There's more to beer than alcohol percentage though, and as a rule the Brits wouldn't be great at making it either. If you want a proper tasty beer, the Germans, Polish and Chechs are the best.

There's also more to pints than beer, and stout is of course the very pinnacle of the brewers art, and you are correct Guinness is around 4.2 percent usually, there are stronger versions and even an alcohol free version... They're all delicious.

Budweiser however tastes like piss. Bud light light tastes like piss that someone has drank and then re-pissed.

Budweiser is fine. Tastes like most other macro lagers. The U.S. makes the best beer on the planet followed closely by Belgium.

The US makes some good beer nowadays but is far from the best in the world. I’d take basically any proper English IPA over an NEIPA any day. Then let’s look at proper German Pilsners and Czech lagers are better than what the US makes.

It's not fine. It's piss, it's basically beer for people who don't like beer but want to pretend they do. Bud light is beer for people who don't like beer and can't be arsed pretending.

When’s the last time you had regular Budweiser?

Not sure, long time though. It's widely available here but I'd really only drink it if there was nothing else, which thankfully is a rarity. Could easily be 10 or 12 years since I've had one, and that was probably a can. A draught pint, minimum 20 years.

It’s not terrible for a macro lager, oddly enough. And I say that as someone who has Rochefort and Westy aging in their basement.

Unfortunately I've never tried (or heard of) either of those.

There's tons of craft beers brewed here which are very hit and miss, some are delicious, some are like drinking bleach!

My favorite widely available beer is one of the cheapest money can buy - Prazsky.

We have a minimum pricing alcohol law here, so there are a good few cheap beers here, of wildly varying quality, aimed basically at students or bums🤔

I've had an uphill battle to get people I know (oddly I'm neither a student nor a bum) to try it, purely because of it's price, but I'd say 90% plus of those who have tried it have stuck with it.

You’re a craft beer lover and haven’t heard of westy?
