Germany has their ‘Beer Purity Laws’...............They didn’t invent beer. They perfected it!.

And Americans watered it down. In some cases, American beer is indistinguishable from badly flavored water.
After my trips to Germany for my job, I have no respect for American brews..............
The English say American beer is like sex in a canoe....
I drank a lot of duty free beer on leave on the Channel ferry in ‘81 and ‘82 but nothing compared to what the English lads could put away, lol.
I think it was Watney’s Red barrel, which I guess the beer snobs look down on, but it was tastier than American swill and a nice change from Licher and Richer, the local biers in Hessen where I was.
That’s funny, because basically all of our major brands are from Germans.
I’m a bit biased, but all my life it seems if anything, beer was a German thing. Little associated with any other people.
Celebrated my 21st birthday at Octoberfest in Munich, and the next nine months in Denmark. Couldn’t drink an Anerican beer for over a year. Glad U.S. craft brewing began shortly after that.
