That would sound accurate if the year was 1988.

You're right. Now they'd be complaining that the pub/bar doesn't stock IPA X from town Y in state Z, that they are shocked that we don't know about.

No love for the Czech Republic from whence lager came? I am hopping mad. Barley able to write this. It's yeast not fair. Water letdown.

Europeans in this thread when they see the America votes:

The microbrewery revolution is no more than 5-8 years old and many outside the US don't know it happened especially with the pandemic.

Problem is that there are so many it's hard to bring them into the equation. Much easier to compare Sam Adams with Budvar and Leffe Blonde....

In the UK, a few 'craft beers' started popping up.

But independently, the UK's beer industry had already been expanding and improving anyway by then for a few years. And CAMRA had made sure it hadn't gone completely stale (bunch of weirdos mind).

before microbrews were a thing… some Euro beer. After microbrews, America…. specially Michigan.

If it's the top end, it's Belgium and it's not close.

The benefit to the US is the breadth. I can get a good pilsner in a number of breweries here but an authentic Czech pilsner would be superior, etc etc.

I really like Stella Artois but a single beer gives me a terrible headache.

I don't drink beer so my memory comes from years ago when Germany and Belgium ruled, but I guess USA is pumping.

Whichever country I'm currently in OP.

America and Belgium rank my highest. Neither are limited to any beer purity law so you get a wide variety of ingredients/spices.

With that said, Germany has one of my favorite beers with Weihenstephaner and some of the most strict guidelines.
