Reply #102: You may have missed the Craft Brew revolution.

There are hundreds of breweries all across the U.S. making beers that are as good as if not better than their European counterparts. I can walk down the street to a bar and drink at least two dozen of them on tap, with dozens more available in bottles. I can go to the liquor store and purchase from hundreds of different beers in one place. That is far more than most European liquor stores handle.

If you are saying that most Americans drink shit beer, I wont argue. Yet that is their choice, they could be drinking much better beer, brewed right here.

Currently on tap:

Bells Brown Ale - $4.50
Bells Double Cream Stout - $5.50
Bells Expedition Stout - $6.50
Bells Hopslam - $5.50
Bells Sparkling - $4.50
