Eurosnob. You said that you don't even like beer very much. I've had beer from all over the world both here and in Europe. There are lots of microbrew beer in the US that are just as tasty as beer that you will find anywhere.

Thank you, I couldn't agree with you more, and you said it better than I could have said it. THEY aren't "right" any more than we are "right", it's all tastes and preferences. Many knock our micro brew beer just because it's "American".
Personally I don't like the taste in many foreign beers, especially Dutch and Belgium beers (Yes I know AB is now Belgium, but they are using an American recipe not a Belgium recipe), I just don't like that taste that beers like Heineken, Stella, Amstel, Grolsch, etc has. I can't pinpoint it, but I don't like the "extra" taste. I do like German beers, but there is also a certain taste there that I have to be in the mood for.
I much prefer many of our own American microbrew beers best.
And that is not "right or wrong", taste is personal. SMAZ is knocking Americans for having a different taste than he has. They are not "wrong" any more than he is "wrong". Personal taste can't be "wrong or right".

FWIW I usually drink Guinness when I'm out a bar, but I do try lots of different beers both foreign and domestic. I don't experiment with lots of pilsners like the two Bud's. I might try the Czech Bud if I had the chance, but it's not high on my list.

I also like trying different beers. Some I like, some I hate. But that's "my" taste. I did have a Czech beer a week or two ago that I liked, but I forgot the name. It tasted like an American clean tasting (as Smaz put it "taste of nothing"), but I like that sometimes. It had a little more "kick" than an American light beer, but it tasted somewhat similar.
