XXXX – Australian beer in any of its versions. Best beer almost any in Munich or Chinese beer is also terrible, there isn’t any beer culture there.

Agreed, Budweiser is easily the most reviled beer internationally. My German friends tell me they call it ‘dishwater’ back home. Our Aussie beers are tolerable (in particular, VB), although English and German beers set the standard. Finally, on a recent trip to NYC, I made sure I treated myself to a 6 pack of Anchor Steam; obviously, I have no connection with the “@Curt Morgan” poster above.

This is the stupidest shit I have ever seen in my life. The number one selling beer in the world is the worst beer somehow? The United States has some great beers. IF anything the Asians can make beer to save themselves.

The way the beer is handled, bottled, dispensed and stored is more important than the country of origin. The Russian beers I have tried (in addition to Heinekin) have been really skunky – all beer bottles should be brown

#32 sober-college-self-righteous-person: you had to travel to Europe to learn to enjoy beer? what pretentious bullshit. I wish that I could meet you in person so that I could kick you in the balls. sorry, but you sound particularly lame. yes, Budweiser is shit, but let’s get serious… it’s no different from plenty of pisswater beer in Mexico, Brazil, Venezuela, Chile, the UK, Russia, China, Italy or beyond (actually, it might all be the same crappy beer made in the same crappy brewery). I’ll take this vote as a mix of anti-Americanism and “I once traveled abroad and liked Euro beer” trying-to-be-cooler-than-you-actually-are boringness.
C’mon. Have you ever had a South American dark beer? FUCKING TERRIBLE.
Have you ever tried a Michelob AmberBock (mass market fake ass microbrew)? At least Bud is what it is and ain’t trying to pretend like it’s something decent…

Thanks to all that American piss they call beer, I grew into a young adult hating the stuff. Yes, my college days were sober ! Finally, when I was 20 I travelled to Europe and learned what it should really taste like.

As for taste I hear a lot of good things about the micro-brewing revolution in the States and lots of other places – Good beer to me is usually local. Down here in Wellington, NZ we’ve got a brewery in Reikorangi called “Tuatara” (after the local lizard) that makes a fine bunch of ales esp the Ardennes Belgian style one – Mmm-hmm.

Now when you want to talk about bad beer – I was once fairly down on my luck and wanting to cheaply drown my sorrows.
I purchased a dozen of a beer by the name of “Burmeister” that was so bad that I couldn’t finish the first can. It sat around for a while ’til a friend had a party and I took the other eleven to give away free beer and generally share the love.
I helped my mate the next day clearing up and found can after can of Burmeisters nearly full, but opened.
Lots of people had tried it, none had finished it.
Burmeister – complete shite.

I’m not American but it’s unfair to rate the country badly because of Bud and a few other mass market cr@p beers. Most of the ‘real’ ale you can find in California and New England is excellent.And who are the 4.1% of taste-free idiots voting Britain? Clearly you’ve never tasted the broad range of top class real ales made here or are just downright prejudiced.
