Is it somewhat similar to the US (and I guess the rest of the world?) in that commercial beers blow ass 95% of the time, and the best ones come from local breweries? The US gets such a bad rap because our commercial beers are fucking horrible and watered down beyond belief. This is what most people judge us on. Microbrews are fucking AWESOME in the states. It's just a shame they're so expensive a lot of times Agreed. America has 3 good widely accessible beers - Blue Moon, Sam Adams, and Yuengling. Every other big name brand beer is a piece of shit. Someone tried to convince me that Pabst is a good beer the other day... I was about to punch him in the face and drown him in the Bud Light that he must have been raised on. Heretic American bastards. | ||

Hawk, no, the big brands in Germany are excellent. There is no objective difference in quality from big commercial brands to small local breweries. Btw I predict total disaster on the brand guessing and I will be surprised if anyone will get a particular brand right. Guessing the price range and giving a taste score will be interesting though. | ||

So what you're saying is Germany is a sub-section of Heaven? T_T; | ||

Lager is not beer. Lager is flavoured, fizzy water that happens to contain alcohol. Ale is beer. | ||

Guessing the price range and giving a taste score will be interesting though. I don't think it will be a total disaster on brand guessing, because some (at least here) have very distinct tastes. I think price range will be more difficult, and the test will illustrate how much brand name and marketing alters the opinions of people. It's pretty interesting. And fanta nailed the good beers here, but isn't blue moon imported? yuengling probably barely passes for commercial, since it's only available in like 6-7 states in the NE and really only prominently available in a few of those places. the reg lager and the black and tan fucking kick asssss | ||

I didn't know Yuengling was so localized, I always see Yuengling trucks so I assumed that since they have the means of transporting it throughout the continental US they would be fools not to. I guess it's hard to expand as a good beer producer in America when so much of the beer consumption is done by stupid college kids who have no appreciation (or need, I guess) for good beer. | ||

I was never much for beer or wine testing though, especially if you have to spit it out. That's just retarded. If beer didn't get me drunk I wouldn't drink it. I'm not the casual "let's have one beer" kind of drinker | ||

So "taste" is highly psychological issue. study edit: and now i feel like a pussy talking about pepsi and coke in a beer thread... | ||
