I also think it is a bit unfair to the Czech Republic to be compared to such a large country.
When he talks about the traffic lights being placed across the intersection, he should come visit Denmark; that's how we do it here! And it's not that far from Czech Republic, and we also like good beer (unlike the Americans who just drink flavoured water).
- dagw 13y agounlike the Americans who just drink flavoured water Or beer that is hopped to up to crazy levels without any consideration for things like flavor balance and finesse.
- levosmetalo 13y agoYou can always opt to drink only Mexican beers there. Last time I was in the US, some of these beers were up to the level of European beer quality, some better, some worse, but in the same league.
- vetinari 13y agoEven in Europe, not every beer is good. There is a term "Eurobeer", and it is an insult, usually targeted at Heineken or SABMiller products (or beers from other breweries with similar quality). Having better beer than Eurobeers is no problem then. Good beers, on the other hand, are really good.
- levosmetalo 13y agoFair point. I considered only good European beers and good Mexican beers, not some products with high marketing and low quality. Unfortunately, when I was in US I didn't have a luck to try good US beer, and moved on to Mexican beers as soon as I discovered them.

As with everything in the US, location matters. Where I'm at in Minnesota, and being by Wisconsin, there are a metric ton of local breweries that put out lots of beers that you cannot buy more than a few states away. These breweries also pump out some of the best beers you can have. If you're going to compare like to like, stop using crap like Budweiser and the other commercial stuff.
- gadders 13y agoWell, the big brand beers lik Bud and Coors are rubbish, but you can find more unique wheat beers and local beers in most supermarkets, I've found.
- newnewnew 13y agoCalifornia has one of the best beer scenes in the world. There is no kind of beer you can't find locally and lots of novel experimentation with the craft. Don't judge the US on Budweiser alone. Stop by the Stone brewery or Russian River brewery if you want a mind-expanding beer experience. Although I find Europeans don't like as much variety in their beer as Americans.
- wglb 13y agoAnd don't leave out Three Floyds.
- jganetsk 13y agoIn America, one can get many kinds of beer. One can get shitty American beer, beer that is crazy hopped up (as posted below), good American beer... and also the same exact beer you drink in Europe. We import too, you know.
- Svip 13y agoI hope you are talking about real imports, and not just those Export brand ones. I mean; can you get a Leffe there?
- dagw 13y agoGiven that Leffe and Budweiser are owned by the same company (OK if you want to be technical, Leffe is owned by a company that's owned by a company that also owns the company that owns Budweiser), I imagine that that global distribution shouldn't be a problem.
