Dalmatian Coast beer Beer and awkward-looking chocolates purchased in Bled, Slovenia. Ironically, the happy Union made me less happy than normal Union. That said, on this and every trip I've been fortunate enough to take outside the US, after tasting as many local beers as I could, I ordered Belgian beer. So there's my vote for country with the best beer. But Chicago's Goose Island IPA and Michigan's Bell's Two Hearted make a deliciously strong case for the US.
