On a related note, my brother took me out to a pub a couple of years ago where they specialized in making a wide variety of international beers available. My brother urged me to try a beer from Belgium, and I CANNOT FOR THE LIFE OF ME recall the name of it. It was a really awesome beer. I'm hoping someone here can help me out. It was a very bright yellow colour, and was really crisp and refreshing. There was a distinctive citrus flavour to it, almost like someone squeezed half a lemon in my pint. I know I'll remember the name if someone posts it.

Well Deebye you narrowed that down a bit.....now we only have 1453 beers to chose from. :D (do you mean Leffe, Stella or Maes?)
Seriously as I said in a beer-thread a few months ago here on the lounge, the best is to drink the beer from the region your in. So that means that even if I visit France, I drink french beer.
The big international brands often have breweries in different places and often the beer does not taste the same (like Heineken export for example).
So my advice: save your money for now (so don't buy these expensive foreign beers) and in some time go on holiday to europe. :D
It may seem as a bit of a stupid advice, (and I must say I also often drink foreign beers) but for example a Guinness tastes a lot better in a pub in Ireland. Plus you can often get more beers from the "thingie that pours beer but I don't know the english word" which is usually better than from bottles or cans.
If not..I liked Moose Drool...a beer they make in the area of yellowstone.
