beer is beer. There is clearly a large difference in the styles of beer from country to country. American beer still has a rich history and the mass produced beer is mass produced for a reason, large masses of people want it. Being from another country doesn't mean a damn thing, everyone still has access to the same types of beer. We can all agree though that shotgunning bud heavy isn't really a big deal though.
@12:44 - Here in Canada we do call them pints. We also have the British style pint glasses which you can NEVER find the States. I'll also agree that most macrobrewery beers are crap (though at a level of crap far and away better than most American beer.) Though you can still find great beer anywhere here.
Doesn't matter what country it's made, matters who is making it. Many, MANY good American beers... you're just drinking the wrong stuff. Shotgun a Pal Santo Marron brewed by Dogfish Head and then say something about American beers
@1243: Budweiser happens to be American Lager. Not pilsner. You'd think someone with your highly intuitive taste buds would know something so elementary as that.
I love how everyone assumes this was a dude. Obviously a chick. D'oh!!
Also I think she meant it in the filling sense, not the calorie sense. Shotgunning heavy beer is retarded. It fills up your stomach too much. Heavy beer is for sipping.
I hate lite beer. Tastes terrible. Good ole plan Budweiser is good stuff. I won't drink Busch lite either. I'll drink Busch though. I can drink Budweiser the whole night, that's my party beer. Start off the night with a couple real good beers that taste awesome. Switch to Bud and keep on drinking.
Pussy. Unless you and your little girl friends call the 24oz "bud heavies", in which case you're stupid. A Bud Heavy is a regular Budweirser, i.e. the opposite of a Bud Lite. Fucking rookies.
There are plenty of amazing American beers. They just aren't made by Miller, Budweiser, or Coors. Try something by Stone, Dogfish Head, Flying Dog, Goose Island, Left Hand, Breckenridge, etc.
light beer is for guys that have some sort of intelligence and enjoy playing beergames all night without filling up. the rest of you can slowly drink your heavy beers while we pound down the light ones and party all night. you all are the real pussies.
oh and fuck europe
ok wtf is bud heavy? wouldn't that just be regular bud? regular bud hardly classifies as heavy, am i right?
and honestly, you people get way too snobby about beer. if it gets me drunk, i really don't give a shit. (unless it's natty light)
Absolutely right 1238. It's just that the masses don't drink them! Goose Island is one of my favorites. Or if you're in Wisconsin, New Glarus! Best beer I have ever had and I have traveled to lands of good beer. The american pilsner, however, is crap.
2:44 - Not really. You need to drink the light ones in order to be able to make it through the night. Us Europeans guzzle down the heavy shit all night, and we still make it through. Grow some testicles.
You guys need to call me back when you can drink a slab, sorry - case, or two in the afternoon and call it a slow day.
I'm more of a spirits drinker. Have a few pints to get warmed up. Switch to hard liquor. Then have a few beers at the end coz you can't afford anything else.
1154, Dude, really? How can you say American beer is worth the water it's brewed with? There's a reason it's called piss water. Just because it was all that was around, I had a but light the other day. It tasted like white tea. I'm being absolutely serious.
Shotgun a Guinness and I will be truly impressed. Until then stfu.
This entire thing is a disgrace. If Americans are soooooo stupid and tasteless then how are we the most successful and dominant? Thats right you fucking nips and bulgarians, enjoy your lager fuckers we'll just import it because WE CAN.
Fuck 2:50 and Fuck Europe. If you really want to be tough skip the beer all together and drink good ol' American Jack Daniels. (I'll give make an exception for Scotland. Their whiskey is great, too!)
@ 1:14 - You're a fucking idiot. The beer is cheaper but also weaker. They can water it down and get away with it because you don't know what the difference is. Bud and Canadian are much stronger in Canada than they are in the States (I know from experience). it says that these "American Symbols" are treating their "loyal" customers like dog shit...well...because most of their customers are brain dead trailer park hicks who think Bud's a mans drink. It takes a real man to drink urine.
Yeah, seriously. Shotgun a 750ml Steeler then we'll talk business. I don't care if you're a chick. My girlfriends little sister can keg stand like a champ and shotguns at the dinner table. They may be slightly lower class...
.......And by American Beer, do you mean Brazilian beer figuring "Americas traditional lager" and largest brewery is actually owned by INBEV now, Basically America is up for SALE
I like to get drunk. alot. And guess what, great tasting beer is EXPENSIVE. Americans aren't stupid about what tastes good and what doesn't. its just it takes more than a few sips of chardonnay to get us drunk. we're not like you lightweight wine and cheese pussies abroad, if we were going to drink great beer to get drunk all the time, my bar tab would be a few grand a month.
I like all beers, but dam shotgunning a good beer is a waste. Bud's a good party beer, cheap and you aren't that pissed when it gets knocked over, good for shotgunning, etc.
For all those hating on American beer, Europe has it fair share of skunk beer. Im looking at you Heineken and Stella Artoris. That is some fucking watered down shit.
