theres "a good beverage" in every culture.. as a whole Japan has pretty shit alcohol.

I've tasted some good sake but their prices weren't worth the bother. Could get a good bottle of single malt for that.

And? It's still the UK.
No different to how the US claims that if a brit moves there and brings their scientific or musical or whatever prowess with them it's now American.
Same as everything over there.

American beer is utterly terrible.
How you even dare use anything but Water, Malt, Hops and Yeast is a mystery to me.
And yet your beer is pretty much tasteless.
What you're making isn't beer, it's dishwater.

You can't buy Budweiser in any normal shop here, because it can't be sold as beer.
And I wouldn't base my criticism on the most popular beer, because then you'd have to judge german beer based on Öttinger, which wouldn't have a very good result.
The most popular beers are usually pretty bad.
Few years ago a friend of mine brought a variety of american beers (including craft beers and beers that sought to imitate german beer brands) from a vacation in the USA and...I was not impressed.
The Hefeweizen tasted stale, the Pilsner (Of which I'm not a huge fan) tasted either like tap water or were fucking sour. (Actually, maybe that one went bad somehow, I can't imagine that was intentional)
To be fair, some of the Stouts were fine, but couldn't get close to THE Stout, the best beer ever made.
And it seems like there aren't many Schwarzbier (Black Lager) brands, which is one of my favourite kinds of beer.
But then, there was a Porter (And I don't really like Porter anyway) that was actually made with vanilla. That was one of the most disgusting beers I ever drank, only Desperados was worse.
Maybe Craft Beer is pretty important in the USA, considering the low quality of the mass-produced beers, but here it's not necessary and a lot of the variations with fancy ingredients can't be sold as beer anyway.

I'm greek and when I visited berlin I went to several of those fast food stands that specialize in sausages and I was never particularly impressed. I think it was the choice of spices or something. I can get better sausages from my local butcher, and for cheaper too.
