative proceedings currently before patent offices throughout the world. The majority of legal decisions confirm the rights of Budweiser Budvar to its registered trademarks. Recently, Budweiser Budvar achieved important victories in the legal trademark disputes, for example, in Great Britain, Australia, Japan, South Korea, Greece, Portugal, Denmark, Sweden, Finland and New Zealand.

theres no czech budweiser in the markets here in my city, i believe it must being easy to buy in são paulo.

i alredy had tasted the american budweiser and didnt liked that, too weak, no flavor. i hope the original one should be better.

here in southern of brazil, frontier with argentina, theres a large number of german immigrants, they makes some good bier there, one of these is called eisenbahn, its very tasty its a "artesenal bier", in rio de janeiro theres a nice black one, is called xingu. there are some bocks and other kinds, but i like the "blondies" and the "blacks" !

also if comes to brazil, dont forget to taste the chopp !

I can bet the Budvar/Czechvar is better, undoubtly...try to get it somewhere, taste it and lemme know...the american Bud makes the name worse ...I tasted one Bud in USA and don´t know why the people buy it. It was my first and last try
Maybe a lot of people buy it as they don´t know anything else and think Bud is good. But if you come from a beer country like me, Germans, Brits or Belgians, you would never drink it...

 

[Glider]

I don't drink but my friends who do cannot agree if the the best beer in the world is either:-

a) the one they are drinking or
b) the next one

Any views?
