Beer.
I'm sick of you Europeans, Canadians and Australians pissing all over American beer. Like all your BORING ass America bashing, it only shows your ignorance of one of the largest nations in the world.
Some simple facts for you.
1. Not everybdoy in America is fat.
2. Not everybody in America eats at McDonalds
3. Not everybody in America drives an SUV
4. Not everybody in America is a patriotic fool
and
5. Not all American beer is swill.
I've tried a ton of beers from all over the world (I'm an alcoholic, after all. Trust me on this) and while I cannot deny that most countries in the world make far superior beer compared to mainstream American beer, there are also, quite literally, hundreds if not thousands of microbrewerys in the US that make equal to if not better beer than your fucking Stella, etc.
Mainstream American beer that you buy in the supermarket is, indeed, shit. Brands like Miller, Budweiser, Coors, Pabst, etc...are shit.
There is a very good reason for this, however.
The United States had prohibition in the 20's. You didn't. Before we had prohibition, there were tons and tons of beermakers in the USA. However, because of the law cracking down on booze production, only the very, very large makers of alcohol were able to survive. When the dust of prohibition settled, companies like Annheiser-Bush (Budweiser) were the only kids left standing. Everybody else had gone under. Suddenly,
the few surviving beer makers found themselves with little to NO competition, and naturally, they THRIVED, because, after all, everybody likes beer.
So they were able to get away with making watered down piss beer, and much like the American Auto industry, they began producing shit, with not a care in the world about quality.
And life sucked for a very very long time.
However, in the 1990's Microbrews started popping up all over America again, and some of them make abso-fucking-lutly fan-fucking-tastic beer.
Here, for you edification, are some of my favorites. If you get a chance, you should try them. Not all of them are available all over the world, but some might be. Give it a shot, and for ONCE in your fucking life, quit bitching about EVERY FUCKING THING about my goddamned country, assholes.
Rogue
This is good shit, man, damn good shit, and they have ton of selection.
Lost Coast Brewery
Located in Northern California, they are considered one of the finest microbrews in the USA.
Left Hand Brewing Company
Great brew from Colorado.
Belles Beer
Located in my state, Michigan. They make a shitload of great stuff. Try the Oberon if you can find it.
North Coast Brewing Company
These guys are in Fort Bragg on California's Mendocino coast. These guys are extremely creative with their beer.
Dogfish Head
This is perhaps my favorite. They come out of Delaware, some of them have an IPA of 120, and this is some motherfucking damn good shit. And it will fuck you up, quick.
New Belgium Brewery
They make "Fat Tire Beer," and "Tour de Fat." Both are excellent. Don't ask me about the names.
Stone Brewing Co.
Home of Arrogant Bastard Ale. I've never tried this one, actually, but with a name like that, whether it's good or not is of no importance. Whatsoever.
I found some great beer names from a website about American beer, which I copy verbatum here:
"Brilliant (And Possibly Offensive) Beer Names
* Arrogant Bastard Ale - The Stone Brewing Co.
* Yellow Snow Ale - Rogue Ales
* Old Leghumper - Thirsty Dog
* Moose Drool - Big Sky Brewing
* Monkey Knife Fight - Nodding Head Brewing
* Bierbitzch
* Immortal Ale - Dogfish Head
* Hop Wallop - Victory Brewing Company
* Hairy Eyeball Ale - Lagunitas Brewing Company
* Supplication - Russian River Brewery
* Dark Lord Imperial Stout - Three Floyds Brewing Co."
There. Before you go around bashing our beers, make sure you know what the fuck you're talking about first.
You smug, super-fucking negative cocksmiths.

This is a post that says "You faggots need to stop saying American beer is shit. American beer is shit!"
Of course when people generalise about US beer they're ont including boutique breweries, they're talking about the bog-standard average brew that you buy cheaply. And that is, as you yourself admit, shit.

For the New Englanders among us (not sure how far they ship) Longtrail ships an excellent selection of beer out of Vermont. My favorite right now is their IPA (I love a good IPA), but you really can't go wrong with a good Long Trail. The Hibernator (their winter beer) is out now, and for something with a little more oomph you might want to try the Double Bag.
Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale is my all-time favorite beer. This winter's batch is not as good as last winter's but it is still excellent. If you find someone with the 2003, I highly recommend giving that a try, as it will still be good.
The owner of my liquor store had me try the Beast from the Avery brewing company out of Colorado. It is 14.6% alcohol, but man does it pack some intense flavor into that little bottle!
Enjoy, and remember it's never too early to start drinking!

