I'm goint to have to agree on two points:
Belgian beer is the world's best. Fortunately, one does not have to go to Belgium to find plenty of good belgian beer becuase Brussels is terribly boring.

I (personally) agree that the Czech have (one of the best or the best) Pilsener type of beers (Pilsener Urquell or Budvaar).
Belgium probably has the most exciting variety of beers worldwide.

Rozy .. 10 points for the waffles!
And as an Ozzie, my Oath Of Alliegance to this country requires me to swear Ozzie beer beats all. (Then German, for taste and the sheer variety and number of local brews, which I have no doubt eclipses many fold those of ANY other country).

Don't forget the Dutch! They've brought us 3 of the best -- Amstel, Heineken, and my personal favorite -- Grolsch!
Reminds me of an old joke...
Why are American beers like having sex in a canoe?
Because they're both f**king close to water!

Touche Rudi. Belgium does have the best variety. There are more small batch beers in that tiny country than the whole U.S. And they are mostly very good.

Read what the N.Y. Times writes about Brussels.

What' Doing In Brussels
There is a new and more upbeat spirit in the old town of Brussels, and it is not just because the city is one of Europe's nine Cities of Culture in this millennium year.
One reason is the new, right-of-center government, more spirited and outspoken on the national and international stage than its weary predecessor. Another is the ongoing beautification of Brussels. Sidewalks have been repaved, and flowers and trees planted in profusion.

This thread has gone all over the place!
My friend CATMAN has NOT been to brussels or Belgium yet but someday he will. IT seems like an OK airport. But he tells me he's interested in going there someday.
