Are there any countries that can actually keep up with American craft beers?

>inb4 angry Europeans try to bring up Bud Light
No one here thinks it is good. Plus Anheuser-Busch is owned by Europeans.

I think a cold Bud Light is good when it's 95F outside and being outside for a few hours makes you sick. Near/small beer used to be a common drink just for when you're thirsty and that's what it should be treated as, I wouldn't sit down and drink one if I wanted something really good and tasty.

Germany? Belgium? Even England produce better beer than American pisswater or over-hopped “craft”shit

A pint anywhere in germany is better than most of your craft shit.
Not only that, but any beers above "fucking awful" quality are marked up to high hell.

Confirmed for never having an American beer. Most of them are regional and do not have the capacity to distribute across the entire country, let alone to Europe.

When I've looked at the imported section of an alcohol store I see the same mixture of good and bad coming from Europe. There are plenty of overly sweet and artificially flavored or bland beers being made in Europe.

You'd probably like something like pic related from USA, it's simple but not bland. Some people think it's too strong tasting. Thinking that USA only has weak watery beers is outdated.

same can be said of most european beers and american distribution.

99% of american craft beers are mediocre or worse. germany produces superior lagers. belgium produces a lot of very good beers.

You're not going to find a single beer to represent the dozens of styles being made. Yuengling is just something simple that's available in a lot of grocery stores but it's decent.

Exactly, it’s the “go to” beer that people say is better than drinking a bud light, but it still isn’t good.

You probably think all American craft beers are just some of those coffee-bloodorange-chocolate tripple IPAs because you’ve never actually tried one more often than that one time you had a shitty craft beer and decided that all craft brewers in the entire country are exactly the same. There’s so much variety, including very traditional styles of beer like hefeweizens or brown ales, hell American craft brewers can give Belgians a run for their money when they decide to make a standard witbier.

[Anonymous No.9970068]

>>9970031
That happens with other things too though. Hot sauces being made as hot as possible for example, when most people just want something that tastes good. It was a fad for a while because most people never tasted anything like that before but I noticed most people who were all about IPAs started realizing that more hops doesn't necessarily make it better and they stop being so obsessed with them.

There's going to be a market for gimmicky beers for people who aren't that invested in appreciating them or for people who are just starting out with their interest and don't really know what's good yet, but there are plenty of 'regular' beers being made too like trippels, sours, stouts, etc. and some are pretty good.

>i know nothing about the current craft beer scene since I'm still in middle school and just follow memes.
Dude, the craft beer scene is movjng in completely different directions. Sure, every craft brewery still has 1 or 2 IPA's for the kids, but most have transitioned to Alts, Kolsch, Sours, Belgian Trippels, Stouts, etc. IPA's are condidered babby's first craft brew nowadays.

No, they watered it down to appeal to the primarily anglo palate. That's why the only decent food in amerilardistan comes from ethnic populations like the cajuns, blacks and mexicans. Everything else is shit-on-a-stick.

From the dawn of civilization, there has been a general trend of the best and brightest people and societies emerging further and further north and west of Mesopotamia. The rise and decline of Egypt, Greece, Rome, The Holy Roman Empire, and Britain all follow this path. We're currently on top, but if the trend continues, then we'll be usurped by China or Russia eventually, possibly sooner rather than later.