Amen... the other reason the shit beer companies are still around (i.e. Natural Light) is because it's the cheapest shit you can buy and unlike the European countries which have insanely high rates of newborn alcoholics because they have no age restriction, young "hooligans" in the US make up a large portion of alcohol consumers and it's all they can afford to pay their 21-year-old friends to buy for them.

What is the deal with you fucking beer snobs? (Not you Ebola) I happen to like the taste of American beers, specifically pilsners. They have a good beer taste with a nutty finish, and you don't have to go search out some exotic microbrew, either. Even your more popular small brands like Red Hook and Pyramid make great beer.
Yes, I've been to London and had the beer there. It's crap. It's flat, warm, and tastes like you're sucking on a penny. Guiness can go fuck itself.

While I commend you on pointing out that not all American beer sucks I must add:
Most American Micro-brewed beer sucks. The overuse of that skunky Cascade hops makes me sick.
You picked some good ones, and I few that I must now hunt down and try. And I will recommend you try some Schell's. They've been making beer in the German tradition in MN since before the Sioux uprising, I believe.

There are some really good American beers out there indeed. Everything you need to make great beer can be grown in America, so it's inevitable that there will be some fine product. And since America is such a consumer country, there are also plenty of good imports to compare against.
Just a couple more reasons why I love this country.

Caulaincourt: Did you ever get a chance to try Molson's Brador say 10 to 15 years ago. Surely you will agree that Brador as a malt liquor was pretty fucking strong. I have no idea who makes the absolute strongest beer. If I was drinking to get drunk it wouldn't be beer anyway; hard liquor or Absinthe (preferably from Czechoslovakia) would be much more effective.
I do not condone drinking to get drunk. Public drunkenness past (or before) the age of 22 is not at all attractive and borders on pathetic. Note: I'm signing off now and don't know if I can get back here for a day or so. I enjoyed this post; better still, I learned something.

Brooklyn Brewery Chocolate Black Stout is among the best beers in the entire universe.
Bell's Brewery out of (I think) Michigan makes a whole line of really excellent brews.
In point of fact, for diversity of styles of beer and sheer number of different very good choices available, almost any mid-sized American city compares very favorably with just about any single European *country*.
Incidentally, mass-market American beer tastes the way it does not just because of the Depression, but because that's the way people's tastes trend-- witness the phenomenal success of Heineken and Stella, both pretty bland copies of pilseners. As much as we like to say that taste has been crammed down consumers' throats, people actually seem to prefer the sweetish, unchallenging light stuff. The beers you're familiar with, e.g., Budweiser, use a lot of corn and/or rice both to mellow out the flavor and because the strains of barley that grow in the US are not as chemically well suited for malting and fermentation as European barleys-- they make thick, murky brews which are fine if you're doing a stout, but won't work at all if you're a German immigrant in Milwaukee or St. Louis trying to copy a lager like granddad used to make in Munich.
Worst beer I've ever had? Cristal, of Peru. Avoid.

Funny how a little research and good presentation can dispel a B.S. rumour... that *all* American beer tastes like snake piss. I visit the U.S. from time to time so I think I'll print this post and take a copy with me on my next visit.
The top three beer companies and/or brands in my vicinity -- in no special order -- are Creemore Springs Lager, Sleemans Honey Brown and good old Molson Canadian Lager. A lot seems to depend on where you are; i.e. I'm a 30 minute drive from Creemore, a small northern Ontario town.

True enough. I've sampled a lot as well, and California brews are very underarted world-wide. There are some kick-ass beers here.
Bonus points for pointing out the history.
One of the best root beers going is Henry Weinhard's. When prohibition kicked in the company used the same facilities and the same bottles for their root beer (and other sodas) and stayed in business, and they still make it today. Try it. It's rich, creamy, and delicious.

Now don't get me wrong, we can buy shite local brew too...VB, Tooheys New, Lion Red, DB.
But we can get good premium local beer if we are prepared to pay. And good Eurobeer, if we a prepared to pay. Hell I can even get Sing-Ha, Chang and the god of all mass-produced beer, Asahi Super Dry - Asiabeer.
No matter how much we want to spend, if we are shopping American, all we'll get is shite.
Whereas you, my respected fellow fan of hops, yeast and malt, can get great Antipodebeers in your local. Beers ranging from Steinlager to Steinlager and all the wonderfull Steinlagerness in between. (O.K., so we export only one decent beer, my rebuttal still stands.)
Until one of your enlightened microbrewers gets an export licence and, a solid distributor and gets their malty, hoppy goodness into the chiller at my local....
