I find that coopers is fairly solid, but I wouldn't call it the best Australian beer. Little Creatures Pale Ale and White Rabbit Dark would probably be up there with my favorites. Then we have breweries like Matilda Bay, Monteiths and Vale making great beers and Gage and James Squire making pretty good ones.

Are you implying that Two Hearted is filtered?
I know for a fact that it's not.

It ranks pretty damn highly, but I like it because it doesn't smack you as hard with the hops, has a nice balance of citrus, malt, and pine, and basically doesn't use the OMGHOPS factor to avoid being a nuanced, well-made beer.

That being said, I fucking LOVE Ruination, Two Hearted is just a better go it, I have to be in the mood for something like Ruination.

I've tried maybe 20 different American beers (none of the huge brands) and I've never been blown away. Sure, some of them have been good, but there's been nothing I'd put up an effort to drink again. I guess I'm just really unlucky.

A few murrifats make a beer in their basement and suddenly they think they're the best beer country in the world. Tiny Belgium still produces more beers and they're almost all quality.

I don't get how you can put Germany above Czech Rep either.

Just count how many of the top beers and breweries are in the U.S.

You'll also happen to notice that this website is based off of aggregate reviews from across the world. Even if a large portion of those people are from the U.S. that just further proves the dedication to craft beer in the states. Stay mad dirty squatting Slave.

German beer is overrated. The Reinheitsgebot is nice and dandy, but it's also very restrictive in regards of creating new blends with interesting tastes, and these days most breweries are controlled by just a few big brands and most commonly available beer either tastes like old water or like dirty carpet.

Aussie here. Of the IPAs ive had, America has made the best ones.

I need to try more stouts but its hard to come across any imported stouts that arent Guinness, Guinness, Guinness or or that Double Chocolate shit.... Youngs i think. Terrible.

All the good stouts ive had here have been Australian. I just had a look online and my local bottle shop sells:
Sierra Nevada Stout & Marston's Oyster Stout as their only real imported stouts.

What are they like? Would particularly like to know how the Sierra Nevada is, ive tried their IPA and a couple of other varieties and they have all been top notch. Also interested in this one since im heading to Vegas next week so im sure it'll be fairly easy to find.

Yo Op.
I do like american beer a ton, but it seems like the practice in the US is to find a flavor you enjoy and make it more dominate. That Ruination you posted is actually the perfect example and it's good. I really do like it. But on the other hand (and in my experience) old world beers tend to layer and blend a little more effectively. Take a fullers ESB which is just fantastic and compare. It's a fine blend of flavors with a champagne like mouthfeel. In fact I think most websites tend to vote this way as well. Which explains the US dominance. Can you suggest a few US beers which may sway my opinion on this.
For what it's worth
1.Belgium
2.USA
3.England
4.Germany
After that I'm speaking out of my ass since I haven't had more than one or two beers from any other country.

Japan is rocking and rolling these days for microbrews. Still a heavy lean towards pilsners and wheat beers, but a lot of growth in ales/stouts/ipas.

Recommended from Japan, brewery and best beer:
Baird Beer (Suruga Bay IIPA and Ganko Oyaji Barley Wine)
Shiga Kogen (House IPA)
Minoh (Stout)
Isekadoya (Oyster stout)
Hitachino Nest (XH sake barrel aged ale)

i think you should look to really sought after stouts if you're looking for complex mouthfeel. of course maybe these just echo the "bigger" idea that you get, but i think a Dark Lord, Abyss, Parabola, Speedway, Angel's Share, or Old Viscosity are all pretty complex.

Not sure where you're at. Last time I was in San Diego both Baird Beers and Hitachino Nest were available at the Pizza Port bottle shop. The problem with Hitachino Nest's US distribution is that they focus mainly on their "japanese-y" sounding stuff like the Red Rice Ale or their White Ale neither of which are my favorites. I have seen the XH at Toronado SD before though.

Apart from the fact this list is bullshit and you can't rank entire countries produce on there, as well as most people having never drunk that many different countries, as well as only a few beers actually being exported fully around the world.

India needs to be on there because Kobra is delicious.

You're a little late to the conversation.

You also seem to be a bit uninformed.

When I first saw this thread I thought: "Well, Belgium and the USA are definitely the top two contenders for the country that make the best beer." And I really thought this would have been a better thread if it was just about whether Belgium or the US should be in first place.

If you are unaware that the US produces some of the best beer in the world, aside from Belgium, then you are seriously uninformed, and can legitimately be called naive for even posting in this thread.

