This is the traditional bottle of Brahma we see everyday: http://imagenes.acambiode.com/img-bbdd/Brahma-Chopp-Long-Neck.jpg It's a mainstream, mass produced beer. If you really like your beer, try some from Eisenbahn (http://www.eisenbahn.com.br/) or perhaps Baden Baden (http://www.badenbaden.com.br). Cheers!

No Czech beer, but also no Belgian beers. The country probably makes some of the strongest but tastiest beers in Europe - monastery ales and trappist beers. Agree with Jake.

I found myself surprised that there was not a single Czech Pivo on the list. However, I tried to remember some of my favorite kinds and I cannot. Partially, because the state I was in a good portion of the time in the Czech Repbulic. Also it's because most places in Czech Republic only serve one kind of pivo. If you go in and ask for a pivo, and the only question... perhaps, is how much beer you get. Anyway, as a result, I can't remember any single one of the delicious and surprisingly strong beers I've had by name. Even though several could probably go on a list of my 10 best. Prosim.

Got me thinking about my picnic basket. I'd add Sagres ( Portugal) Adnams Broadside ( Suffolk UK) and Kronenbourg Blanc ( Don't know where it's brewed but it's good ). A dash of sunshine, a few friends and family and I can't wait for the weekend! Great selection – especially on a summers day at work! Got me thinking about my picnic basket.

Guinness is a great beer, but it's best in Dublin. Having it anywhere else just makes me miss Dublin. I was shocked at first, a beer brewed in an Islamic country. Then I found that most Turks I talked to were Muslim the way most French are Catholic. I found myself missing Efes in Greece, I also found myself missing Turks. I know there is some gnarly history there, but by and large, Turks are super-duper friendly. Greeks? Well, maybe they would be more cheery if their country wasn't constantly over-run with tourists. I'll have to get back there and try some of the smaller islands and places less traveled to. Heh, I didn’t even notice the condensation photoshopped into little shamrocks.

Leffe Blonde from Belgium is also mouthwateringly good, but only in the sun, and from draught (not the same in a bottle at home or in a darkened pub!) Lastly, I've never seen a Guinness glass emblazoned with shamrocks... talk about pandering! Efes is amazing… and usually all you can find in Turkey.

Not because it's good or because I like it, but because it got to be the most widely available beer in the world. I don't know if I've ever been anywhere and not been able to get a Heiny, even if I'm usually passing it up for something else. I feel like Heineken deserves honorable mention.
