I'm trying to widen my appreciation of national beers and styles outside the UK and a year ago decided to check out what's available from Germany.   The results were have been variable.  There are some bars and bottle shops out there that stock German beers but not many.  Can you suggest some places and beers for me to try?

As for US beers, well … there's so much out there and most of it seemingly still in the US and unlikely to ever escape.  Other than taking the plunge and compiling a few mail orders from Beer of Europe, I don't know where to begin.  Again, can anyone steer me in the right direction?

In return, I'll gladly help anyone wanting to find out more about Belgian beers or places and bars to visit in Belgium or the UK. 🙂
