Why do Americans have such shit beer?

Why do Americans have such shit beer?

And why do they drink it?

Budweiser is the Coca Cola of beer and it's delicious

Imo there's more good adjunct lagers than bad in the US
Bud heavy is a good, inoffensive, an relatively cheap beer that is perfect for drinking after mowing the lawn on a hot summer evening

>Bait.txt

>good
>adjunct lager

choose one. "good" is a purely subjective taste, and there are undoubtedly plenty of threads on Veeky Forums about fast food and garbage frozen dinners, so I can't say that this thread dosen't belong. But fucking come on. It's "good" for people without self respect. it's "good" for people that simply do not know better. It's "good" for people who couldn't call themselves fans of beer with a straight face or sincerity in their voice.

To answer OPs question "And why do they drink it?" Well, in short it's America's beverage. It cannot legally be called "beer" due to the presence of rice being greater in volume than the presence of barley, therefore becoming a different beverage altogether. It simulates the aesthetic qualities of a real beer (effervescence, foamy head, chilled) and for most it's the most pleasing vehicle for alcohol to enter the bloodstream.

>it's America's beverage
yet owned by dirty foreigners

>being so OBSESSED with america you necro threads from page 10
kek

I have 4chanx filter threads that have "beer" in the original post so they show up first.

I just had myself a hearty kekkle for that one

no you don't

Okay if that's how you feel it's fine
It's beer in the United states, and I stand by what I say about beers of this style
They have a very inoffensive flavor profile. They don't taste particularly good, but they are not supposed to. They are balanced so as to appeal to the taste of the majority of the intended demographic and most adjunct lagers do a good job of that.
Craft beer is huge in the United states nowadays as well, but I'm not gonna spend 10$ for a six pack of beer I just want to relax and sip on after a hard day of work on the house.

America has the best beer in the world.

Nobody drinks shitty adjunct lagers anymore.

you just made that now, faggot
lmao
anyway that's clearly vanilla extension not 4chanx so your credibility is zero

You literally just made that filter so you could win an internet argument

This. Craft brew or nothing. Unless you're an alcoholic and need a lot of beer for cheap.

Just like nazigermany

What a weird thing to be incredulous about, but back to the discussion...

In any given state, only 5% of the beer consumed was created in that state, the other 95% consisting of big-name craft and mass produced adjunct lager.

What I don't get is how poorly thought out it is to buy adjunct lager "to get drunk"

A 6 pack of Bud Light at $6.99 contains 3.024 ounces of alcohol, averaging out to $2.31. A 4 pack of Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA at $9.99 contains 4.32 ounces of alcohol, averaging out to $2.31 per ounce of alcohol.

You literally pay 42% more for double the quality and more alcohol for less filler. Adjunct lager is nothing more than a misinformed purchase.

>IPA
>Quality

>Nobody drinks shitty adjunct lagers anymore.
Bullshit.

OFFICIAL DOMESTIC LIGHT BEER RANKINGS

Miller > Bud > Coors

Big adjunct lager brands tend to go on sale more often, making it the better purchase for people who like shit beer. Tradition is also a major factor. My dad still drinks the occasional bud because it was all he had when he was a young man.

You're not getting me this time. Last time someone talked down on my beloved hop juice, I totally sperged out and wrote a novella on why Veeky Forums fails to live up to my expectations.

Good question. Prior to prohibition almost every medium sized city and most bars brewed their own beer. This resulted in very unique styles by region. During prohibition, the larger brewers switched to producing malted baby food and other products and were able to weather it. The smaller breweries shut down. Then we entered WWII where mostly women and men unfit for military conscription remained in the homeland and pisswater made from rice was found to be the best seller (and cheapest to produce) due to their delicate tastes. When the warriors came back, they were happy to be alive and fucking again, so they didn't bitch.

Did that answer your question?

correct

Shut up faggot

shitty lagers aside, the US is leaving the rest of the world in the dust by constantly pushing the envelope with amazing craft beers. no other country comes close.

mommy! the cyberbully told me to shut up!

>>>/reddit/

Derail this thread all you want. You will never escape the IPA echo-chamber that is Veeky Forums

t. cuck

haha now he called me a cuck fucking lol so original i'm totally rekt right now

WHY DON'T YOU GO FUCK OFF WHILE US *****GROWN UPS****** HAVE A MATURE DISCUSSION ABOUT IPAS YOU FUCKIKNG SPERG. I'M SO SORRY THAT YOUR TASTE BUDS ARE FUCKING SCORCHED FROM YOUR MOM PUTTING CIGARETTE BUTTS OUT ON YOUR TONGUE WHEN YOU WERE A TODDLER, BUT YOU DON'T NEED TO GO AROUND HARASSING PEOPLE WHO JUST WANT TO CONNECT WITH OTHER PEOPLE ABOUT CRAFT BEER. TAKE YOUR KEK LEDDIT FAGGOT BULLSHIT BACK TO /B/

Hey OP, here's a suggestion. It'll make you look like that shitty bait you posted.

sage

Who really gives a shit? Twerp

Incorrect! Busch Lite is better than all 3

>getting this assblasted
lel what a nerd

>America
OBSSESSED

?

Dirty foreigners as in non americans. I am american. I'm pointing out that budweiser is not an american company.

I was in the US for 1 year and i can confirm that American beer cannot keep up with German beer at all. I'm right from Munich where the Oktoberfest is at and we have such great beer over here in comparison to the one in the states. Everyone here calls American beer "Pisswasser" - Pisswater.

Don't fall for it

This. I'll always enjoy a bud.

Why drink beer if it isn't going to get you drunk? is that a european thing?

