USA. And I'm not talking Budweiser. Craft breweries are plentiful, often paired with some local music and hopefully some locally sourced meals.

Because of the Trappists.
Westvleteren was considered as one of the best beers in the world and very hard to obtain outside of Belgium. But about a decade ago they needed to raise money for repairs or something, so they exported a big batch. My buddy and I searched high and low as there was a buying frenzy for this stuff, until randomly in a small mountain town liquor store on the floor of their walk-in fridge we found a flat of this stuff, so we bought them all. Anyway I didn't like it at all haha found it it way too "flavourful" price-is-right-sad-trombone.wav
This is the right answer
Two words: Saison DuPont
More words: avec les bons voeux de la brasserie dupont
Yes, 100%!!
Countries don't make good beers. Artisans do. I do.
Indeed, but cultures help artisans to grow in competence or not. Belgian culture does, and quite a lot.
That is true, but then there are situations where it's constraints that enable artisans to push the limits, experiment. Belgium has a respectable tradition and I like Trappist beers a lot, thus I reverse-engineer them a lot, too.
Our culture limits artisans hard, selling quality beer to anyone here is economically unsound. Yet I consider it as an opportunity to fight the challenge.
Correct! ...so which country has the best artisans? :p
As I said, I'm in Finland
Rwanda. Virunga mist is the shit.
I need to try that!
