Which is better, European beer or American?

Danish and dutch beer! Heineken, Tuborg and Carlsberg ! TY!

 

Oh did i hurt your feelings little boy? Sorry about that. I actually tried Coors Light and i know that there's a difference between the european definition of light (less alcohol) and the american definition (less calories)
That doesn't change the fact that it still doesn't have the kind of taste that real beer has. At least it's good enough to play beer pong with it. I had a hard time playing that game with german beer. Light beer is for people who believe in commercials and just want to get drunk without gaining too much weight.

 

Basically you can drink 20 bottles of it and get drunk without feeling like you have an oil drum inside ya. But yea I love Continental beers, ie Dortmunder (German) is a fantastic beer along with Oranjeboom (Dutch). I think it generally depends on the mood. But overall, European lager is far superior.

 

Beers from europe :good

 

they love Newcastle Brown Ale in the states.

 

Erdinger Hefeweizen oWnage from Bavaria, germany ! Nothing beats german Weißbier.

 

Oranjeboom is drunk by poor students in the UK as it is cheap and nasty and does the job.

i drink Brains SA, guiness, worthy and tetleys

 

and someone needs to teach them stuped yanks its not beer its lager they are drinking. beer is ale. flat full bodied and with over 1000 calories a pint

 

Yea but they sell it in cans which ya cant smash over people's heads like they do in Newcastle. They should try Sunderland's version, Double Maxim Premium.

 

British beer is superior to any other and to be honest it isnt really competitive.

Sorry about that folks.

 

Sorry m8, but I strongly have to advice you against Oranjeboom (that's generally considered the poorest of the Dutch lagers a.k.a. headache beer).
Being Dutch I can state that some fine lagers are made over here, but when you're talking about beer there's really only three options: Chech beer (they were the first to brew beer as we know it today), German beer (Rheinheitsgebot; [former beer purity law] makes sure that the beer stays pure and godly) but the champions of beer, by a mile, are the Belgians.

But this is of course generally speaking, there must be a couple hundred of breweries in Belgium( with 11m people have 200+ commercial beers and dozens more private ones mostly by convents) and Germany alone. A nearby shop sells beers from 130 something countries, it's kinda hard to try em all even it's a small sample of world beers (there are hundreds!).
So far American/Australian/Canadian beer have been huge dissapointments for me personally. Having said that there are of course a couple of exceptions, but overall: European beer.

I'm sure more Europeans feel the same pain I feel when I hear that slogan "Budweiser: King of Beers"........

PS. the worst part is that no matter where I go around the world they always try to sell Heineken as some kind of premium/special beer for ridicilous prices. Heineken is a decent people's lager, not more, not less.

btw: this discussion will probably end in a USA vs Euro shouting match since it's kinda impossible to have tried a lot of both continents withouth actually having been there and there are simply tooo much beers.....

 

As a dutch person that has been to the US i have to agree with a previous poster.

Right now American micro brew has caught up to our mass produced while our micro brewed blows anything out of the water you have there right now.

That said the US has gotten quite a lot better over the years, although i can't drink a Bud or a Miller without sinking into a depression.

 

They sell it in bottles everywhere in the states

 

belgium beer is the best

 

American beer is weak imo.

European beer all the way, especially Danish and German.
