Answer 1

I would suggest to stay in Belgium. You have a lot of nice towns and a lot of breweries.
The difference with the other countries is that in Belgium you have a lot of different beers with other flavours, strongness. In other countries you have a lot of BRANDS of lager but not the different kind of beers. (Koln, I was there and there are a lot of breweries that almost all make a kind of lager (found it not to be compaired with Belgian beer).
For an example, in Belgium the smallest café has minimum 2 brands of lager, geuze, kriek, abbay beer, Trappist, amber beer. In the small village I live our café has all the Trappist beers, 3 kind of lager beers, 3 gueze beers, Kriek (cherry geuze), 10 kind of special beers, a beer of the month, ... The pub owner told me last that he had more than 30 brand of beer.
There is only one beer you wont find in a self respecting pub in Belgium : Heineken, no self respecting Belgian would ever drink that "beer".
In Brugge, Brussels, Leuven (cheap city because of the students (always thirsty but without much money)), you can find beer pubs with 100 and more beers and all with there very special glass to drink it.

Answer 2

Depends on whether you like lager and just want to get drunk or like beer and want to taste different beers (maybe getting drunk as a result.)
If the latter, Belgium is your first choice, although Amsterdam has some top cafes (places to drink beer) too.
If you just want to get drunk on lager or pilsner, go to a country where it is cheap so you get more beer for your pounds, to make up for the travel costs.
Belgium and the Netherlands will be rather expensive just to get lathered. Staying in England will be cheaper.
(I assume you are from England, if you are from somewhere else, the same basics apply but the difference is how much you pay at home.)

Every town in the Netherlands worth the name has a beers cafe, those all have a website or at least a web recommendation.
The farther you travel south towards Belgium, the more local brews you'll find.
In Belgium there are many more beers, local as well as national, and you can try them in most places, villages as well as town.

If you just want Heineken, go for the cheapest 'flight and hotel' packet, that way you will spent the least on the surroundings you will not notice unless with a hangover.

Answer 3

I'd recommend Brugge in Belgium. It's a beautiful city, very charming. There are a good amount of bars and restaurants, though its not necessarily a party town.

Amsterdam is a good choice too. You have the Heiniken Experience, a sort of Beer Museum/Attraction Park. Amstel also has a similar thing in Amsterdam.

Answer 4

Try Koln (Cologne) in Germany where they have several local breweries and tours are available. Or Munich for the Oktoberfest.
