I usually assume when Europeans complain about American beers, they just are complaining about our “domestic” beers like Bud Light, Coors, PBR, etc. which makes sense, they are our bottom shelf beers.
I recently chatted with someone at a party who said “no, all American beers are bad” including microbrewery beers.
I’ve never been to Europe so I wouldn’t know, but I do like my Left Handed Milk Stout, NWPAs, and hell even the hipstered out IPAs.
Are these what y’all are referencing?
You don’t even have to go as far as Europe. Canadians and Mexicans also think of American beer as water+.
There’s almost no good beer in Mexico
I wouldn’t know, I’ve never had Mexican beer. I just know my Mexican friends here in Canada love our beer and agree that American beer is just water with extra steps.
Then I would suggest actually trying American beer. Judging American beer by only trying BudMillerCoors would be like judging Canadian beer only trying Labatt’s or judging Canadian donuts by only trying Timbits AFTER the Burger King takeover.
Who says I haven’t tried American craft beer. I’m half American, dawg.
The opinion you previously gave is proof that it is an uninformed opinion.
