on second thought, Julianne was totally right, american only exports bad stuff to the world. that’s the right attitude.

lol, no intention to put down the american beers, just thought it’d be nice not HAVE TO drink american beers.
“Take that, foreign beer snobs!

We just don’t export the good stuff.”
how about drinking inside america? where do they put the good stuff?

on the other hand, remove world from “world beer cup” just as in “world football series”. no offense, yankees.

On the other hand, Velveeta may only make sense if you grew up in a region where school is cancelled on the first days of deer hunting season too.

I grew up in such a region*. Velveeta still does not make sense.

(*More precisely, I grew up very close to such a region … my school district remained open, but a few to the north in my part of PA would close.)

one might have thought the Velveeta is a better target…

And it is high-visibility orange.

Note that this joke may only make sense if you grew up in a region where school is cancelled on the first days of deer hunting season (buck and doe).

Strange, to demonstrate all those gourmet credentials one might have thought the Velveeta is a better target…

Actually, someone at the party moved heaven and earth to find some Dale’s Pale Ale! However, by the time I finished my Rainier tall-boy, they were all gone.

I think Beaujolais Nouveau is rather equivalent to a can of PBR.

This wouldn’t really be in the spirit of the thing, but Dale’s Pale Ale, from Oskar Blues brewery in Lyons, CO (a bit outside of Boulder) is actually a fantastic beer … that comes only in cans.

Not that it could hope to compete with High Life (aka, “the Champagne of Beers”), etc, but you should try it sometime.

I think it’s a purity thing, You don’t drink Budweiser at a fancy restaurant, and you don’t pound back Beaujolais Nouveau at the Super Bowl.

The quality is really limited by the can requirement, rather than the domestic requirement. Specialty brewers in the US make phenomenal beer. For example, at the most recent World Beer Cup, american breweries nearly swept the gold medals in “German Style” beer events (Categories 24-29, at the link). Take that, foreign beer snobs!

We just don’t export the good stuff.
