I love both beer and wine and although I have not traveled as much, I have tasted a few foreign beers. I like dark Mexican beers. My favorite: Indio. It is not easy to come by in Texas, but anytime I take a trip to Mexico, I bring a case. Totally worth it. You are very lucky to have experienced what you just described.

It takes guts to say this in certain crowds. It is on the par of saying you are an "atheist" in a room full of fundamental christians. You instantly get the feeling that you have just been judged as less worthy. I remember my first exposure in a social setting to beer. Admittedly a late bloomer, at the age of 19 I was invited to my first college dorm party where beer was in abundance. I drank it and can't say I really liked it at the time. Of course, it was only 3.2% -- so watery tasting -- is there any wonder? Fast forward to today -- 30 countries later with a little living behind me, I have become more confident about myself and my choices. I have learned to appreciate that there are many things to explore and enjoy about beer. I have experienced real "smoke beer" in Bamberg, Germany where it originated, (http://worldofbeer.com/9903/bamberg1.html) and have fond memories drinking a cold glass of fresh beer in a beer garden overlooking the picturesque rolling hills of the German countryside. My preference today? I like dark beers and order them whenever I get a chance. Sassy confession time: “I prefer beer to wine.”
