If you ever go to Yurp and start drinking the real beer there, going back to American Bud will be like going back to a 56k modem or a dial telephone. It's like night and day.What's unfortunate is that many American brewers have started making some decent beers that hold up well against their European counterparts but A-B and Miller have forever destroyed the reputation of American beer. It's instinctive for many abroad to react to the mention of American beer in the same way as we would react to the mention of English beef. The fault lies mainly in Prohibition when the good Central European-immigrant founded small breweries were wiped out while big companies like A-B were able to survive on other products until it was repealed. After that you had the McDonaldization of marketing and distribution along with stiff tariffs on imports, assuring that legalized piss like Bud, Schlitz and Miller would become America's most popular brands. Fortunetely, American kids today are moving on to better products whether domestic or foreign. |
