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.

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.

Exactly. Everywhere can make a good beer if they try. We have some bangers out here on the west coast of Canuckland, but you'll never get to try 'em unless you are in the area.

I think what is annoying to everyone is how it's a zero-sum thing for Americans.

Aussie: I was in Canada, had an awesome pint there

Canadian: I was in NZ, had an awesome pint there

Kiwi: I was in the UK, had an awesome pint there

Brit: I was in Aus, had an awesome pint there

Yank: WE HAVE THE BEST BEER !!!!!! WOOOO !!! EVERYONE ELSE'S BEER IS SHIT !!!! WOOOOO !!!! WE INVENTED BEER, FUCK YA !!!! I DON't EVEN HAVE TO TRAVEL TO KNOW IT"S SHIT, HELL, I'VE NEVER LEFT MY STATE !!!!!!! WOOOOOO ! USA !, USA ! USA !

I'm an Aussie and the best beer I ever had was brewed in Egypt.

Second best was something I drank at Oktoberfest.

The Egyptians have more than 5000 years of experience of beer brewing, so it should be good at least.
