Yes I’ve been tempted to try BoE as I can tick off about 12 countries but the thought of buying a bunch of basic lagers sort of puts me off. Maybe I’ll mix and match with some decent stuff.

The Collective Arts case sounds great. I’ll be keeping an eye out for this. Thanks for the tip.

One of my local farm shops (the new swanky one) had a few beers from Collective Art so they get quite good distro.

I’m really digging all the improvements in the Reginal Stats department and TBH it feels like the most active RB has been since the ABinBev was announced as a investor.

All down to a trip to Oxford in the summer, when we were allowed to go places!

Saarland has not many breweries and craft-beer is hard to find. But if you have a local “source”, it’s quite easy to get the newest releases :beers:
We moved now back to the Düsseldorf-Area, but my in-laws still live in the Saarland - so if COVID permits, we’ll visit them every few weeks so that our kids can spend time with their grandparents :child: And I can find the newest beers down there, of course :beer:

@Erzengel , I have a friend who lives in Remich (LUX) and he has taken us to a couple of brewpubs in Saarland when we stayed with him. Been a while since we went that way, but he is the reason I have a few more Luxembourg and Saarland rates compared to most British ratebeer chaps.

I’m loving the new region stats, something I’ve been wanting for ages. It gives me a new impetus for Scotland rates especially (I stopped targetting Scottish rates once I’d hit 100 and coloured the map darkest blue).

I’m a little sad there’s no maps to colour in for the new ones, but hopefully that will come with time. Gradually colouring in the regios maps darker and darker is definitely a highight of the site for me (sad, I know!).

Not sure if this is useful for those in Britain and Ireland in the coronatimes, but Amsterdam is slowly becoming an easier place to find decent Canadian beers. Almost all of them are from Ontario and Quebec, though.

One brewery in British Columbia (Steamworks in Vancouver, which I would classify as pretty okay) is fairly widely available in Germany, especially in bigger cities. I remember sharing a few bottles of Steamworks beer that I got from a convenience store while watching the Grand Départ of the Tour de France in Düsseldorf a couple of years ago.

I do get trips to the States and to Italy but basically I am a hometown guy with low scores beyond Nottinghamshire. As a result it was a pleasant surprise to find that I had spread my love around the regions in a couple of cases notably Belgium and Germany despite low totals and I have a case of Belgian beers on the way to keep me going. If only I had been rating during a one month stay in Vancouver my Canadian total would look hugely different and I know I was in Toronto too early to enjoy the craft scene there. Given that the English county thread has set many of us thinking about visiting English haunts when allowed, I wonder if I will add significantly to these non-European numbers from my Italian refuge. Collective Arts from Ontario do excellent stuff. Bushwakker from Saskatchewan was in Wetherspoons and was pretty poor I remember. Judging by my scores (3.6 and 3.7) Pirate Life of S. Australia is one to keep an eye out for!

At the moment, with Brexit having just completed, no where on mainland Europe is particularly useful until they organise how the posting of goods is going to work … and hopefully not at a silly cost !

I did an order from Amsterdam in November, From BeerDome, great choice from the USA … didn’t really look into Canada as my basket quickly accelerated close to €300 !

I have had all English counties a few years now, and also all German Bundesländer. As Belgium is in now, it seems I have all provinces there too. But I still lack several in Canada and Australia - not many beers from over there make it to Norway, I’m afraid. I still miss some USA states too. I was a bit surprised that I lack two counties in Scotland (Ayrshire and Dumfries & Galloway), but I hope to straighten that out when this f*&#§! travel ban is lifted - after all, I live near Stavanger, with just a little more than 1 hour’s direct flight to Aberdeen, Edinburgh or Newcastle.
