Why is mass produced American lager generally much, much better than it's
European and Canadian counterparts?

Like what, for example?

While there is some tremendous beer produced in the US, in my opinion
none of it comes from the "mass producers." It's all small batch
microbrewery stuff, and it compares favorably with anything I've had
in Europe or elsewhere.

But the mass produced stuff here is like making love in a canoe.

Bear in mind this comes from Xomicron, a troll of the highest order.
Google him, he's a well known idiot. Nobody takes anything he says
seriously.

I don't think that it is. When I think better, I think better flavor.

For the style that American brewers (like Bud, Coors, Miller) try to
create, they are indeed the best in the world at it. But, if you are
trying to make an mass produced such as Becks, you might find that
American beer doesn't come close. I just depends upon exactly what
you are comparing (really need to compare within the same style).

But then, I go to post this message and I find you have cross-posted it
all over hell and are acting very trollish.

that's easy, it missing 3 things that obviously don't appeal to your
palate: flavour, body and alcohol.

Alcohol isn't the prime determinant in assessing whether a beer will
be interesting. The majority of beers, whether mass-produced industro
swill lagers or craft ales, come in at around 5% abv or below. Some
of my favorite beers - British mild ales, for instance - are quite
low in alcohol, 4% abv or below, and can be superb. There are plenty
of crappy beers sold with elevated alcohol levels. Flavor and body
are different matters entirely.

reminds me oth the joke/saying: "oh you want some american beer? Let me
finish a pitcher of this and i'll make you some."

Considering the olfactory sense is a part of taste though, and that
particals have to enter your nose and go past you soft palate when you
are inhaling , you've pretty much tasted **** if you've smelled it.

I still laugh everytime i hear someway say something tastes like shit
though..

:

About 6 weeks ago I had the honor of stewarding the World Beer Cup. One
of the judges at the table I was working was from Miller. We had prepped
the table with bread, crackers and two pitchers of tap water. Right
before the session began she asked me if we had any bottled water so I
said, "Sure, which kind do you want, Miller Light or MGD?" It got a luagh
-- I went and found her a couple of big bottles of spring water.

Turns out she is responsible for product consistency and has a rather
amazing palate. Listening to her contribute to that judging session was
an eye-opener for me -- there is a lot going on in the lighter flavored
beers that my own senses are blind to. I guess I have a very subdued
sense of taste and smell so I like over the top, ultra hoppy or ultra
malty (or both) beers and very heavily seasoned food.

I wonder, though, what the original poster meant by "weak." If it's a
reference to alcohol content I'd suggest finding a bottle of Dogfish Head
World Wide Stout. It's an American Beer, isn't it?

Just curious, is the second comment from experience? I mean I've tried
Budweiser, so I agree with the first comment.

Well, yes, it is weak but I like Sam Adams and as for ****...I feel sorry
for you if you know what it tastes like. Would you care to share with us how
you know what **** tastes like? Something in your childhood, perhaps?

Ciao, tschuess, salut, adios, bye

We Canadians used to call American beer ****water because to get
anything out of it you had to drink so much you spent the night at the
urinal

Do you know that American beer companies invented the Cold beer, because
cold drinks hide the fact that they are tasteless, so they could make
cheaper beere and get away with it. I learned that from "the beer guy",
ten 1/2 hour shows on PBS way back, any beer drinker could enjoy those
shows if they play them again.
