Welcome folks! I worked in Danbury a few years back.
Where's the best beer? England, of course. You won't find real beer like Bitter/Ale in France. Loads of lager either regular, Dark (looks malty but is very sweet) or 'Blonde' which is a whiter colour and a creamy texture. What you really want to do is search out a bar/hotel that sells quality Belgian beers if you want something really malty. Some of these run to 11% and are best taken in small doses followed by 'the test'. The test being to attempt conversation about anything technical and still make sense and without spontaneously roaring with laughter when you f**k it all up! Actually forget that just drink it, smile at everyone and order me another, there's a good chap.
Have a great time. No scrap that - you WILL have a great time, I DEMAND IT!
