I can’t drink American beer, gives me migraines.
For years, decades, I have only enjoyed German beers.
In 2008, while spending a weekend in Belgium, I discovered Trappist ales. They are wonderful.

The Belgium ales are delightfully different.
This is why the best beer (on average) in the world is NOT from Germany, but Belgium. Their Trappist breweries set a standard of quality that very few German breweries—let alone American craft brewers!—can match.

JMO.
You’re right! That would help.
