@super_machine: You poor deluded fool, you do not argue with Monty Python, especially not with John Cleese; did you ever see Fawlty Towers? Or are you from Barcelona? "American beer is like making love in a canoe", says the Australian, "it's fucking close to water." For what it's worth though, you need to refine your beer-drinking palette. You have not known beer if you've never leant back and sipped on a "Tyskie", or a "Jever" on bottle.
Been a few years since I last had the opportunity to enjoy good american beer, for they are quite rare and far inbetween compared to the plethora of choice you have in say, Austria or Germany, or even Poland. Europeans tend to snicker in general at the american drinking habits, prone to declaring it base and simply quite dull; it's a stereotype that, unfortunately for the american populace, has roots in the general lacking quality of US made alcoholic beverages. California can swing some decent wine, but that's about where the line is drawn.
I'm neither american, austrian, german or polish, mind; so I speak but simply of preferences made out of experience. In the end, to each their own. Still, though, the joke's a good one, and should not be argued against. Ever. Do you remember what happened to the germans when they visited Fawlty Towers? Indeed..
I spent a few weeks in Germany years ago, and I've always been looking for the real thing ever since. I fell in love with this region brew called Iserlohn. Perfection! I did not pick up on the reference :-P I'm way too serious sometimes! Where I live in the US, there is a good variety of local beer. Bell's brewing, Michigan Brewing, Dragon Mead, Arcadia, Rochester brewing...etc.
