I stumbled across this video on YouTube, it's very well produced and it's actually very interesting. It's about why American beer tastes like water, I would encourage anyone who enjoys their beer or even has an interest in brewing should watch this.

There's a good one on the Argentina 78 World Cup as well, about how bad it was and how it really shouldn't have gone ahead.

I would also recommend Derby Days from Copa90. They are really good and interesting to watch

John Smiths bitter oh dear  

I do think that myself and @super_ram need to educate young Mr. @UnitedPie as to the delights of REAL ale.

John Smiths ....pay! Weazle Wass. 

 

@Chris, I’ll view the video tomorrow at the moment I’m in bed with Mrs. BigTone sleeping soundly beside me I don’t want to disturb her with video sound,

Right I’ve watched the video thanks @Chris interesting to hear the history behind the brewing industry in America.

I enjoy trying different beers from all over the world and for me it’s a case of “horses for courses” when we go anywhere (including abroad) I will try the local beer but I much prefer proper English Ale.

On a recent cruise they had a good selection of real ale in bottles and were very proud of the fact proclaiming that they had ale from every region of Britain, to be honest it was impressive BUT (and it’s a big but for me) they served it chilled, I always insisted that the waiter bring a bottle that hasn’t been chilled, I got some funny looks from the waiters but one day a chap sitting on the table next to us congratulated me and said he was glad it wasn’t just him who likes his ale at room temperature.

i dont like lager, but the american stuff tastes really diluted and quite funny tasting.

its interesting to know that german settlers pushed the brewery industry in america tho.

Interesting video. I prefer real ale or malty beers, but I'm partial to a Pilsner beer on a summer's day as they're light, but they still have more "body" than any American lager I've tried. As for the craft beers, they're a very mixed bag but that's the fun of it. They range from very good indeed to almost undrinkable (a special mention goes to the "Neapolitan" beer the missus chose but couldn't actually drink - totally artificial and full of E-numbers. I couldn't manage it either).

A lot depends on how well the beer is kept though, doesn't it @Fan of Big Tone Whenever I go to a bar I check what's on offer(Guest ales ).I like to try brews that are new to me .I don't mind John Smiths if there's nothing else(5 on a scale of 1 - 10)and if it's well kept.The same goes for the other big breweries.Never ever do I choose lager.Some of the favourite ales I drank when I was much younger are still available but brewed by a different brewery after the mass takeovers by the big breweries in the late 60's and after.Some of my favourites survive in name only and aren't as good as the originals.Anyway I suppose its all down to the individual in the end.

I much prefer Sam Smiths ale, apparently he’s John Smiths brother and they had a fall out, not so widely available but it’s a lovely pint.
