Belgium: Not Just Chocolates Anymore

Anyone who's into beer knows that Belgium is famous for two things: getting invaded, and making great brew. Oh, yes, and there's the chocolate. But let's take one empty-calorie delicacy at a time, shall we? Anyways, this here online guide to Belgian beer is the best I've yet seen. The pronunciation guide to the various styles (with sound clips) is to die for, while the "Comparative Tasting" section gives you the straight poop on what's best in a host of categories. Oh, and don't forget to explore of Belgian beer glasses. As you'll see, these folks treat the medium of conveyance almost as seriously as the brew itself. Now this is a country I could live in!
