american beer is piss. you know you can't buy heineken 'lite' in any other country? even the good beers are making piss to suit the american taste buds.

i'll have to go with bavaria
the dutch really are the kings of beer.
shut up belgium.
Not for the reason you give tho, Bavaria is kinda like Heineken (not "Hienekin" huckle?😛 ), theres not that much taste to it. I also call these beers booze-beers Im not sure if this word combination makes sense but what i mean to say is that its beer that you can drink alot of, for example on a night out.
I like Hertog Jan alot. Brand is also good, just as Grolsch.
I have a preference for more stronger beers.
I guess the weak taste of Bavaria and Heineken explain why they do so good abroad lol
