Hmmm, seems like a goal to me! Get in a licor store and get hammered trying to figure out what the best beer in the world is! Sounds like some b comedy movie stuff to me, but it'd stil be worth it, if it were to the sound of the Priest!
Because be it in Portugal, in the USA or Bangladesh, you've got to listen to the Priest while you're having your beer!

Microbrews in most major cities and even my local bar in Detroit had some 350 beers from around the world. Most on tap. I live in nowhere TN and can STILL find most of what I want...(grrr....save for Sheaf Stout!!!!).
Brazil has this horrible concoction (could be the same you describe) called "malzbier." I ask for a dark beer and they give me this sweet (as in diabetic level) SWILL! BLEAH!!! Horrible! Never seen it in Portugal but I am wary having tasted it once!
I still claim that we are the country that truly embraces beer. From all countries and microbrews. Most of you will never have a "Goose Island", an "Old Rasputtn" a "Sierra Nevada" (STOUT!!!). Canada is really the only country where I can TRY and find a store with some 350 beers from around the world. It takes some searching and a major city at that...
Here I am in nowhere, TN and I can drive 10 minutes to find a Xingu, a Mooshead, Becks, Sierra Nevada plus some fifty microbrews like Goose Island (312! Honkers!) or Detroit's Bell's Porter, Stout.
That rant off, me too...to bathe. Hasta la vista.

And I'd have to try that Oatmeal Stout! Never tried anything but Budweiser from the states.

As I have posted before, give me an Oatmeal Stout anyday (but I still stick by my Sagres comment....lol).

I guess you can tell by now I'm not too fond of Sagres ahah! And the moorish Castle's name in English would be something like the Castle of Sorrow. Awesome setting to imagina Sad Wings being played in! The pic of the priest cross on the rock just instantly reminded me of Excalibur! 
| | | guidogodoy wrote: | | Nope, wasn't the super bock. (Good beer, that....had a ton in Porto).
SAGRES! Damned if I didn't like it and I am quite the beer snob!
JP was with me the whole time (Moorish castle in Sintra pictured).