And if it's getting me drunk, I really don't give a fuck what it tastes like, since after 4 or 5 of them I'm not really paying attention to the flavor of what I'm drinking anymore.

fpbp

Yeah I remember being in highschool too.

I don't, I was drunk through most of it.

It's not even beer
Made from Corn & Rice

yeah, you're right. the most popular beverage in america is only consumed by high schoolers.

what the fuck are you thinking?

I can appreciate an expensive craft beer as much as the next guy, but that doesn't mean I turn my nose up at a busch lite either. you pretentious fuck

yeah I drink coors light when I just want a cold beer to have with the game instead of spending $8 on hipster brew

I have trouble calling anything that's brewed with rice beer. Also, isn't Budweiser owned by Belgians now?

>busch lite

You had to choose one of the very worst mass produced pisswater beers for your example, didn't you? You couldn't have chosen miller genuine draft or something, which while bad, isn't entirely undrinkable like busch lite.

oh what the fuck ever, get over yourself
I'm not one for the "taste is subjective" defense, but holy fuck you've picked a retarded thing to get mad about

I visited America last year and I can say they're probably making the best beer in the world now. There's a reason so many places here are doing American style craft beers and trying to get ahold of hops American breweries have access to. Stone just opened up in Germany as well and the hype was massive.

Typical douchebag beer snob.

If I like a bud after mowing my grass what's it to you

I'm going to go ahead and fall for it. Modern light Oktoberfest is Budweiser tier garbage, and Germany brewing has fallen far behind American craft brewers. The Reinheitsgebot protected German beer quality for centuries but now it's just shackles keeping you from pushing the envelope. When America decides it loves something -and it has decided it loves beer-, it's unstoppable. The financial, human, and cultural resources are too large to compete with.

>Why do Americans have such shit beer?
Not all do, the shit ones just advertise the cheapest most generic shit. Every country has shit beers.

>And why do they drink it?
Why do other people from other countries drink shit beers as well?

What's it to me? It's everything to me. You see, there is no two ways about it: I am O B S E S S E D with judging people based on their choice of beer. Only the finest for me. There is no "I'm in the mood for something cheap tonight", only "which dope expensive craft beer shall I imbibe tonight"

But if I ever met you in person, I'd say "go ahead, if you feel like having a Bud after mowing the grass, what's it to me?" But in my head I'd be wondering if someone assisted you in getting dressed this morning, or if a work coach accompanies you at your job.

Our micro brews are the best in the world

>tips fedora

>you

>not drinking good beers occasionally with good meals and drinking easy to drink shite like budweiser solely to get out of your face.

This is as good a place as any other
If dubs or any other number combination I deem to be cool I'm getting drunk on THE SHITTIEST malt liquor I can find

24 is a cool number
it's divisible by a lot of other cool numbers so it must be cool

>dirty dish water
>easy to drink

You what now?

What's wrong with rice?

budweiser goes down easier than tap water.

Americans have the best beer in the fucking world. WORLD.

Get your facts straight nigger.

CTRL+F

No mention of Chimay, Rochefort, Orval, Westmalle.

Never change amerifats

Take your monk piss and dufflebag it up your ass

monk piss > donkey piss you fucking retard

please tell me again that coors light and bud are god tier beers

christ it's worse than autism

t. cuck

there is a lot of shit beer but there is also a bunch of really good ones. your just seeing the mass produced stuff when is designed to be drank in quick succession to get drunk fast

I'm not the one claiming superiority over some shitty beverage.

t. Cuck

literally what is wrong with budweiser?
It's refreshing, strong and easily drinkable.
next you'll tell me not to drink bourbon under $70/bottle.

what's wrong is calling it beer, that's all

It's better than most mexican piss and stella

I never said mexican piss and stella were beers

Just getting tired of you amerifats and your "muh coors light" "muh craft beer"

When you've never had a Belgian Trappist Beer

Why do you care so much? Does it really bother you that much what some people halfway across the world do in their spare time? Is your life that pathetic?

What I don't get is how this macrobrew charges an almost premium price. It's just as expensive here as craft beers.

The only thing Americans overrate more than their pizza is their beer.

You forgot to capitalize all your nouns, kraut.

Safe, bland, homogenized, just like how Americans want their country.

>mexican beer pisswater

Negra Modelo and Dos Equis Ambar are Vienna dark lagers derived from the influence of Austrian brewers who established breweries in Mexico during the reign of Maximillian I. Those are a far cry from american mass produced pisswater.

The discount liquor store down the road sells your monk piss. It's overpriced and there are much better alternatives in the states.
M8. They're piss. Negra modelo is okay at best.

Cause I'd like you guys to taste what's better.

It's like donating to charity: why would I care what some african kids are doing halfway across the world? I still donate regularly cause that's a small gesture I can do.

Full-strength Budweisers aren't that bad actually (for a lager).

Not that I'm recommending them necessarily, but beers like this at full strength (Coors, Dos Equis, etc.) don't always deserve to be shit on so hard.

I feel bad for you. May you one day get over your eternally ass pained obsession over my southern brothers and get on with your life.

You're the one who seems mad.

>Why do Americans have such shit beer?
Because we live a consumerist society where quantity is valued higher than quality.

No worries you'll get it someday!

Because they're mild, unoffensive, and cheap.

People who want to branch out have a lot of options, though.

The massive inferiority complex yuropoors have for Americans? Nah, thankfully I never will.

You missed the point.

can't believe these threads always get 80+ replies

>heineken drinkers attempt to shit on budweiser

Lmao every time

>everyone ITT

Don't most Euros drink shit like Heieneken and Carlsberg?

Corona and Modelo (and Heineken) are definitely better than Budweiser.
