I can't believe the posts arguing over quality of beer in each country... Especially since the mass of the posters tend to sound like they are most interested in the quantity, anyways. There are few of us who seem to disagree that there are better (tasty) and worse (watery) beers. Few people have gone into the thing that really matters most when it comes to beer -
Do you drink it to get drunk?
Or do you drink it because you like it? The reason that the three Mega brews in the US (Bud, Miller, Coors) are so popular is because of the vast numbers of folks that drink it for reason #1, and if thats all you want it for then why pay more than $10/12 pack. Now the Microbrews are definitely good stuff, we don't want to get drunk off of that for many reasons -
i.e. Why spend $50 bucks getting drunk, feel like crap, and have the runs for three days?
The funniest thing about this thread is even as a beer lover (quality NOT quantity) I keep seeing many posts that make me mutter - "LOSER!"
