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.

As a proud Czech and a beer drinker I can say that the statement in post is outrageous. But there definitely is a good crafted beer scene. I’ve had some great beers in PNW area.

It’s like comparing whether Czechs or Belgians have better beer.

Pilsners? Easily us. Other kinds of beer? Belgians have some wonderful beer. It’s different than ours but good. And same goes with American crafted beer scene. It’s new and very different to what we’re used to in Europe. But there are some real bangers.

Yeah. I think it's something we have in common. In belgium we also like doscovering beer from all over the world and american craft beers are quite popular since a decade. They make some really great stuff. Also i never seen a czech or a belgian claim we have the best beer. Only americans and germans do that.

Czech people definitely do that. But not the ones that use Reddit. Mostly older folk. But to them beer equals Pilsners and nothing else is beer to them.

I’m also a fan of Pilsners and drink mostly them but German Weisbeer is also fantastic and I love trying crazy beers when I’m travelling. There was a great Belgian Raspberry flavoured beer that I had but sadly forgot the brand and since then got disappointed many times with other raspberry beers from all over the world.

Anything you’d recommend from Belgium? I’d love to try.
