craft beers have made it irrelevant. -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 12:55 19
- Irrelevant to people who buy craft beers, sure. But compare, say, Molson to Budweiser. - Roger More Aug 22, 13:01 6
  - they're both, well, yeah. -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 13:05 5
    - To come at this another way, the worst mass market beers in Australia are Victoria Bitter and XXXX. Neither are good, but they are both bitter beers, - Roger More Aug 22, 13:10 4
      - I had some pretty shitty beer in the UK. -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 13:14 3
        
        and? -- nm - Reagen Aug 22, 13:15 2
        
        there is shitty beer everywhere! although, probably not belgium. -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 13:21 1
        
        Who was disputing that? -- nm - Reagen Aug 22, 13:22
- though, they still only account for just over 5% of total market share. -- nm - znufrii Aug 22, 12:58
- yes cause their sales equate to .000001% of the major brands...oh wait.. -- nm - Beaker Aug 22, 12:58
- I don't think anyone ever claimed that American beers universally were less flavourful by virtue of being American - Reagen Aug 22, 12:58 9
  - Hmm, I'm pretty sure my Canadian co-workers at a company I worked for years ago said exactly that. :) - loosilu Aug 22, 13:00
  - No, american pisswater is less flavourful because it's pisswater. The actual american beer is fine. :) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 22, 12:58 7
    - I don't drink Canadian or Blue either. (They're both only marginally better than Bud or Coors) -- nm - Reagen Aug 22, 13:00 6
      - (I've never consumed a drop of alcohol in my life. All of my commentary on this subject is completely tongue-in-cheek.) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 22, 13:02 1
        
        well, perhaps "a drop" is overstating it (medicine, food), but the gist is there. Never drank. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 22, 13:02
      - we have a Provincial brand that is $4 cheaper a dozen then the brands...me likey $4 -- nm - Beaker Aug 22, 13:01 3
        
        Alpine (or something like that)? - Reagen Aug 22, 13:03 2
        
        Lite Beer M -- nm - Beaker Aug 22, 13:03 1
        
        Lite beer is called Jame Reddy and another one called Strong Beer with a few others too (6 in total) -- nm - Beaker Aug 22, 13:04
