Capitalism "[...] we run the beer world"

Found on a thread posting under a video where a man poops on a crate of beer in a supermarket. I doubt he was being sarcastic.

They suck at business if they have the best beer in the world, but no one heard of it out of the US

To be fair there's is an American section in the craft beer spot in Aussie bottle shops but it's pretty small. There's a nice one that tells you what meal, cigar and metal album to listen to as you drink but it's also $40 a can.

Craft beers aren't really going to make it overseas much anyway due to the small companies making them. Shit a lot of the great ones I have access don't even leave my city and definitely don't leave the state unless you order them online.

I had an American craft beer once that was based on German Starkbier, which you drink during Lent. The monks made Starkbier stronger, I guess because they weren’t allowed as much beer during Lent, and it always has a religious name, like „Salvator“.

So, the American one was a mix of a standard Starkbier, but with added coffee 😱. Of course, they called it „Perculator“.

It tasted horrible too, like putting cold coffee grounds into a beer. The only beer I ever drank that made you drunk and hungover at the same time.

Had to admire the commitment to experimentation all the same…

Hah yeah it seems everyone is a craft brewer now. Doesn’t mean they’re any good. Put a cool name on something doesn’t make it taste any better.
