I like how for the japanese for a beverage to be classified as “beer” (nama biiru) it gotta have a certain percentage of malt in it. Otherwise it gets classified as Happoshuu and its less expensive. On the other hand i think it messes up the tax on beer with flavours because it cant be real beer and i think its considered liquor, im not sure about that, i only read something about it a while ago.

I'm just the right age to have lived through all of this. When I was in my late teens it was still a wasteland for beer. I thought I hated beer because the only beer I had ever tasted was Pabst, Schlitz, Hamms, etc. Then I took a trip to Germany when I was 18 and tasted a real pilsner. I was hooked from the first sip. When I got home, I would desperately search the local liquor stores for any German imports. Daab, Bitburger, EKU, Spaten, even St Pauli, I didn't care. It was all a step up from Miller and Coors to me. And then finally the US craft beers started coming on the market. What a great time to be a beer drinker! :)

I tried a lot of different beers, impart or craft. Some are too hoppy for my taste. For me Pabst Blue Ribbon taste really good on hot summer days. Just right amount of hops and good carbonation so I don't feel like blown up balloon . And can't beat the price. Perhaps I develop this taste because in my younger years all I could afford was cheap American lager.

My taste for beer with flavor changed when I got stationed in the UK with the Air Force back in the 90s. I was at the enlisted club on base with local beers on tap. I told the bartender they didn’t recognize them and so he poured one and said this is a good British beer. It was John Courage an amber lager. when I tried it I found it absolutely delicious. Then later a guy had a bottle of Czech Budweiser and I tried it and loved it. I wanted to keep drinking and he’s like drink it down. This is when I discovered that I like beer that I can taste like Pulp Fiction, I know how f’n good my beer is!

I grew up in the Midwest. I worked on the farms, in the heartland of German immigrants, only 25-35 years after WWII. I can see why light lagers were popular. After long hot days baling hay, milking cattle, herding hogs, walking beans and de-tasseling corn, the kind of heavy dark beer that I prefer today would be just awful. I grew up with Pabst, Bud and Coors. Miller pretended to be high-brow while Michelob pretended to have dark beer. I don't like any of them anymore, but then I no longer spend my days convincing 600 pound sows that they need to get up that ramp. Maybe if I did, they would still taste good. In the end, it's always, each to their own.

That is of course Dutch beer, but the skunky rich taste and smell was spot on what German beer was all about. I have not had any alcohol for twenty years.

Did I miss them covering the fact they add corn and other easily fermentable sugers to light lagers to boost the alcohol levels without having to use more malted barley? Using cheaper sugers that bring little to no flavor is a cost saving way to boost alcohol levels. Yes American style light lagers are very tough to brew because there's so little flavor for flaws to hide behind but they are still dull and uninteresting beers to drink.

so in short: 1. US was not able to make beer like it tasted in Germany 2. instead used whatever they had to make beer their way (watery) 3. then prohibition with no legal beer making at all 4. followed by years of industrialized and commercialized beer production (watery) 5. then golden age of craft brewing (finally some taste in that beer!)

I for one am very glad for the craft brewing industry. I have _never_ liked watery American lager. Maybe I would have had that been what I started out drinking. But when I was in high school in the mid-80s, my home state raised the drinking age to 21. After I finished my freshman year of college, I went and spent a summer in Ireland, and as I was eighteen, I could buy all the beer I wanted. I got used to Guinness and British-style ales, as well as European beers like Carlsberg et al. I _loved_ Ireland, and came back home determined to attend grad school there, which I did, and whenever I drank beer, it was _not_ American style light lagers. When I came home for good, I was thoroughly accustomed to beer that tasted like _beer_ not beer-flavored water. And all these years later, I'll drink _actual_ water rather than Bud, Coors, Miller, or any of that stuff. I honestly don't think I've had any of that swill since I was in college. I'm glad that the emergence of craft breweries and microbreweries and so on has allowed _real_ beer to start being made in the U.S.

And thusly, the french-toast-with-raspberries-milkshake IPA was born.

Such a good video I watched the whole thing without even drinking a beer, finna open one up

A very informative video. I had always wondered how German descendants could regress so much to not be able to brew good beer. Well, a hundred-something years with inferior components to still get something that *looks* like what you're used to, but doesn't taste that way will do that. As taste can't be delivered through a book or description, but only through your taste buds, you get used to a certain taste, which defines the new normal to you. However when confronted with the real deal, no matter where it comes from, you notice that, nope, that crap really doesn't cut it. Greetz from a German in Hamburg, who pities Americans are used to only the big five corporate brands watered down to a pale shadow of what they are supposed to be. But good on you to reinvigorate your craft beer breweries. That's something I would like to see in Germany as well.

I like the variety that craft beers offer. I tend to go for crazy malty stuff and Trappist beers, but I respect that everyone likes their own thing. A lot of drinking is about the culture and traditions that come with it, and there is certainly American tradition associated with lagers and light beer

One more thing. When I first got to Germany, I attended a mini-festival in the German town near our base. They rolled out the beer kegs at 10am to be tapped and served. I will never forget the very skunky smell of hops and yeast when they tapped those kegs. It was like you opened a case of Heinekens at the same time. Their kegs are still made the old fashioned way and the wooden bung must be hammered in to tap. Well, the lively brew just explodes out and the smell overtakes any other odor for yards.

I was a kid working in a liquor store in 1985 when Sam Adams' Lager hit the stores. I had my father my a six pack just to see what the fuss was all about. I thought it was a bit too bitter but liked the complexity and look. I also remember thinking "this will never catch on." Today it tastes too sweet for me, and we all know what happened with the craft beer explosion.

