Disrespect US beer all you like, but if you haven't had the regional stuff and are basing your opinion on the mass export stuff... you are ill-informed.
Ha! So you are saying that regional US beer could compete with good European beer?
I'm not going to pass judgement without having tried it and done a blind test. But I strongly doubt that.
Speaking of beer. Not long ago I had the worst beer I've ever tasted. It was a hipster friend of a friend who has a micro-brewery. I'm not joking when I say that it smelled like water from a rancid floorcloth mixed with extract of hops -- the kind new age people use to supposedly combat anxiety. It tasted about the same. He wanted to sell it to my boss. An awkward situation.
Here in the Pacific Northwest of the USA, we'd take up that challenge and I think you'd be very surprised.

The worst beer I ever had was that horrid smoked Hefeweizen from Bamberg, Bavaria. God, that was atrocious. Like drinking beer with a smoked salmon that had been marinating in it for a few days.
