From the like of Hoggs Back, Kings (Horsham) & especially Harverys (Lewes) dunk at cellar temp on a hot day is pure delight
None of this chilled to death stuff.
No Rice in the brew.

Sorry, but if I can see through it, it's not worth drinking.

If you're ever in Belgium come and see me and we'll go to one of my favorite bars and go through a few dozen of the 250 beers they have. I assure you you'll appreciate the difference between beers a whole lot more.

I'm tired of beer snobs. Go back to your pubs and drink your $10 cut-me-off-a-slice hipster bullshit and stay away from my beer.
Nothing beats a hot summer day watching baseball with an ice-cold domestic of your choice. I myself prefer the High Life, or maybe even a nice Sam Adams.

I'm a beer snob and a homebrewer, and I actually respect the macro-breweries quite a bit. It's HARD to brew a light lager -- believe me, I've tried. Even harder to brew it to taste the same, batch after batch, year after year. Those kind of beers are rarely my first choice of beverage, but I'll be damned if I'm going to insult their skill in brewing.

Re:Why is American beer so bad? (Score:4, Insightful)
I can't tell if you are trolling or deluded. You were in San Francisco and couldn't find a good American beer? That's just sad beyond belief. Not only does SF have one of the best regional breweries in the US (Anchor Brewing), you practically can't walk out your door without tripping over amazing craft beer. All of the beers you mention are national brands and are bland to the point of not being worth drinking (IMHO).
Let me put it this way. If I went to Australia and said, "Why does Australian beer taste so bad? I drank VB, XXXX, and Toohey's", you'd be justified in thinking that I just put absolutely no effort into finding anything except the crappiest beer on the market. And yet, I could counter that it is the most popular beer. Yes... In most places in the world bland beer is the most popular. Why is this? I have no idea.
Typing this, I am a little bit fearful that you might actually think that VB, XXXX and Toohey's represent the pinnacle of brewing excellence. If so, just let me say that I am very, very sorry for you. Your country produces a lot of extremely good beer, but those are not examples of it. The US is similar, except that the amount of good beer that they produce eclipses Australia's offerings by a staggering amount.
And, no, I am not American. If you go to the US again, spend some time on the internet looking up good beers to try. It will be worth it.
