I'm not sure I agree with Mexico City making the list, although that might have more to do with my not liking mexican beers (with the exception of Negra Modelo).

Amsterdam? They only have like 3 different beers there! Most restaurants have a beer menu that looks like this:

Perhaps they sampled something a little more euphoric before the beer tasting began.

Never when I'm with Miles. In fact, it's been quite a while since I've done it at all.

Burlington? "One of these things is not like the other....."

 

[ryser2k]

Yeah, and the reason they give is that it's close to Montreal and Boston. How about just picking one of those two cities then?

close? If you think 3 hours is close. I've often thought while in Burlington that I would just shoot on over to Boston for a couple drinks.

Don't believe everything you read.

What about Sapporo, Japan...Beer in vending machines, that's awesome!!!!

 

[eyeswideopen]

i'd have to agree that Amsterdam should definitely not make the list. And beer in vending machines is awesome, and found just about anywhere in europe from my experience. I also think that Portland should be ahead of burlington, but i do agree that burlington should be on the list because they have GREAT microbrews, and just about every bar has many on tap. Not to mention magic hat growlers for $5.

We used to have beer vending machines in our barracks in Germany in the 70s...nothing new here...

I actually like several Mexican beers, but can't understand the logic here. Practically no microbrew culture or brewpubs, and there's not much unique about the beer in Mexico City as compared to the rest of the country. If a city is going to make the list it seems like it should have some unique characteristic related to great beer. I do give Mexico a nod for perpetuating the Vienna lager, however!

Yea I can get all those beers here... Negra Modelo is good, but it's probably better here than in the smog ridden D.F.

That's not a "best beer" list - it's a "most volume" list. The only foreign cities they mention are the most common places the US imports from, and the list of US cities is shady at best. Amsterdam? Sapporo? Mexico City?!?!?!? Apparently they like skunky and/or rice beer you can buy from a machine. Well done, MSNBC. Your news is about as good as your software products - overpopularized with plenty of room for improvement.

I so need to get to belgium...

 

[sause]

No Milwaukee? That's it I'm never reading stuff from any other place than HBT ever again! Ok, so I belong in the Drunk and Rambling section.

 

[Yuri_Rage]

They didn't include The Land of Sky Blue Waters either...

Damn I love that bear. Funny I talked to a guy about that today. Talk about trying to get children to drink. "Let's have a cartoon bear as our mascot!"
