I have never been anywhere in my travels that can compare to American beers. Microbrews in most major cities and even my local bar in Detroit had some 350 beers from around the world. Most on tap. I live in nowhere TN and can STILL find most of what I want...(grrr....save for Sheaf Stout!!!!).

Brazil has this horrible concoction (could be the same you describe) called "malzbier." I ask for a dark beer and they give me this sweet (as in diabetic level) SWILL! BLEAH!!! Horrible! Never seen it in Portugal but I am wary having tasted it once!

I still claim that we are the country that truly embraces beer. From all countries and microbrews. Most of you will never have a "Goose Island", an "Old Rasputtn" a "Sierra Nevada" (STOUT!!!). Canada is really the only country where I can TRY and find a store with some 350 beers from around the world. It takes some searching and a major city at that...

Here I am in nowhere, TN and I can drive 10 minutes to find a Xingu, a Mooshead, Becks, Sierra Nevada plus some fifty microbrews like Goose Island (312! Honkers!) or Detroit's Bell's Porter, Stout.

That rant off, me too...to bathe. Hasta la vista.

LMAO Mario Bros is cool! I played the original for the first time in years on our flights to and from London earlier this year, was great fun! We had a Sega MasterSystem II when I was younger, my dad became addicted to Alex Kidd

Flora has Sims, it's not for me. No solving involved, no guns! Just not my forte. She kept hitting a cheat she found and made alien babies on Sims. LOL

LOL the only PC game I ever got in to was the Sims. I liked making them do 'woohoo' and make other Sims cry lol I had a weird Sim in Sims 2, one of its aspirations was to do 'woohoo' with 7 different Sims in the bushes

There is not a big PC Game industry the way there used to be. I used to play PC games all the time, now the stream has almost run dry, shame!

We're such a small country and we bicker about the northern (Super Bock) against the southern (Sagres) beers! Hell yeah, that's the true spirit! Gallons get drank and we haven't reached a verdict, since 1927

And I'd have to try that Oatmeal Stout! Never tried anything but Budweiser from the states.

HAAAAA!!! Somehow it doesn't surprise me that you don't like Sagres. Sort of like when I am in Brazil and they all DIE to try a freaking Budweizer! BLEAH!!! Can't stand it!

As I have posted before, give me an Oatmeal Stout anyday (but I still stick by my Sagres comment....lol).

LMAO I used to do that too haha. We don't have a Timezone where I live (not as far as I've seen) and I wouldn't really go there anyways. All the 'ganster' teenages usually hang around inside and outside them, I don't like hanging about a bunch of losers like that lol.

Sagres?! Oh Judas Priest, what on earth were you thinking?

I guess you can tell by now I'm not too fond of Sagres ahah! And the moorish Castle's name in English would be something like the Castle of Sorrow. Awesome setting to imagina Sad Wings being played in! The pic of the priest cross on the rock just instantly reminded me of Excalibur!

I do love when a  machine is broken and it gives you twice the amount of tickets it should! Love it! They rip you off, so why not get a little something for free sometimes. LOL

Last one...this was taken by the Australians. As you say, great couple of guys you tend to meet on vacations. Father actually lived in Portugal and son came from Australia for a reunion.

Glad to have met them. Like that 9,900 foot shot of me in Utah, these were the only two guys I ever saw up that high in the coolest fog that overtook us. Still, JP on my mind!

Haha, It's always good when you've got someone to help you cheat. I once found a machine with it's tickets half hanging out... Worked out that i could pull them out., ended up with about 100 more tickets... hahaha.

LMFAO!!! We have Timezone in Australia. Me and my Brother used to sneak into the Evil Dead game... It had a black curtain around it because the game was rated MA 15+ ... Also, do you have that Big Bessie game?? You have to throw balls in her mouth (MEGA LOL) Her mouth opens and shuts... One of us would keep a look out and the other would climb up the side of the machine and feed the balls straight into her mouth so we would get maximum tix. 
And I don't remember the name but it has the Circles like a dartboard, with holes going up the middle. Each hole has a different points score. We used to do the same... Climb up the side of the machine and drop the balls into the highest points score hole. 
Of course we also cheated on that game with the snapping crocodiles... They slide out and you have to hit them with the batton... Screw that! We used to team up and take 3 crocs each.. hit them with our hands.

Hiked it, actually.

This is the higher castle from where I took a shot of the Moorish one.
Second is hiking down to the Moorish castle as you can see the fog come rolling in. Met a great father and son from Australia who showed me a great back route through the forest back to the city. Good couple o' blokes!

WOW! Very impressive view! Did you take a chopper tour or just over on the next peak? I'll have to load some more of my pictures from Greece and post them in Ron's Vacation thread to drag it back up the board.  I really like that photo!

Jumped after it? Not down THAT freakn' mountain! This is a shot from a castle that sits even higher. The previous close-up is from the highest point of the Moorish castle pictured below. Cool fog blew down on us. Couldn't see a foot in front of your face by the end of the day. Made it off that mountain post-haste.

Nope, wasn't the super bock. (Good beer, that....had a ton in Porto).

SAGRES! Damned if I didn't like it and I am quite the beer snob!

JP was with me the whole time (Moorish castle in Sintra pictured).
