True. I can see why some might look upon countries like Germany and Belgium and think that all beers are plentiful and widely-available. Such is not always the case. I think when you take a country like that, where the tradition of brewing beer is so rich and engrained, you tend to see many of the beers often confined to a small geographical region. People probably like their beers, the ones that are made locally, and don't really bother with stuff that comes from the other side of the country.
That's why in Germany, you probably get certain beers in Munich, Dortmund, Essen, Berlin, Frankfurt...etc. People are proud of their local brews, and aren't as disposed to trying something from another region as a foreigner would.
I remember a few years ago, I was working with a Belgian dude and he told me about Delirium Tremens. To my delight I happened to find it here a few weeks later and then told him about my experience with it. We had a laugh because while all it took for me to get it was a 5-minute walk to the local SAQ, he said that back home he'd have to drive for two hours in order to be able to buy it. |
Exactly correct. Last night I tried an absolutely heavenly beer.
Much fruitier than what I'd usually go for, but it was a nice summer night and we were sitting out the front of a restaurant. I also hadn't drunk for three gruelling days, so it seemed like the best beer of my life.
