Akkurat Restaurang & Bar (Stockholm), 't Brugs Beertje (Brugge) and Kulminator (Antwerpen) all surely deserves a place in that list. :)

I'd like to see NERAX (New England Real Ale Exhibition) [in Somerville, MA] added to the list, too. Scores and scores of cask-conditioned ales from the US and the UK.

Planning trip to Rome in June and cannot find #67 Birreria l'Orso Eletricco anywhere. Any info would be appreciated.

You may want to look into Federal Jack's Brewpub in Kennebunkport, Me especially in the fall.

Hi Rick

We need to get you to Belgium Comes To Cooperstown in August 2008. 250+ Belgian and Belgian style beers, 6 bands, food, food,food, falconry, outdoor movies, camping, hot showers, bonfires, stars overhead. Did I mention 250+ Belgian and Belgian-style beers? That should move us into the top ten, at least :-)
