Becks is seriously one of the worst German beers, does anyone in Germany actually choose to drink it for any reason other than it's cheap or what? In the Mecca of beer why would anyone willingly drink this? There has to be literally hundreds of better beers.

I'm from Australia, I know well people drink shit beers because they are popular. We only have a few decent commercial breweries, the rest are all mass produced swill.

From an Australian standpoint Bud is not a bad beer at all, try VB or Tooheys Extra Dry for a really shit beer expirience, tastes like sewage. I think West End Draught is actually made from filtered shit-water.

I've actually looked for VB because of how terrible it apparently is. They do not sell it in the US whatsoever. I know that sewage thing though. Bad beer smells and tastes like the water that collects in the bottom of a garbage can.

VB is terrible and you should totally buy it to see for yourself, it is totally the working class beer and for 80's immigrants that is all they drink because it was the cheapest thing when they moved here.

we go not have great breweries, we have good/acceptable breweries. Coopers, James Boag and Little Creatures would be either acceptable (in the case of Boags) or a pleasant novelty in other cuntries. We were pretty much 100 percent British immigrants until after WW2 so it makes sense we have a taste for the more abrasive ales and such.

If I wanted something cheap, I'd drink Oettingers. At least it's still palatable. Even then though, most beers in Germany are cheap to begin with.

In the UK the only cheap beer you can get is fosters/stella/carlsberg etc. and some shit-tier bitter/ale.

Beck's was actually pretty good before InBev bought the company. They've been using the brand to sell cheaply produced crap.
