Topic: The crazy regulations that keep American beer bad (Read 1238 times)
I heard that drinking beer from cans can be bad but never really looked into the facts for myself. I do wonder the health effects of this however.
I think is crazy to have regulations that are hurting american beer, what ya think???
What regulations are you talking about? I'm not very educated on this topic so any information you could share on this topic would be much appreciated.
Seems more like a troll-type post to me (and there is nothing wrong with that.)
I'm favorably impressed by American brewing as of the last decade or so. In my area (the Pacific Northwest) it is almost impossible to find a town which doesn't have a micro-brewery, and most of them put out an interesting and high quality product. I am a big fan of many of the products put out by Rouge, and my recent favorite (my being attracted to Imperial Stouts) is 'Yeti' (East of the Rocky Mountains, but what can you do.) Of course it cost me $10/bottle, so it's good that Bitcoin has worked out as a speculative adventure.
They are not made bad by regulation. There are just a lot of crap beers around because that is what sells in volume.
Just stay away from the high-volume cheap adjunct lagers and there is plenty of interesting stuff out there:
Dundee Irish Red
Wasatch Devastator Doppelbock
Highland Gaelic Black Mocha Stout
Highland Gaelic Little Hump Ale
Mendocino Imperial Stout
Double Dog Double IPA
Kannah Creek Crossed Irons Ale
Shiner Bohemian Black Lager
and lots more. The secret is to look beyond the big companies like InBev, MolsonCoors, and Miller; most of what they churn out is swill.

You must be seriously misinformed, and never heard of the word microbrew. Basically most beers associated with InBev are mass produced and not of good quality, and those happen to be from all over the world and not just the United States.
It has nothing to do with regulations, its all about profit and not every brewery is working that way. Here is a list of American beers to try and enlighten you;
Dogfish Head 90 Minute Ale (120 Minute Ale)
Brooklyn Black Ops
Ommengang (makes a nice Belgian-American hybrid)
Goose Island Ale
Sam Adams Alpine Spring
Sam Adams Cold Snap
UFO White
Stone IPA
Backlash Death
Sierra Nevada
and the list goes on.
The mass produced market of cheap beer is everywhere, not just the United States...do a search on InBev and get a list of all the nasty beers you ever had, its run by them, not microbrews.
These regulations suck, but it's not the regulations that keep American Beer "Bad" there are literally thousands of high-quality delicious brews out there. The thing that keeps American Beer bad is the taste of American beer consumers.
and many German Beers were held back from experimenting with beer until recently
Yeah.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinheitsgebot
But I didn't hear any complaints about the quality of the beer.

Wasn't there an article recently that said that Michigan now allows craft brewery to sell directly to grocery stores? and many German Beers were held back from experimenting with beer until recently I have never heard anyone complain that American made beers are bad, in fact most I have heard think Americans Make the best beers in the world even from Germans, French and English people and the one I met from Denmark.
What is so special with this?

It's not beer. Yet. If you have ever homebrewed or taken a brewery tour, you should know that this is pretty much exactly what a brown ale tastes like before it's fermented. Yes they added some molasses and other sugars but it still pretty much tastes like lightly hopped wort made with some brown and crystal malts in the mix.
A malta is a soft drink for the OP.
I don't have a clue if American beer is good currently, but this thread isn't really about beer.
"Regulations" are the last thing that prevents people from being fracked. Rather have a beer that tastes like shit but hasn't it, than a toxic one that tastes good.
Those "crazy regulations" are (or should be) precisely of the same caliber of what you call "Rule of Law" when you see a criminal being brought to justice. They are a kind of "private sector" rhetoric which is still today (and surely was under Bush) even more dangerous than Obama's statism this thread is about. That if your federal government is corrupt and bloated and meddles too much, it is a different discussion. Private sector abuses and federal level abuses are not exclusive, both are wrong.

Interesting points you made there and I fell a pretty good analysis of the topic.

Maybe the OP should switch to Indian Malta?
Some American beer is bad. If you're only experience with American beer is with national brands like Budweiser or Coors, you aren't trying hard enough.

I think is crazy to have regulations that are hurting the unborn future beer drinkers, what ya think???

If you don't like the American beer, then you can order either Dutch or Irish beer, through online services. They will be a little bit expensive though. But having tasted several brands of American beer myself, I don't find anything wrong with them. Could you please share what you found so bad about the American beer? Also which brands are you referring to?
If you think American beer is bad, then no offense, but you are obviously not an informed beer drinker.
