That's such an outdated misconception.American beer is shit anyways. It’s a pale imitation of European alchohol.
What you're experiencing overseas is our mass produced garbage that gets exported.
The US has an absolutely thriving microbrew culture, tons of variety and varying quality. Some is garbage, some is as good as or better than any foreign beer.
I am six years sober, but I can say this with confidence as someone who has done two "world tour of beers," and kept a taste journal of 300 different beers.
American mass produced beer is shit. The right American micro brews are some of the best beer on the planet.
I appreciated lots of foreign beers too. I am not saying America Is all around better. I AM saying that the idea that American beer is shit and foreign beer is better is just a myth.
