True enough, but I’d bet that the only American beers that make it overseas are the mass-produced products of the big brewing companies. For example, here in Kansas City, Boulevard Brewing makes a splendid array of products that I would hold up against anything in Europe, but it’s only distributed to about 20% of the U.S.. Our friends in Europe won’t get a chance to taste it at home. I imagine the products you mentioned are the only ones they have to judge.

That’s actually one of the reasons I started the thread. There are many excellent wines made in the U.S., too. I could never understand the snotty attitude that Europeans seem to have about American wines until I traveled to Europe and the only American wine on the shelves there was Gallo. Then I understood.
