i prefer a more refined beverage. wine, anyone? nothing like the sensual texture of a nice red as it rolls across your tongue. who needs love when you have good wine?
only beer i have tasted that i liked even a little was in lebanon. it was a lebanese beer called almaza. i had a few sips then decided to splurge and get a nice bottle of one of lebanon's famous wines - chateau musar.
if you want something that is better than beer and will set your taste buds on fire then try black balsam cola from latvia. you can find it at any of the zillion convenience stores located in riga, jurmala. or even the ever cool daugavpils. i am sure some brits on here have tried it. probably had some while they stared at girls the caliber of which they never see back home.
