I'll admit that a lot of popular US beers are pretty bad; Budweiser and
Coors are examples of ones that only should be drunk on a very hot day
and so cold as to have ice crystals in them. However, Sam Adams, Dogfish
Head, Brooklyn and Sierra Nevada, for example, make beers that don't
need to worrry about comparison with European ones.
