I usually assume when Europeans complain about American beers, they just are complaining about our "domestic" beers like Bud Light, Coors, PBR, etc. which makes sense, they are our bottom shelf beers.

I recently chatted with someone at a party who said "no, all American beers are bad" including microbrewery beers.

I've never been to Europe so I wouldn't know, but I do like my Left Handed Milk Stout, NWPAs, and hell even the hipstered out IPAs.

Are these what y'all are referencing?

It is only a wee bit worse than a piss.

Yes. There are exceptions, but most American beer usually fall into ine of two categories:

  1. Water.
  2. Infused with a bunch of stuff that shouldn't be anywhere near beer, in an effort to have it not taste like water.

At least these are the common denominators for most well known beers.

Exceptions, off the top of my head:
Blue Moon
Shiner Boch
Some weird local brew I stumbled across in Galveston
While it doesn't hold a lot of flavor, I do enjoy Miller now and then.
