There is quite nothing as good as a Köstritzer Schwarzbier. *sage nod* One of the things I enjoy being German for. There is quite nothing as good as a Köstritzer Schwarzbier.

This is Chicago retail pricing, a bar is a bit more of course. Is that helpful Klaas?

I was actually wondering how much you have to pay for Belgian beers in the USA. Doesn't matter what beer it is. Will someone inform me on this :P ?

Thanks to English brewing laws, which guiness had to follow to import there, Guiness is less heavy and alchoholic than it used to be. This has been the way for 50 years. You want bread in a can go to the middle of Wisconsen and find Viking brewery products. They sell something called: "Whole Stein is a coffee, oatmeal, milk porter. Yesiree, all the best parts of breakfast, right in your glass." It's thick and yummy. God, I'm such a beer snob. Ah well. Sadly Guiness is not bread in a can anymore.

Thats the pure brilliance of real beer, there's a never ending supply of new flavours! You get year round favourites, but then there's the seasonal ales and one off brews. I never tire of beer, ever. Don't dismiss lagers either, the watered down rice-filled affairs have sullied the reputation of what can be an equally tasty beverage!
