If you want an American-brewed beer that is at least as good as what you get in Germany, try a beer from a smaller brewery. I've had good luck with Anchor Steam beer from San Francisco and Sierra Nevada brand beer from Chico, CA.
I guess I'll really have to look a little harder to find some of these brews.
I'm actually kind of surprised you didn't find anything at Whole Foods, although they do tend to over-represent non-domestic beers and premium large brewery beers over small breweries (in fact, I took this picture to amuse myself...)

Because they stock international beers from around the world, as opposed to only international beers from Wisconsin.![]()
On the subject of beers from Wisconsin, Milwaukee's Beast is probably one of the better beers to act as ambassador for American beer to the rest of the world, n'est pas?![]()
PBR
Although rarely found here (Australia)
Currently there is a big push on with Budweiser and I have to say the imported stuff tastes like dog piss.However Ithink they now brew/bottle it over here locally and it's a 10000 times better.

I love me some cheap American beer, but I'm NOT a connoisseur at all! I think Guiness tastes like soy sauce, and why anybody would drink beer anyway but cold is beyond me...
Am I a hillbilly?![]()

All the macros taste like water that is colored yellow....if you know what I mean.
Before doing so, though, I want to make sure I have a pretty good list of the basic, well-regarded beer producing nations.
And as for Japanese beers, all are pretty much undrinkable
I tried Anchor Steam about 3 years ago, it was the only beer that I tried that made me want to puke because I felt that it tasted like ****, I took no more than 3 sips and poured the rest down the drain.If you want an American-brewed beer that is at least as good as what you get in Germany, try a beer from a smaller brewery.

Mmmm. Sam Octoberfest.

Coming from someone who IS German, Sam's Oktoberfest is a disgrace to anything that is supposed to be a true "Oktoberfest" beer.
@Surely, nice sig! I love CBC Radio 3! My voice is actually on one of their promos
