Awesome stamp

I was going through some stamps I got from a friend this week and found this.

It was issued by Belgium in 1986 to mark "100 years of the beer." Or more accurately an anniversary of the nation's beer industry. Nice.

Funny, I can look at this over and again and not feel the need to run out and drink a beer. But you won't ever see anything similar on a US stamp. Pity that. Come to think of it though, I think there was a stamp depicting a cask being destroyed on a stamp commemorating the prohibition era. Spilled alcohol we can put on a stamp. More's the pity.

Prost!
