The Best Beers In The World

Who doesn’t like a chilled slurp of beer? If you say yes – we despise you. If you do – well welcome to the pack. Loving your beer isn’t a matter of free will, or even sophistication. You either like it, or you don’t.

Here at The I Bug, we love our beer. In fact, we love our beer so much that on a particularly slow afternoon we downed quite a few bottles, which in turn incited a heated discussion about what makes a beer stand out and make us sway with the humid breeze infiltrating our lives at the moment. So here’s what we think about beer; welcome to our quintessential The Best Beers In The World list.

Note: We request moderate intoxication during reading. Cheers!
