Three Cheers for 10 Must-Try Beers

10.       Murphy's Irish Stout (P180, The Distillery. Also available in some select bars)
Origin: A stout from Wales, UK
The lowdown: Made with chocolate malts and roasted barley, the taste has hints of coffee. "It's a well-balanced stout and tastes good all the time," says Raj. The canned 440 ml packs a surprise, too. A widget (nitrogen ball) inside the can allows the froth to slide to the top of a proper glass when poured out. "The moment oxygen enters the can it pushes pressure up. And when it finishes, it's picture perfect."

    Not a great article. Most of the beers are mentioned as being the most popular or best selling within a particular country. One was described as "You'll taste that it's stronger, ....... It also has a lot of aroma compared to the other ones." - Well, the same could be said about URINE! rnrn Not mentioned was the very best beer in the world - and very unknown (outside of Germany, and yes, they do make the best beer) - HACKER-PSCHORR BEER from Munich. It's pronounced (Hacker-Shore). Both varieties, light and dsrk, aré excellent. The blond version is smoother than silk, with a clean, delicious taste. Unlike many beers described in the article, you DON'T need lime or lemon "to bring out the flavor". Think about it: if you need lime or lemon to "bring out the flavor", then it wasn't that great of a beer in the first place!rnWith Hacker-Pschorr, the only thing you need to bring out the flavor is your lips. This is the very best beer in the world. Good luck finding it. Also worthy of mention is San Miguel from the Philippines. rnrn Paul Snyder in Miami

    If you like Corona Beer...then you\\\'ll love
    Pacifico Clara! It has a nice and crisp taste that just goes down the hatch perfectly on a hot summer day. This is an awesome beer for winding down your afternoons, and segues your appetite for a great dinner. (Not a surprise, Pacifico is also owned by the Group that produces Corona and Negra Modelo)

    A little comment on the Negra Modelo though, as tasty as it is, it seems a bit overpriced at 200 pesos--compared to the other brands listed, it comes across as an \\\"upscale\\\" beer. I find that rather amusing, since you can easily spot those beers in cheap Mexican eateries all over California, heh heh. But it DOES taste good, indeed.

    Of course after seeing Hoegaarden on the list, I had to contribute a funny sounding Beer name that actually exists-- CHIMAY BEER! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chimay_Brewery#Beers
    Ten minutes after laughing so hard when I first saw this beer, I finally decided to try one--I\\\'ve had the rouge, and it\\\'s quite good.

    Great Article.
    here are a few other beer that people might wana try.

    Guinness Foreign Extra, this one is really bitter with a high alcohol content. very thick beer. looks like motor oil. with a thick consistency. best when drunk in a glass, better when siped.
    Available in Unimart about 110.00 pesos *not to be tried first if your not used to bitter beer,

    Rouge Dead Guy Ale
    if you want to experiment try this first you will get hooked. slightly bitter with a sweet after taste. very easy to go down. you'll open up another one for sure.
    Available in Globar Beer Exchange in Makati.
    or Rustans or your local "upscale" bar/pub at the fort. 200.00 price.

    Warsteiner Premium Verum
    a pilsner. slightly dark golden color. you get a very different taste from the usual sanmig.
    great drunk out of the bottle or in a pilsner glass, if you have one.
    80.00 in shopwise.
