Summertime in middle America means fresh sweet corn and garden grown tomatoes making for an all-time great lunch combination: BLT and corn on the cob.

El Diablo,

Last time I was in California (2016) I went to a BBQ restaurant that boasts "We have 12 revolving taps that are craft driven. As always…#nocrapontap"

They had 8 IPAs, 2 stouts and 2 ciders. The IPAs I sampled were hoppier than anything I had ever tasted. I asked if they had any pale ales or pilsener, and the young, overweight, heavily tattooed woman looked at me like I was a giant pussy and asked if I wanted a cider.

I settled on an IPA that tasted great after a pint of it had dulled my taste buds. The brisket sandwich was by far the best I had ever had.

IPA's suck, way too hoppy nowadays. At first they were fine but it's gotten out of control.

I like pale ales and pilseners too.

I went to a seafood restaurant in Nebraska once and they had terrible beer too.

Chinese beers in China are almost all under 3% ABV but they're also really cheap at under $2 a liter.

Hero,

I went to a bar in Hong Kong once and they just had Kronenbourg and Kronenbourg Blanc.

They're also disgusting. I would buy one bottle and use it to ice sore muscles after exercising.

I went to a beer festival in Wuhan and all they had were German and Belgian beers.

This is reminding me that I had a thoroughly enjoyable hazy ipa in Oregon back in April. Hoppy up front but not too much so, citrus notes with a clean finish. I don’t like the big hop finish (looking at you Stone)

Especially the generous foreign aid.

Probably not. Nor in Missouri where I live.

I assumed you were visiting and chose a seafood place in a state about as far from an ocean as you can get.

If I just wanted to drink water with a meal in Europe, most places charged me for bottled water. Tap water wasn't an option.

No. In middle America, August (and only August) means garden grown tomatoes. Those ****ty ass Early Girls you are eating in July are only tomatoes in name.

Edit: that wasn't even a picture of a BLT. A BLT has toast. You took a picture of a ****ty sandwich.

IPAs are the Budweiser of craft beer, just sayin'.

A real beer snob drinks Saison and knows the correct way to drink it. If you don't know what I'm talking about, then LOL at your beard oil (says someone with no beard).

Things that make America great:

Watermelon Queen:



Wiener Dog Races:



Real Music:

I'm probably going to have to explain this one slowly, but to my Euro brethren, from left to right in the front, you have a Guitarist, a Singer, and a Bass Player. In the back is something called a Drum Kit, which makes a bunch of noise by someone called a Drummer.

I know you probably think the apex of talent is pressing "play" on a $50,000 attached to a MacBook Pro, and you may even think these are marionettes, but I assure you that these things called "musical instruments" do exist. You all gotta come to the states and check out something called a "band." It's really cool.

This is parody of course?

The Beatles, Stones, Zeppelin and Pink Floyd hailed by critics as the best rock bands of all time, and all British.

We took your rock n roll and improved it beyond all recognition. Then, realising we had created definitive rock music, we destroyed it (Pistols) to deter others from copying it poorly. Unfortunately Foo Fighters et al didn't understand this and continue to plug their rock ordinaire to this day.

Thank you and good night.

Lol @ Brits citing bands from around the last time they won a World Cup. Taylor Swift and Danielle Bregoli are American.

Cash Me Outside Girl is the reason America #1. Without any merit, you can luck your way into unimaginable fame and riches if you can get the world to laugh at your idiocy.

Ya, but the Beatles suck. They were just a boy band who made a good album or 2 after they dropped a ton of acid and went to India to live true to themselves instead of making more boy band crap. You can just chuck too much of their crap in the river. Listing them with the Stones is just no bueno and I question your taste in music after that.
