Interesting - I only see Belgium as a producer of beers I drink to get drunk, not to enjoy. I far prefer the Bavarian beers, if we are looking at lagers or pilsners (remember Stella is a lager), or British real ales (as defined by CAMRA - http://www.camra.org.uk/)

That said, I tried the local SF brew Anchor Steam yesterday (Robotic gave me good advice) and it was excellent. A bitter, hoppy brew.
