Not all.  Only the Guinness Extra Stout...Guinness Draught is still brewed in Ireland.  Oh, and might I add, the extra stout now tastes like garbage.  Thank you Canada...you ruined a good beer. : P

Hmm.  I didn\'t know that about Draught.  That\'s the stuff I buy, so I guess I have good taste.

The draught is good stuff...I had the extra stout for the first time when I was 13...when it was still brewed in dublin.....damn that stuff was strong.  I was so disappointed when I bought a 6 pack of the extra stout this past summer and it tasted like a dark budweiser....blasphemy!  I believe Labatt brews it now.

Draught on tap rules though.  And if you have a taste for wheat ales, try a black and blue sometime (like a black and tan but with blueberry wheat ale instead of bass ale).

Oh, did I mention I like beer?

There are a lot out there to like.  My favourites would probably by Guiness Draught, Beamish Stout, Headstrong India Pale Ale, Creemore Springs, Singha Stout, and Fuller\'s London Porter.

Nor would have Apartheid in South Africa.

Ah, you got me there! The VOC and the WIC did some bad things...

And stop talking about your feeble beers, there is only one true beer: Bavaria!
Sadly the most known dutch beer is Heineken, Bavaria tastes  sooo much better.

Uhm, might I add that Belgium is one of the most known countries in the world for beer? Hey, there\'s not much we\'re known for, so I\'m proud of it okay?
I don\'t like Heineken at all, to me it\'s like water with a tiny bit of beer taste..And Bavaria...Bweeh sometimes Guinness is LOVE by the way, been to Ireland and been drinking Guinness ever since.

Now, back to the test...umm..


Oops, you only got 3 out of 10 right!

Bweh...Doesn\'t matter

EDIT: By the way if you want REAL beer, drink Duvel  ) [/EDIT]

You Passed the US Citizenship Test



Congratulations - you got 9 out of 10 correct!

Could You Pass the US Citizenship Test?

I think the senator question got me.  It used to be unlimited, but I just haven\'t heard if they imposed limitations like they did on the president(what a mistake that was!).  Now I gotta read all these posts to see what interesting discussion has been wrought here.

Edited for commentary:

Beer?! That is your interesting discussion?  You are discussing your favorite beer?  How about discussing whether to eat Chunky Soup with a fork or a spoon?

Disclaimer:  I am joking!  You are also not allowed to disclaim my disclaimer, I disclaim that too.

I\'ve heard the name.  Haven\'t had it though.  Truth be told, I gravitate towards heavier beers like stouts and porters.

[ThomPhoenix]

Heavier beers are good too, like the \"Duveltje\" from Belgium.

And Bavaria...Bweeh sometimes

How can you say! It\'s the best!

[Izzy*dot]

Well you know, tastes and stuff..everybody has his favorite probably. I\'m also more into the heavier beers...So Duvel is my alltime favorite.

Um well I see your point But hey, I\'m 18, student, and I still manage to save some money for that kind of stuff. Little luxury \"escapades\" or whatever you like to call them

Um but ofcourse beer is cheap here. Because Belgium is beer. So I guess our beer will cost more in other countries because of the import costs and stuff.

Yeah.. O.o


EDIT: By the way, with REAL beer I meant to say that I don\'t see heineken as real. Oh wait, I don\'t see it as beer at all, more like water. With beertaste. And no matter how much Heineken I drink...The only thing it gets me is that I have to run to the toilet every 20 minutes. Well yeah. I don\'t like it. So REAL beer...nearly every beer is real compared to Heineken, imho. No need to get offended now, anyone, it\'s my opinion

and: ah, so you mean drinkers of real beer....

[Izzy*dot]

Mums can come in handy that way Um and whadya mean I mean drinkers of real beer? As long as you don\'t drink Heineken...and Brahma probably..you drink real beer. Buuuut ofcourse this wouldn\'t be anywhere near a discussion if there wasn\'t anybody who said Heineken is the real stuff, so come on dutchies, I\'m waiting for you  )

Tho it is probably pointless..

Hmm my personal preference is Adnams Broadside followed by Speckled Hen and Caffreys and none of these foreign lager beers

Adnams Broadside is something I just learned about last week in UK. Reminds me Samuel Adams I\'m used to drink when in US

I personally like Ringnes you get in Norway; draft, not bottled.
