Question: Why do Americans love such poor quality and bad tasting beer!?
I think the top selling beer in the USA is rated in the bottom 50 of the world!. ((www!.ratebeer!.com))Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
First and foremost, advertising plays a huge role in all choices of American consumers!. Beers like Budweiser, Coor's Light, etc!. go to great lengths to carve an image for themselves that consumers identify themselves with!. This coupled with the tendency of American consumers to gravitate towards perceived value leads to a lot of pretty lame beer consumption!.

Although Americans definitely consume a ton of substandard beer,a sweeping comment that all Americans like poor quality beer is pretty naive!. That's like saying Brits only like bland food!. There are a ton of high quality beers made and consumed in the US!. In fact, six of the top ten on the website provided are made in the US!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Don't judge us part one!.!.!. The top selling beers in Europe last year was American Budweiser and the top selling in Australia (Tooheys) is garbage as well!. Besides!.!.!. the bad ones are all based on Germany's recipe anyway!.

Don't judge us part two!.!.!. American Craft beer is considered to be among the best in the world!. Second only to Belgian brews!. Michael Jackson, The Beer Hunter, considered it to be one of his favorites!. MJ is considered the Godfather of beer!.!.!. It was a sad day when we lost him last year!.

In short!.!.!. Just because all you know about American beer is rice brewed piss water doesn't mean we don't have good beer here!. Dark Lord from Indiana USA is currently rated number one in the entire world!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I drink all sorts of beer from Keystone to Killians, from Pilsner to Porter!. Every beer has it's place!.

Plus, the US in general has nice weather, unlike most of Europe, so trying to have 8 stouts during a day at the beach (where you don't need an overcoat) really isn't that appealing!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I guess it's the same reason Europeans like their alcoholic beverages insanely weak!. Pourers on bottles that restrict overpouring!. And that not one bartender understood what a "double" was!.

If I have to bring a flask to beef up my drink, we're gonna have problems!.

And PS!.!.!. stop being crappy tippers when you eat out at restaurant in the US!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Don't blame Americans for their bad beer!.!.!. blame the German immigrants that started these breweries!.

also, why would the USA worry or compare their beer to the rest of the world!? We don't follow we lead!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

In my experience, it seems to be quantity over quality!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I'm american!. I hate american beer! I've got no clue why ppl like it!.!.!.!.!.but who would want to drink cold carbonated piss!?
