Coors light over 99% of the fancy stuff any day because it goes well with charred-smokey stuff that gets smothered in ketchup, bbq sauce, or other American fixins. U-S-A!

I never said the best beer in the world comes in cans. It was an offhand comment about bottled beer generally sucking as bottles are substandard packaging in most cases when compared to canned or draft. The exceptions being some of the styles you cited, along with a few other styles.

Let's move on.

Ok guys we get it. USA#1 is #1 at being ****ing hipsters about beer.

Can we move the debate on to peanut butter now? Is the best peanut butter jarred?

I only buy peanut butter that's been hand-churned by monks in a Belgian abbey.

If you're not grinding your own organic, hand-cultivated peanuts, you're doing it wrong.

Great for frugal satiety. Is all the fanfare for peanut butter similar to poor children talking up their Payless Shaq's because they can't afford Jordan's?

Water pressure. Sounds insanely trivial but trust me.

As for beer, I had Belgium beer made at a monastery. Unparalleled. My host's reasoning made perfect sense. He said the monks couldn't screw so they got drunk instead.

Water pressure is an interesting one. I have heard that there are lots of places around the world where the power goes out daily sometimes and other times pretty regularly. My power goes out after a big storm and that can be annoying but only dealing with it 2x a year on average sounds like a dream next to some place outside the US.

So infrastructure is a pretty huge plus.








I'll go ahead and say police and the law to make a civilized place. You can't appreciate it when you know nothing else growing up but when you study other places in the world and history, living in a place that you can pretty much bet that you will make it to your destination without violence is so huge in life. America is pretty dope.

Wait, there are actually people who think that USA#1 isn't the world's overall beer leader?
Shoot, there are a bunch of US metro areas that produce more varieties of better beer than 95% of those rinky dink loleuro countries

I feel the restaurant situation is similar to the beer situation. We might not have the absolute best restaurants here, but there are tons of amazing restaurants and an almost unlimited variety.

I can find almost any ethnic food here in Kansas City, and in larger cities, there's even more to choose from.

Yeah this. AND if you're riding your fixie from brewery to brewery and decide to stop for a bridge beer you will hate having bottles as they are heavy, breakable, and take up too much space in your panniers.

I'm guessing you're English or some other non US, English speaking person and need some clarification on the bolded. I don't know what fixie, bridge beer or pannier means. Bridge beer sounds too much like something the bridge and tunnel crowd would drink like Steel Reserve.

American mother****er, do you speak it!!.jpeg

Coors Light is deplorables beer and the best peanut butter, Teddy SMOOTH, isn't even in that picture. So there.

Coors light is actually pretty awesome, I love IPAs and Yuengling, but if I'm drinking a lot of beers I want something less sweet and just less altogether and CL is the bomb diggity in that regard.


From what I understand you're a lady and beer is more a dudes delight. Most ladies love drinks other than beer from my experience.
