Of that I'm sure, just like in any part of the world, but I'm talking about the choice you get in grocery shops and shopping malls - it's saddening, really. Due to that, many people have no idea that beer doesn't need to taste like bitter pee.

Of course, even in Europe you don't get the best beers in generic shops, but you at least get a decent choice of Leffe, Hoegarden, Le Chouffe, Chimay, Paulaner, Sam Smith, Westvleteren... Of course, if you really want to try the out-of-the-world beer, you seek for small family-owned breweries in Belgium.

But on average, USofA is not nearly as exposed to good beer as Europe, which is sad... Maybe that 'How beer saved the world' documentary might help in rising awareness

European Beer clearly did not save NOKIA

Your link does not invalidate his. Yours is US and his is UK. He even mentions UK in his post.

Nokia staff probably drank Salmiakki Koskenkorva, while the management was (and still is) on crack - they should've opted out for beer, it might have saved them!

Wow, Lumiaman you really have to read more about Symbian.. You're talking crap about Symbian when you actually mean the S60 UI (Avkon).. Symbian (as an OS), is a very modular, powerful, and very efficient OS!

But with Nokia's poor method of execution (having multiple Symbian teams competing internally against each other and not organising things correctly) has resulted into what "Symbian" is all about up until now.. Before you say anything else.. You should probably use Belle FP1 and see how smooth and fast that is... I'll grant you one thing though, the browser still sucks (I don't know why they're sticking to the same old Nokia browser), but that's why there's Opera Browser!

Anyways, I'm going to add you to the ignore list, just because your are arrogant, ignorant, and quite racist at the same time..

Lager is lager IMO, at least European lager. There are differences, but nothing that an hour old chewing gum wouldn't offset, and they all taste good mostly. It's when you drink all these "non-standard" beers that you see what beer is, and there are thousands to chose from.

iPhone is like a hip imported mexican beer in a fancy bottle, but taste like sugar and water. Android is lager, the purer the better. Harmattan/MeeGo is like a bitter from an English pub. Symbian is that special vintage beer you have saved, but you have saved it a biiit to long. WP is not really a beer, more of an excuse, like american lager. And then there is Apollo, WTF is Apollo?

Nokia should start making beer. Their phone era is definitely over.

Whilst I do appreciate your point Mize, there is one other thing to consider. Many of the aspiring iphone populace (here in the UK at least) do not hold the attention span to complete such surveys.

Heck, many become confused with the number of boxes on the local elections voting slip, others may not have even gone through the process of a monetary transaction to obtain their new facebook phone.

Now I know I may be slightly flippant here but the faults with these surveys always come to light when you ask the two following questions... How many people were surveyed? And Where?


Back to Beer. In the UK we do have the luxury of having a good range of beers,lagers, bitters, Ales and stouts from the UK, Continent and US. I make it my own personal goal to try as many as possible

We have a Camra festival every year where I live and they make it their goal to have 500+ Ales and ciders on tap per event. But even with all of that, one of my favorite Ales of all time was Rogue Honey Ale that a small shop I knew used to imported from the US of all places.

Can't get it anymore over here
