    I found it in Málaga !, in good Pubs you can have one of those, not only in Belgium :-). Altough I have a friend from that country, and he told me some other beers, that are harder to find here in Málaga. Je je... International Grimbergen :-)

          I think you're right, but for years it was advertised here by that label and it's stuck in my mind. Recent ads refer to it simply as Guinness, but it still tastes wonderful!:) "Please don't put cigarette butts in the urinal.

                            Bitburger is my absolute favorite beer, followed bei Koepi (Königs Pilsener) and a few others. Favorite Kölsch: Früh, Gilden and Reissdorf.

                                        Heineken is a fine lager. Personally I think it's the best. I like how it tastes before and after I've swallowed the beer. It's a win-win beer. :) However, I'd like to point out that I haven't had any Belgian beers so far, so I can't dispute your claim. :) -- Run around in the radiation Run around in the acid rain, On a black, black planet
