Belgium.  One of these years I want to make a walking, or rather staggering,
tour of the place, from brewery to brewery.

A number of years ago I saw an article that claimed that in WWI, the German
army conquered Belgium particularly slowly.  One brewery at a time. :-)  There
was an accompanying picture if a line of grinning German soldiers all holding
bottles and standing before one of those breweries.

(Recently discovered Grottenbier [or a spelling close to that], which makes
the wonderful Chimay truly pale in comparison.)
