Haven't had a chance to taste any US micro brews, but that brings to mind that my old band and I (four guys) decided last christmas we're going to present each other with a bottle of beer this year, so everyone gets three bottles of great beer no one of us has ever had the chance to taste before for christmas. Great idea, huh?
And I'm still looking. Any recommendations?

windmills, tulips, wooden clogs; all tourist nonsense..
weed, cannabis, ganja: it should be forbidden for tourists..

no matter which foreign country you visit, it's always the same predictable question the moment people find out you're a Dutchie..
"You got some....?"
"No, sorry.. Left it in my windmill..."

[plantaginate]

really? you guys live in windmills?
wow. cool.

American beers, particularly Bud, are nearly identical in taste to the shit found in the Czech Republic; the country that influenced Busch's brews. The urban legend is that Bud got weaker after prohibition in order to make more profit, but the fact is that it's always been the same piss...that originated in Europe.

ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE!
Budweiser (and Staropramen!) bought in the Czech Republic tastes great and is also reasonably stronger!
It's the watered-down export dishwater that sucks.

Budvar in the Czech Republic tastes much nicer than American Budweiser.

That Americans are convinced that everybody wishes they were US citizens.
( Jealousy we think is the reason other people around the globe say mean things about us. )

Most people get more education about the world off of TV and their favorite radio personality than they did in school.
This is our governments failure IMO, but it still seems to ring true.

We eat badly, and watch too much TV.

Also, American beers are mostly crap, can't be blamed on czech beer. Only similarity is the love of lagers.

Beyond that, it's a big country without a long ethnic history, so hard to get solid stereotypes.

My favorite state of Oregon has some of the best micro brews around

[leedsquietman]

America has some great micro brew beers, like most countries, it's just the big business mega brewers whose beer saturates the market which is rotten.

beer snobs

Oregon indeed has some fine brews (got some Deschutes IPA in the fridge, sitting between a Bass Pale and a Hoegaarden). I think what makes a unique US brew is the hoppy ale. They took the British IPA and got a little out of control by hopping the shit out of it. My personal favorite at the moment is Bells Two Hearted Ale.

And there are subtle differences to the stereotypical piss brews. You can never go wrong with a 30 pack of ice cold cans of Pabst Blue Ribbon. Blatz and Miller High Life are alright too. All the Busch and Coors products can kiss my ass. If you want to taste the most depressing beer in all creation get yourself a Bud Light.

Hateful lies. Czech beer is brewed by gypsies ( not a stretch since everyone East of Berlin is a fucking gypsy ) and it's every bit as fucking nasty as it's American counterpart.

German beer is just as wretched. You know who loves German beer? Germans. lol.

Newcastle Brown, ftw. Or Sam Smith nut.

You, good sir, have obviously never tasted our beer. I kindly ask you to refrain from acting on a false assumption.
