In 2006 I moved to Qatar and things are not what many people in North America would expect - it is not like how the Middle East is portrayed in the media. I'm also a fan of skepticism and science so wondered how this works here in Qatar. Since I'm here for a while I figured I'd use the time to get to know this country better and with this blog you can learn along with me. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - So what posts have been popular recently . . .
Given the huge variety of beers in Belgium (hundreds and hundreds) you're going to find a beer that you love. I was always trying a different beer wherever I was, usually the house beer or the local specialties. I can't say they were all good, there were the odd ones with really strong flavours that were too much for me. Some bars specialize in having dozens of different beers available so they can help you pick out ones you might like.
A lot of places don't have the mass-market stuff and you might get some eye-rolling if you ask for one. I was in one place and someone came in and asked for a Heineken and the bartender said "No." I never had a Heineken, Carlsberg or other well-known beers.

Certainly only a subjective view, but I think Belgium may have the best bier in the world. If not the best, pretty close.
