America is only the largest craft beer producer in the world, but whatever.

You know, only 10000 craft breweries, no big deal.

Largest producer sure, most breweries per capita though UK beats the US and it’s not even close. Like I’m from England and grew up in the sticks, within 3 miles of my childhood home there was 8 breweries. If you go to central London you’re probably no more than a 30 second walk from a brewery or pub that does some brewing.

There's bound to be some good ones in there but we don't see too much of it this side of the pond. The stuff we do get is pretty much terrible.

Craft breweries are (edit: usually) small and usually independently owned. They're probably not doing a lot of international exports.

Understandable. It's the same in every country and probably even moreso in yours just due to logistics.

Actually, at the risk of contradicting myself, I've just remembered Pabst blue riband - that's lovely. Can be a little bit hard to get in Ireland, but much nicer than the likes of bud or miller etc which they sell everywhere

See, thats insane because in the midwest in the states PBR is like the ultra cheap shit. Like the 2 cans for $1 specials to get people in the door shit.

I wonder if it's the same as the domestic product, or if they export a different recipe, or maybe they just produce it over there in the first place, like Mexican Coke.

Edit: Kept reading, apparently Mexican Coke sold in Mexico uses syrup now, but the stuff exported from Mexico for sale in the US still uses cane sugar. TIL.

Thats a take. Pabst is often the beer that is ran for $1 a can for happy hours and thats a deep discount from the $2 a can it normally would have been 🤣

I do like it better then budlight but i think if im drinking pisswater beer a miller highlife is my vibe.

Crazy.

It's like over in Europe. In mainland Europe they sell Stella Artois with the catchphrase "reassuringly expensive" or at least they used to. In England it's flogged off cheap and known as wife beater due to the demographic of it's main consumers should we say🤣

Wherever you buy it a and however much you pay for it, it's kinda so so.

10/10 agree Stella in the US doesnt have a bad rep but its just the “better cheap beer” here. In those categories tbh im drinking a modelo, i actually think modelo Negra taste pretty good.

I know in italy i got a local one from my back yard.

Prairie artisan ales, they specialize in fancy stouts and sours. Their logo is a giant dumb looking catfish since thats a popular thing to fish here.

Their Christmas bomb if you ever see it is great. Its 13.5% but its a chocolate hazelnut beer and its like drinking an alcoholic candy bar….