Remember, america did not just spontaneously appear, it was settled by europeans (mostly germans and irish) and they brought all of their traditions with them and combined them with smaller immigrant groups leading to something that was better than the sum of its parts

Europe's tradition of making these things directly lead to america's current production just as much as it does modern europe

Also, america has always been known for its great meat, america has a hell of a lot more land for raising cattle, and high quality meat has always been much cheaper to produce in america than in europe leading to the expectation of higher quality meat even in lower classes or people who would have barely been able to afford any meat in europe

Also Wisconsin in america makes a lot of the worlds best cheese

>Oh and I suppose USA takes top spot for cheese and meat and bread too?

I am the anon you were responding to.

There is no legitimate analogy to be made between beer and cheese/meat/bread.

I don't really care to talk about cheese, meat or bread, as they are irrelevant to beer. (Yeah, we have a small handful of cheese/meat/bread producers here, but nobody who has been abroad is going to argue that they can compare to what is made in France, Italy, Spain, etc...).

Beer, on the other hand, is a completely different story. Unlike what this anon said - >>4308174 - U.S. beer doesn't really have THAT much to do with the fact that America is made up of a melange of different ethnic/cultural groups.

On the one hand, yeah, European traditions were obviously brought here and combined. But when it comes to beer, you really need to look at the prohibition era. There used to be hundreds of small breweries in the States before prohibition. But afterwards there were none, and that paved the way for fucking piss water lagers that went national and made the "common man" think that shit was what beer should taste like.

Fast forward to the 80's, and a few people started what are now called craft breweries. More and more people drank good beer, the process sped up, and today the US is literally saturated with people who care about beer making really fucking good beer for the love of it.

And guess what else? If a craft beer "movement" or "phenomenon" (or whatever you want to call it) has come about in your country, it is, without a doubt, because of the U.S.

Yeah, there are some good 300 year old beers, that have never changed, but unless you've actually sampled even the smallest amount of what America currently has to offer, you really don't have an argument to make.

except they aren't american beers at all, most of them are Inbev beers so they are europeans

The largest american breweries are Yuengling (which is kind of shit) and Boston Brewing (Sam Adams)

You thinking some european mass produced beer is a "typical american beer" just shows your ignorance, when people who know beer talk about america making the best beer in the world they are not referring to those beers, they are referring to beers that you are apparently too ignorant to be aware of

do you even know what domestic means?

Nestle and Kraft own half the food brands in the world but it doesn't stop products from being domestic to the country that they are made and sold in

those are the most popular beers in America that are made in America

you are living in denial

The current beer is hardly like the original formulation. Pretty sure 150 years ago they weren't using rice as the primary sugar source

The recipe has been stable for maybe a decade, but not too much longer than that

My Hyundai was made in a factory in Georgia and sold in america, that still doesn't make it an american car

I never claimed they weren't popular in america, thats completely besides the point. Stella Artois is the most popular beer in england, that doesn't make it an english beer

>eah, but they formulated it in America and they were Americans
and the original formula was good, better than what was popular in Germany at the time, but the current formulas are not the same

Before prohibition america made some of if not the best beer in the world and had a shot ton of great breweries. Then southern evangelical assholes ruined all of that and it took america a long time to recover, in the 80s the american beer scene was fucking terrible, but in the last couple decades they have solidified their spot at the top and sold off the shitty adjunct breweries in the process. Now amercian craft beers are seeing 15%+ growth annually as the big 3 lose marketshare

not nearly as many as there are in america these days. Craft beer has exploded in america over the last couple decades while Europe is just in the early stages of catching on right now. Europe has a long way to go to catch back up with america in the quality beer world.

But I guess you can feel good that your most popular beers are marginally less awful than bud light

truth:

anyone who believes that america isn't top of the craft beer scene right now is delusional or nationalist (simply puts their own country above another).

furthermore anyone who believes san diego is not the per capita best area for beer in the country is also delusional (alesmith, green flash, stone, lost abbey, pizza port, WHITE LABS). already own the best stouts pretty much, and though russian river does the best sours in the states currently societe in kearny mesa (SD) is run by some former RR brewers who are currently setting up to have sours... so..

I'm talking about common "American Beer", stuff like Budweiser. If you're referring to specific beers that are less commonplace, then I missed that.

Just because I don't like American beer doesn't mean I "know shit about beer". I'm part of CAMRA here in the UK, have you heard of that? Perhaps there's a similar American thing?

That feel when I live in a small American city and have 5 breweries within 40 miles.

I don't blame people in other countries for not knowing about good Ameican beer, because of course small batch stuff will never get exported. I imagine all beer drinking countries have lots of local breweries that make quality beer that people outside of their area have never tried and likely never will.

It's getting easier by the day to find good beer in the US. If you look at the graph on the number of breweries posted earlier you can see what we're up against. Today there are 2400 breweries fighting for 6% of the market. My point is that sales don't equal quality. The success of the macros here (and indeed most of the world) is mostly due to marketing and strong-arm tactics.
