I usually assume when Europeans complain about American beers, they just are complaining about our “domestic” beers like Bud Light, Coors, PBR, etc. which makes sense, they are our bottom shelf beers.

I recently chatted with someone at a party who said “no, all American beers are bad” including microbrewery beers.

I’ve never been to Europe so I wouldn’t know, but I do like my Left Handed Milk Stout, NWPAs, and hell even the hipstered out IPAs.

Are these what y’all are referencing?

    Yes but have you been to Europe? It’s a giant ball of idiosyncrasies created by some old dudes four or five hundred years ago. And that’s why we love it 😁.

    Do not question the sanity of this.

      Your reluctance to purge monarchy from your ranks made it obvious that the European Way is letting old rich people dictate social norms.

        Monarchs nowadays can’t do shit though. They’re just rich and represent the country somehow. Old rich people is very true for America though.

          They’re a legally mandated, inherited upper class with distinct privileges and guaranteed wealth. Doesn’t matter what else is going on, that’s indefensible in the modern world.
