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.
Imported is very different from that sold in Germany. No real beer, stout, ale etc sold in the US - just flavored water with a drop of alcohol. US brands differ by the amount of water and size of the dab. local or imported. must meet US standards for flavored water with carbonation and drops of alcohol.
