We Americans like our beer mediocre. At the end of Prohibition there
were something like 700 commercial breweries operating in the US.
Today if you don't count the micros, there are what? Three big
nationals? Anheuser Busch, Coors and Miller and they are owned by huge
conglomerates. There are a few medium sized regional brewers like
Linenkugel and Yuengling still around, but I don't know if they're
still independent or not. We Americans don't really do beer anymore.
Or anything else, for that matter.

The beer in the Simpsons is Duff, is that a joke for the Brits or does the
word duff in the USA have the same meaning
