The American piss has nothing on the Czech original beer.

[-] RejZoR@lemmy.ml 25 points 6 days ago

The Czech are masters at brewing beer.

[-] FelixCress@lemmy.world 14 points 6 days ago

Obviously. Beer from the USA taste like piss.

[-] ploot 27 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

The USA and Canada have a ton of good beer from small breweries, but the stuff that gets exported does taste like piss. It's like judging British beer on the basis of Carling Black Label.

Yeah. I know some Germans who are jealous of American microbrews because in Germany they have strict laws that keep new small breweries from starting.

[-] UpperBroccoli 11 points 6 days ago

You can sell whatever you want (within reason) in Germany - you just then can't put the word "bier" on the label. Not really stopping anyone, if you call it "Hopfenkaltschale" ("hops cold dish") or "Gerstensaft" ("barley juice"), everyone will still know what you mean.

[-] FelixCress@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Miller and so called "Budweiser" certainly taste like piss. I don't know about small breweries. Czech Budweiser is excellent although I prefer Pilsner Urquell or Radegast.

Yeah, Carling also taste like piss.

Correction: Non-craft beer from the US tastes like piss.

[-] ploot 8 points 6 days ago

Yes, as a Brit I'm a bit of a beer snob. Some of the best beers I have ever tasted have been from independent breweries in the USA and Canada. It's really very different from how it was a few decades ago, when good beer was hard to find in these countries. Now it seems to be everywhere.

I went to a wedding in Northern California back in 2019 and travelled around for a couple weeks, from New Zealand. It was just a glorious haze of 7% IPAs and legal weed. I loved it!

[-] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

As a Boston resident: New England has a bonkers craft beer scene. If youโ€™re a serious enthusiast, I suggest a visitโ€ฆ though if you arenโ€™t already living here, maybe after all of this idiocy shakes out one way or the other ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

[-] Contentedness@lemmy.nz 1 points 6 days ago

Oh cool, thanks for the tip! Yeah I think after all the idiocy shakes out sounds like a good plan. I reckon a NEIPA in those parts would be like a Guinness in Dublin!

Hey, maybe by then the Patriots will be back on top! (Referring to the NFL team, but I guess your could take it more literally, too ๐Ÿ˜ฌ)

Honestly, youโ€™ll be spoiled for choice. Thereโ€™s a ton of great breweries all over. The NEIPAs are very good, but thereโ€™s also some REALLY good traditional Germanic-styled breweries. Iโ€™d be happy to offer some recommendations (or meet for a pint or two!) whenever you get the chance to visit :)

[-] spud_rua@lemm.ee 1 points 5 days ago

Iโ€™d rather a Beamish in Cork over a Guinness in Dublin ;)

[-] noride@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago

I'm certainly not disagreeing that it tastes bad, but how did you come to learn it tastes like piss, specifically? ๐Ÿค”

[-] brotundspiele@feddit.org 4 points 6 days ago

It doesn't taste like piss. Piss is salty and bitter, or sweet and mild depending on what you drank and ate earlier and depending on your health status. American beer always tastes like nothing. ๐Ÿฅ‡๐Ÿšฟ

[-] Nfamwap@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Thanks, Bear Grylls.

[-] datendefekt@feddit.org 12 points 6 days ago

To invoke Monty Python, why is drinking American beer like making love in a canoe?

[-] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 6 points 6 days ago

Agreed, I like the Budweisers who donโ€™t throw trans women under the bus.

[-] Beetschnapps@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Budvar for the win!

[-] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 4 points 6 days ago

Show an USAian this image to turn them into dust

[-] easily3667@lemmus.org 2 points 5 days ago

What are you talking about? This is well known.

[-] random 1 points 5 days ago

both aren't my pick

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Anywhere I can get that in the US? I'd like to see if it's significantly different from what they sell here.

[-] ThomasCrappersGhost@feddit.uk 3 points 5 days ago

It has a slightly different tasteโ€ฆlike an edge to it. Not offensively so, though.

[-] ohellidk@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 days ago

Neat! I didn't know that existed.

[-] easily3667@lemmus.org 1 points 5 days ago

It's still a nasty pilsner

[-] drolex@sopuli.xyz 1 points 6 days ago

Try it. It's a nectar from the gods.

[-] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 4 points 6 days ago

It's alright, it's a decent mass produced pilsner, nectar from the gods is a bit far.

[-] drolex@sopuli.xyz 2 points 5 days ago

What you say is so true that Truth itself sounds like a lie in comparison. Verily, this is the language of the Gods.