When I was younger I was all about strong, dark, heavy beers but as I get older I'm getting a little more into the watery beers like the U.S. ones. It's less like having a meal and more light having a snack which is good.

We brew our own 5 gallon batches, usually about 8 per year…all kinds of ales…an occasional lager in the winter when the cold weather facilitates fermentation. The common denominator of our beer, is more flavor from the malt grains that have been toasted/roasted to myriad degrees. As you, I still enjoy a mass produced US lager from time to time.

​@@Eyedunno Exactly. Americans pushed craft beer into the 20th and 21st centuries. What a lot of the "American Beer is weak" comes from, is the fact that lots of beer alcohol content was measured by weight and not volume. So a 5% ABV (basically the most standard beer alcohol level) = 4%ABW. It makes it look 20% less alcoholic in nature. Even though, it's the same amount of alcohol. So a Canadian beer listing the alcohol percentage in ABV, could brag (incorrectly) about how much more alcohol is in their beer comparatively to ABW.

People should get some perspective. My relatives from Austria came to visit about ten years ago. There's plenty of good beer over there. I know, I sampled my way through Bavaria, Austria and Prague. I took my cousins all arounf the PNW, and they wanted to find out about American hamburgers - which are widely disrespected in Europe because of the fast food industry. So, I took them to some local taverns and they had whatever burgers - I can't remember - and a sample tray of beers at a couple places. Most of them were craft beers. Anyway, my cousins liked Alaska Amber and Miller MGD better than anything they ever tasted at home. Go figure. Oh, and the Pub Burger is now a staple when they have a party at their place outside Vienna. I'm not that finnicky. But, my favorite in Austria was a sweet dark called Zwetler. Buttery, sweet, no bitterness. Very smooth.

I embraced the advent of craft beers and haven't let go. There was a time when finding a robust beer in America was impossible. Today, you can drink yourself through an endless selection and die (happy) before scratching the surface. My only disappointment is the purchase of some of America's most successful craft breweries by offshore conglomerates. I hope the trend does not snuff the creativity of our master brewers.

First thing: what do the people at PBS even know about beer, they're all drinking Chardonnay or Zima or something. Second: For all you Euro-snobs. Here's a couple of personal anecdotes: I was at an airport bar, Newark I think, waiting for a flight. Another flight arrived and it was a bunch of English rugby players coming in for a tournament. Just about every single one ordered a Miller light. Another time my wife and I went to Scotland on a bus, I mean coach tour. Whenever we'd stop for a shopping opportunity, instead of running to the shops for made-in-China kilts, we looked for the "real ale" signs. In the pubs, it was amazing how many of the customers were ordering Stella instead of the real ale. Anyway, I live about 20 miles from the brewery that's had one of their beers rated "Best in the World" in international competition a couple of times. Hill Farmstead Brewery. Look 'em up. Best beer in the world, officially.

Because if you listen to what they say all beer commercials make the same claims the secret ingredient is ??????? Ahh it’s the WATER!!!!!!!!

I will go for the craft beers anyday over mass produced, quality over quantity. Not all are great, some are horrible, so trial and error is required. If you ever make up to North Central (Minnesota, Manitoba, NW Ontario) and you find Lake of the Woods brewery beers well... those are the best I've found to date. I love that we live in an age where we can discover our amazing differences and embrace them. Cheers

I think I'm perfectly fine with beer tasting like water.

As a production technician at a large brewery and a home brewer. In volume and price the craft market cannot supply the total market. It is too labour intensive, expensive and slow. The main volume will be made in large breweries. But we large breweries can learn and adapt from the craft market and make more than light lager. The craft market will still be there for the new beers, the experiments, driving the trends. Our smallest volume is 800 hl. You have to sell within some month. We can not make smaler experiment beers. But a brewpub can make 5 hl something new and sell it. It is just like jam. You can go to the farmers market and buy a glass of home made jam directly from the farmer. It will taste great. But to surplus the whole jam market we need industrial production, with a product for transport and long shelf life. Industrial and craft can live side by side.

Everything culinary that corporate Americans touch goes to crap (beer, coffee, bread, condiments, etc.)

It's actually not bad if the beer tastes like water. Then you can at least "booze, not only until the doctor comes, but also already goes again"! 😂😂

As a Brit I can still remember eagerly anticipating my first ever draft Budweiser, and being bitterly disappointed. To use the term we Brits commonly use to describe beer that doesn't meet with our approval, I thought it was 'Gnat's Piss'.......!!!!

Fun fact: The no. 1 beer consumer of the planet is the Czech Republic. They have a population of ~10 million, and their beer starts at 5% V/V, and they pretty much adhere by the German Purity Standard for beer (Beer has but 4 ingredients: Water, Malt, Yeast, and Hops)

Well, Europeans (probably the majority of them) prefer sparkling (mineral) water. So here you go again... we're different!

Growing up I drank mostly Utica Club, which also happened to be the furst beer sold after the repeal of Prohibition. When I went to college, I noticed a few things-beer had a lower alcohol content, there weren’t very many options, and Bud sold for $1.65 a six pack vice the normal $.99 a six pack in upstate NY (where there was local competition) in the mid 1970s. Due to their predatory pricing, I have never purchased any Budweiser products. I find most of the microbrews too hoppy, and prefer pilseners, even ones made in Mexico (Bohemia), Japan, New Zealand or Europe.
