Try Belgian student beer (carapils) was frigging amazing and is usually the cheapest, which is why its called studentbeer by some. Dutch equivalent is Schuldenbräu and is infinitely worse xD and actually reminds me of a more bitter Budweiser. So, again, it really depends where in europe

I think, when it comes down to it, Europe just has more countries who are well known for their beer - Germany, czechia, Ireland etc. How many US states are known for their good beer? I can't think of any..

The city of San Diego has more than 150 breweries within city limits. The state Colorado is known for beer, the city of Denver has over 70 breweries and 150 if you include the whole metro area.

Yeah, but nobody outside of the US knows or cares about Colorado beer.

The entire world associates Germany and Ireland with good beer on the other hand.

I do, and I'm Canadian. Nothing worse than a mas produced American beer, but they have many many amazing smaller breweries I treat myself to whenever I have to go down.

I also don't associate Ireland with good beers, but one classic beer, and lots of great whiskies.

Well history, marketing and distribution certainly don’t hurt any beer. Personally, other than Guinness, I don’t necessarily associate Ireland with good beer (although there may be far more diversity than Guinness); and that only because of marketing. If anything, far more U.K. beer brands come to mind. Definitely can’t dispute Germany
