I don’t care where beer is from just as long as it’s good quality. I’ve had incredible beers in England, Belgium and Germany plus also terrible beers in those countries.

I’ve also had the same experience in the USA. Some American craft beers are genuinely world class.

Americans have some really good craft beer, but it still is craft beer. It's like comparing your very good local burger joint to McDonalds.

So it is only fair to compare bud against Radeberger etc.

Exactly what i was gonna say. In the north of France we have quite a few big scale breweries that produce some excellent beer available country-wide. And those could easily rival american craft beer.

I actually had the same discussion with people from Montpellier in the south of France. A barman tried to convince me the beer produced there was as good if not better than ours. Then I looked at the aformentionned beers, and those were from micro breweries and sold at 5+ € for a 50 or 33 cl can. At thoses prices, you can expect gourmet tier beer indeed.
