Drinking in China is like your drinking on another planet I must say.

Stella > Maes > Jupiler. STANDARD. I really don't like Jupiler. I'd also rather prefer lots of more "local" pilsners like Estaminet, Bel or Adler over Jupiler.
And the only excuse for drinking Cara is when you're at a festival or you're so low on cash you can't afford to get drunk on something else (true story).
Oh and about foreign pilsners, the best I drunk, I think, because I'm not sure, was Schladminger in Austria. It's your typical standard beer but it definitely was better than the shit I got served in Spain, Egypt, ...
I'm not an expert on trappist beers or abbey beers though. In general, I'm not a real fan of heavy beers or darker beers. I do like Orval, Guiness and others though.

In Belgium lots of people would light you on fire for that. Just sayin'.
Also people saying that Stella is light for them.. Ofcourse it's light. Stella's a pilsner, pilsner's are always light. If Stella's a heavy beer for you, then, wow..
On the other hand you're lucky because you don't need much money to get drunk.
And here it isn't expensive, it's only expensive because it's imported as some people already said.

American beers are the one, I pay tenner a pint for some imported american beers
this is a nice american lager, you can actually taste it
general rule, if it's a light green bottle you don't want it
tenner a pint?!?!
fuck that mate
can get Sierra Nevada in the Tesco up the road from me
same with Brooklyn though they dont have the dark one
didn't really rate the Brooklyn light beer anyway
SN is nice with food, dont like the tang after one on its own though
Kirin Beer is nice
cant really remember any others i've drank i've really enjoyed
Dunham Dark is nice but its long for me to go anywhere near where they sell it
plus the pub is full of smelly old people who resent my youth and vitality with every crevice on their old farmed faces

Although Red Stripe will always be number one in my mind and heart.
Red Stripe is seriously so overhyped. This is a real Jamaican beer.
7%, but you can't even taste the alcohol in it. It's incredible

those ones aren't tenner a pint, sierra nevada 'torpedo' (not the bog standard sierra nevada pale ale) is about a fiver a pint but that's cask not bottle
brooklyn is relatively cheap and I think it's a nice alternative to stella yuk
plus they are american. No idea why an American would want to import beers when they have stuff like that on their doorstop canny cheap (no import costs)

u crazy man, urquell is the only good pilsner out there (however I can understand just not liking pilsners at all).
You should try Czechvar...although I think they call it Budvar in Europe.

Drinking a Duvel when you're already fucking pissed is like a suicide mission.

This is by far my favourite. The liquor store by my house stopped selling it though. It's a half decent wheat beer, not like the weak shit that passes for wheat beer around here. I also quite enjoy Warsteiner, although all the german exchange students made fun of me for drinking it.
I'm not sure what's considered "high class", but there's some microbrewery imports at the liquor store by me for a$5-8 per 330 mL bottle. Called Raasted or something like that. I'm too poor to try them though
